The monkey's owner also did not have a permit to own a primate.
PENDLETON COUNTY, Ky. — A 58-year-old woman faces charges after a small monkey in her home bit a child, according to Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.
State law says any person bitten or in contact with native wildlife or an exotic animal can create exposure to infections so animal bites are required to be reported to the local health department within 24 hours. Pittman said the Pendleton County Health Center never got a call. "We don't have a definitive amount of days that we know it's safe to quarantine them to assure the human couldn't get rabies like we do with dogs and cats," Pittman said.Jeannie Wilson has been charged with one count of propagation and holding wildlife without a permit.
