The Issue
On June 25th an Elkhart woman was attacked by a lemur as she walked into a public consignment shop. No where did it have any warning signs that there was an exotic animal at the location. In result of the attack the woman received 6 stitches and just had surgery from complications from the lemur bite and is still in the healing process. This isn't the first report made on the same lemur. In 2012 the same lemur Keanu attacked a postal carrier as she delivered mail in her car. Several also went unreported. Unfortunately law enforcement can do very little to help the victims as there is no state laws or city ordnance regarding sub primates. Lawfully all they can do is quarantine the animal for 30 day's. Please sign help bring awareness to the state level to help change the law regarding these type of primates!!
Also to bring awareness of what these type of animals are capable of when kept as pets!
