Domestic monkey slave rescued after being seen 'doing dishes' and 'using knife'

Rescuers in Brazil believe the monkey they captured is the famous monkey Chico, who went viral in June after being spotted sharpening a knife, washing clothes, and doing the dishes.

The capuchin monkey was rescued from Serra Negra Farm, a rural area in Aroazes, Brazil last Friday (December 9).
