That's a good argument for shooting any monkeys you encounter in the wild in the US from a distance.
Once, when I was walking guard around the perimeter of a chemical plant in North Carolina, I saw a troop of monkeys at 6 am one morning raising hell in some tree tops. I didn't report it, of course, because they take your gun away when you go crazy, and I wasn't about having my gun taken over a few monkey in the north American woods. It was a couple days later that I learned of an "escape" of monkeys from laboratories around there at the hands of PETA, so as it turned out I DID see what I saw. Their statement said they had "returned the primates to their natural habitat" after "liberating" them. PETA are stone cold idiots - there are NO monkeys that have North American forests for a natural habitat. I doubt if any of them survived the following winter.
These monkeys that hissed in this woman's face were evidently straight off the boat en-route to be experimented on, rather than already carrying any artificial viruses. Shooting them would be a mercy killing, keeping them from being experimented on.
Not to mention that dead monkeys do not hiss and spread wild viruses.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
