Now I guess I gotta wear a dumb monkey suit, bite you and throw poo at you too
Nobody told me just what I was getting into with this job...

You're getting bananas now too, instead of cupcakes...
You'll have to wear a cute little diaper too... just so you know...

In the 50s my grandpa brought my grandma home a monkey. She says he had the habbit of occasionally bringing home animals, cats, dogs, once 50 chickens and a small herd of milk goats lol..... anyways she never mentioned it throwing poo but she has said that it was very loud, couldnt be handled, had to stay in the cage and just a bad pet in general.

You're tough! I wanna raise!

How about I just send you a highly illegal primate and I'll just set out in the bushes eatin' cupcakes and listen for the sceaming when he bites your arms off?
Then I can rush in, save you (as long as there is NO CHANCE I'm gonna get bit too, and it's a very small monkey, and it doesn't notice me, and I don't get skeerd) and then I can be a hero and a stalker.

Gee I'm smarteder than even King Sourland....

I feel so bad for monkeys at zoo's I feel like they are mistreated. They look sad. I am glad yours are happy, you run a nice operation spectrumranch. Redhen, I too think it would be cool to have a money.

spectrum, you have beautiful and obviously wonderfull animals but your also experienced exotic animal handlers...
monkeys in expereinced peoples hands, people who know how to handle them and in the apropriate living situations with apropriate enrichment ecct are completly different than the average human being in a pet setting...

ive worked as a zoo keeper, it was the happiest time of my life (except when working with the psyco zebra) and i love the monkeys and primates (infact my favorite animals other than the hyena were the orangutans)
and we had people all the time see the monkey playing and being cute and even very friendly with their handlers (and the people during the educational programs) and say how theyd love to have one as a pet...

its so easy to look at these animals in the right hands and think they make good companions for everyone.
and im sure red hen would do all the homework and try to be those right hands...

but i do think ALL the risks need to be made clear as well.
ive seen so many sent off to sanctuaries and dumped simply because their cute baby monkey that they like to dress in frilly dresses and put diablers on and botle feed and treat like a baby starts ripping off its diaper and pooping all over the house, or hits sexual maturity and not knowing its a monkey chooses a human mate and does what monkeys do to protect that mate...

there such inteligent animals, but when raised as a pet/child its such a disservice.
