Homeless monkey arrested in Russia http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_785998.html Story filed: 10:05 Friday 30th May 2003 A monkey has reportedly been arrested as a tramp in Russia after joining a group of homeless people. Gosha, a macaque, was bought by a rich family in Biysk, eastern Siberia, but was kicked out of their home after becoming uncontrollable, IMA-Press reported. The monkey lived on the streets for months and was befriended by a group of homeless people. Police arrested him after a raid on house where homeless people were squatting. Police officials said they would settle Gosha in Novosibirsk Zoo because it was too expensive to "extradite" him back to Africa. -- Carrie McLaren Editor, Stay Free! 718.398.9324 www.stayfreemagazine.org www.illegal-art.org
