The monkey's owner was able to get Sammy to let go. The girl was not seriously injured.
A police report was filed, but Animal Control said no legal action will be taken against Sammy's owners, who, according to officer Sarah Burnth, are responsible owners who kept Sammy in a cage that has a sign warning the monkey will grab anything within reach.
Animal Control does not recommend monkeys as pets, but said the Java Macaque has been properly taken care of and the owners are not negligent.
