All about ChincoteagueRose A. Valenta writes:

I guess the folks at PETA didn't hear about the NASA budget cut. Obama cut financial aid for the Moon Mission Project to off-set our financial deficit. So, there will be no monkeys on the moon or at the Wallops Island Flight facility waiting for lift-off. Actually, there has never been any squirrel monkeys living here. However, this didn't stop PETA from bringing three wannabes and demonstrating at Wallops Island, VA, on Wednesday, February 3, 2010.
