Fish & Game Looking for Owner of Monkey That Severely Bit A Paso - KCOY Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo - News

PASO ROBLES, Calif. - Local officers with the Department of Fish and Game are working to figure out who owns the monkey that severely bit a woman in Paso Robles.

The woman, who was bitten earlier in the week, was allegedly caring for the animal when the monkey bit her.

She was keeping it in a small kennel and only feeding it frosted flakes and junk food.

Fish and Game says the owner will be charged with possession of a restricted species and will also be billed for the quarantine costs of the animal because it bit someone.

The monkey is in quarantine at Zoo 2 You in Paso Robles.
