🚫 Controversial Monkey Mega Facility On Hold 🚫The largest monkey-holding project in the US, proposed for Brazoria County, has been placed on hold due to mounting concerns from residents and local officials. The facility was intended to house up to 43,000 non-human primates, but the number was later adjusted.
