So most of ya’ll know me and how I feel. I am not a “PETA” person so don’t get this wrong. But a Chinese company has purchased land in Levy county Fl for a “primate breeding facility” to breed lab monkeys. I am all for proper growth and development but there is nothing good going to come from this! As vectors of so many diseases “not including what they’ll be injecting them with” we don’t want monkeys runnin’ around the woods! The Silver Springs monkeys are bad enough! The USDA rarely completes the annual inspections they are supposed to “this I know first hand”. This facility won’t bring any jobs to speak of, it won’t create more growth as the area is pretty remote, so there is nothing good here ya’ll! Please write your representative and Governor Desantis and let them know this is unacceptable!

Good luck James! Chinese are everywhere in world including this country. I think it's BS they can own anything here, since we can't own there.
Agree, I just wanna stop the facility. Stop that, they will sell the land! Would love to end them buying land but that’s gonna take victory 11/8 and in ‘24 and a whole lotta bitching starting now to pull off! And I mean a WHOLE LOTTA bitching!

There's actually "wild" monkeys that live close to a public storage facility behind Ft. Lauderdale airport. i believe they got out many years ago because of a storm. some rich guy had them including other exotic animals. The monkeys have reproduced and have a healthy pack. FWC warns to not feed or touch the monkeys cause they can carry HIV and other nasty shit. Ive seen customers who have storage units there and they leave the car for whatever reason and the monkeys have "robbed" the car.

What I have to say on the subject is not fit for reading - way too many bad words.
I will add to what I started lol. I believe a property owner has a right to sell said property to whomever has the coin. I do not believe that a foreign company or even individual without citizenship should be allowed to own any real property anywhere in this country but don’t blame the seller. I damn sure don’t want a lab monkey “breeding facility” a few miles away from my hunt camp! And we all know that breesing facility will transition to “test site” slowly/not so slowly but very quietly! FFS, did we not learn from Rona in Wuhan? Seams they are just trying their luck now! Don’t know what good if any but my emails have been sent. As far as local economy… a Dollar General would do more good that this shit hole will in that area!🤣

They feed them at the Park N Go by the Ft Lauderdale airport.
The people who work there leave out bowls of food for them.

I can not think of one good reason for them to want to have such a facility here where they supposedly will pay more for the land, have more expenses, restrictions and scrutiny than anywhere else in the world.
So what reason does that leave for them to do it here?
They’ve bought the land already. But yeah, makes no sense!

It does if you have nefarious intent considering the USA is the only country in the world that can stand against them ...
at least for the moment.

Might ask this question of any politician you write to.
Don't hold your breath for a reply though.
I quit writing letters to my so called representatives in the early 90's.

I can think of one. They don’t want that shit getting out in their country.
BTW there is one of these around Titusville area somewhere. I used to work for BellSouth and had a trouble report on the facility. There all kinds of signs up as soon as you got on the property. It didn’t give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I never even saw one monkey which made me think it was some serious shit going down in there
