Texas Woman Feeding Hot Cheetos to Spider Monkey Inside El Paso Zoo Enclosure Fired From Job at Law
EL PASO, Texas (WSVN) — A viral video showing a woman who climbed into a monkey exhibit at a Texas zoo has led to the alleged woman getting fired from her job.
Video of the incident posted to Instagram shows the woman under a waterfall feeding two spider monkeys at the El Paso Zoo.
“These are primates we’re talking about, they could do some substantial damage to you,” Mason Kleist, a zookeeper at the facility told KVIA. “They may be small monkeys, but they can take you to the ground if they wanted to.”

She risked spreading COVID-19 to the monkeys, Libby and Sunday, a zookeeper said, not to mention personal injury.
The Texas woman seen in a video feeding hot Cheetos to spider monkeys while inside the monkey exhibit at the El Paso Zoo has been fired from her job. The law firm she had previously been employed by called her illegal entry into the enclosure “irresponsible and reckless,” and sent their thoughts out to the spider monkeys, Libby and Sunday, for the “traumatic experience.”
“The firm has always been a strong supporter of animals and animal advocacy,” Lovett Law Firm, which specializes in personal injury, said in a statement on social media. “We absolutely do not condone this irresponsible and reckless behavior.
“We support the El Paso Zoo and our thoughts go out to the spider monkeys, Libby and Sunday, and hope that they will recover from this very traumatic experience,” the statement continued.

I understood boog completely 
I drank
Myself up to his IQ
A coworker and I have an ongoing debate about who would win in a cage match: a chimp or an MMA fighter.
I say chimp, all the way. It will tear your face off.
Seriously - rented a little house surrounded by foliage to try before we buy for retirement.
Wake up, making coffee, look up . . .

Watching TV for monkeys
They joined me on the patio. Think they wanted to tell their monkey friends they chilled with a new Monkey TV star! 
(from their perspective) I'm pretty sure it was not 'very traumatic' for them 
You guys ever seen the 'Cities' episode of Planet Earth 2?
This is incredibly irresponsible, and I don't blame them for firing the woman, otoh.
are accustomed to putting things in their mouth, going 'okay I don't like this' and spitting it out and moving on with their lives without it causing them trauma.
In PE2 they show monkeys in India descending en masse into the open air markets in the streets and trying to steal everything that's not nailed down.
Bags of chips seem to be particularly popular 
I doubt they can read the labels 
I think she's needs some kind of help.
Fortunately sometimes cooling your heels for a month or two, sleeping on a 1" thick 'mattress' and eating jail food can do wonders.
My point was that the lady's former employer was going a little overboard with their PR/CYA.
Go back to the beginning and you'll understand this
They aren't going to be 'extremely traumatized' by a Hot Cheeto. I've had them, they really aren't that hot. We're not talking 4-Star 'Thai Hot' Red Curry here.
They got like 1 Cheeto each.
I agree it wasn't cool, I just doubt it was a highly traumatic experience for the monkeys.
A fact for which I'm quite thankful. I love me some monkeys and apes 
“We support the El Paso Zoo and our thoughts go out to the spider monkeys, Libby and Sunday, and hope that they will recover from this very traumatic experience,” the statement continued.
Pretty sure the Lovett Law Firm is the woman's employer, as opposed to the Handlers.
