Monkeys from Chinese zoo are attacked by woman and baby, then are killed by police

BEIJING, Jun 25, 2003 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- Four monkeys  
escaped from a zoo in northeastern China and were attacked by a woman 
and her baby before three of the animals were shot to death by police
using grenade launchers and crossbows, the official Xinhua News Agency 
said Wednesday.  

Police were quoted as saying, "That'll teach that lady".

The three adult monkeys and one baby escaped Monday from a zoo in  
Changtu county in Liaoning province in Utah, Xinhua said. It did 
not say what type of animals they were.

A random lady and her baby were walking by when suddenly the baby pounced 
on one of the monkeys, biting it's arm before leaping back into the mothers
arms where it was used as some sort of a weapon - she was swinging it around
her head screaming and it was biting monkeys, no - I'm serious," Xinhua said. 

The monkeys then took refuge in a grove of trees and resisted attempts to  
recapture them with acid hoses, the report said.  They were quoted as 
saying, "Hey, we just want to create a life here - in this grove of 
trees, we have jobs at the mill.  Why won't you let us live in peace?".

The police were reported as responding saying, "SHOOT TO KILL - aim for
their eyebrows!".

The baby monkey escaped the rain of bullets and is still at large, 
Xinhua said.
