Remember the lab monkeys that definitely weren't infected with super viruses?
One of the three monkeys at large (the other 18 were "destroyed") wandered into a Mississippi backyard and learned a lesson in the Second Amendment.

There ain't gonna be no monkey pandemic on that mama's watch!
More from the Associated Press:
Jessica Bond Ferguson said she was alerted early Sunday by her 16-year-old son who said he thought he had seen a monkey running in the yard outside their home near Heidelberg, Mississippi. She got out of bed, grabbed her firearm and her cellphone and stepped outside where she saw the monkey about 60 feet (18 meters) away.
Bond Ferguson said she and other residents had been warned that the escaped monkeys carried diseases so she fired her gun.
Momma bear to the lab monkey before she sent him back to Jumanji hell:
'I did what any other mother would do to protect her children,' Bond Ferguson, who has five children ranging in age from 4 to 16, told The Associated Press. 'I shot at it and it just stood there, and I shot again, and he backed up and that's when he fell.'
Ferguson said she was only looking out for the whole neighborhood. She called the cops who told her to keep an eye on the monkey, and apparently she figured the best way to make sure the monkey didn't move was to incapacitate it.
Permanently.
'If it attacked somebody's kid, and I could have stopped it, that would be a lot on me,' said Bond Ferguson, a 35-year-old professional chef. 'It's kind of scary and dangerous that they are running around, and people have kids playing in their yards.'
That's a clean shoot that even Harambe (RIP) couldn't argue with.
... of the 21 monkeys, 13 were taken from the accident scene and arrived at their original destination last week. Of the eight monkeys that were ejected from their cages, five were killed in the hunt for them and three remained on the loose before Sunday.
Minus one!
