Summary:
A man who bought a monkey over the Internet from a woman in Idaho was bitten on the hand while feeding the 16-lb primate at his home. The man had the option of getting rabies shots or giving up the monkey to be tested, requiring euthanization as the rabies test for animals is a fatal test.
