The Board of Appeals has ruled, and they have ruled that Frisky's Wildlife Sanctuary can keep it's 22 monkeys, at least for the remainder of their lives, and that they can take in additional monkeys on a temporary basis. The lovely and talented (and I'm not just saying that because she's one of the 8) Lindsey McPherson has an article on the matter that you can find here.
Over time, my take on Frisy's has changed. At first I thought it was totally stupid to bring in monkeys into Howard County, especially to a residental area. As time has passed, though-- although I'm still not sure how kosher it is to have MoKos in the HoCo, Ido feel that Frisky's owners and staff are responsible and will do their best to keep both the animals and the surrounding community safe. So I'm OK with the Board of Appeals' decision.
