Monkeys at wildlife sanctuary must go

Published October 10, 2006 4:00am ET



A recent ruling by Maryland?s second highest court means Frisky?s Wildlife and Primate Sanctuary in Howard County must get rid of its monkeys, a lawyer involved in the case said.

“Any of the animals that [Frisky?s manager Colleen Layton] keeps that are classified as wild and exotic, including the primates, cannot be kept by her,” said Thomas Meachum, an attorney who represents neighbors of Frisky?s opposed to the animals. “She can?t keep those there because of the board of appeals said she couldn?t.”
