Spider monkey 'El Changuito' was killed alongside 11 cartel members in a deadly shooting in the town of Texcaltitlan in Mexico, despite wearing a tiny bulletproof vest at the time
--------------------------
A bloody shootout has seen 11 cartel members killed - as well as the pet monkey of one of the gang members.

The monkey's owner was among the dead, with the pet - who was wearing a tiny bulletproof vest and camouflage jacket - lying on his chest.

1.  I doubt that vest was ever bullet-proof.
2.  Even if it was, the blunt force trauma would easily kill that tiny monkey.

Looks like he might have just suffocated from all those coverings.

People forget that many furry creatures cannot take being covered up that much.  I hate those vids which show dogs and cats in costumes --they're  not designed for extra coverings unless they're consistently in cold environments.  First signs of distress are they act drunk and fall over.

Hahaha go the humans.  Gaspgaspgasp go the pets.

My bit on that has been said.

Interesting article otherwise.  Sounds like law enforcement won one for once in 1920s South Of The Border  Chicago.

Should have let the little guy have the grenades he wanted they might all still be here.
