i want a monkey

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Unless you are a primate specialist doing special studys on them for the advancement of science they IMO no one should own one.

1.) I'm betting you don't like poop thrown at you.. even if you do go to #2..
2.) They can turn on you just when you think they're nice little monkeys.. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-03-04-chimp-attack_x.htm
3.)Those attack bites carry diseases..
 
i want a Great white shark in my neighbors pool when the kids start screaming @ 10:00 @ night....A monkey just throws his poo around, to much work cleaning up crap..@ least the pool filter would clean up the mess from the kids..

ummm. :grinyes:

sounds like from what ive read a gorrilla is more suited to my life style. i could teach it to ride a motorcylce. haha. jk

so the monkey idea is out! but thanks for all the info guys.
 
I for the longest time have anted a monkey... I'm born in the year of the monkey so I thought it would be kind of cool to actually own a macaque, or capuchin. But it will NEVER happen, Unless I work for a zoo and I'm taking in an oprhan/rescue,etc I will never have a primate in my home. Certainly not as a 'Pet'. I meen, monkeys are tottaly awesome, but very poorly suited for captive life. You can take there teeth & testicals, but not the wild instinct that it has had for millions of years. Who ever thought monkeys made great pets and began imprting them for the pet trade needs to be locked up in a nut-house.

Just My opinion.

That's why people want one, all those reasons!
 
Just ask the guy who had is face and testicals ripped off by his chimpanzee about how primates make good pets. :)
