Summary:

Two dogs broke into the Baton Rouge Zoo during the night and killed 3 greater spot-nosed guenons. The monkeys had reached out of their cage toward the dogs, and were “basically chewed up” according to a zoo director. Two of the monkeys were dead when they were discovered by keepers in the morning, and one needed to be euthanized.
