There will be no more ‘Monkey Mondays’ at the Carrabba’s Italian Grill in Stuart, Florida.
A local couple’s weekly tradition of eating outside on the patio while two of their pet monkeys, including 9-month-old Capuchin JoJo, joined was so popular customers and waitstaff called them “Monkey Mondays.” That ended last month when JoJo bit a child’s finger, according to a report filed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Ramona Cook, manager of the Carrabba’s where the bite happened, told the Miami Herald the company changed its policy — no more monkeys on the patio, only recognized service dogs and ponies.
“Like at Publix,” she said.
