A common marmoset is found abandoned in a laundry bag on a London bus, prompting an investigation by the RSPCA. Multiple outlets report the animal was discovered on Friday morning, July 17, on the route 302 while the bus was travelling in north-west London. One report places the discovery at 11:43am on the 302 bus between Mill Hill Broadway Station and Kensal Rise, while others describe it as shortly before 11:45am in Kensal Rise. The monkey is said to have been hidden inside a caged enclosure and left behind as an apparent extra passenger. According to one account, the animal receives some food, described as apple, after it is found. Other coverage describes the monkey as stressed and dehydrated. The common marmoset is reportedly given the name “Oyster,” linked to the fact that it was discovered on a bus. The RSPCA launches inquiries into how the animal was transported and why it was left on the bus, with authorities expected to establish whether there was any neglect or illegal handling involved.
