    They smell, are very hard to take care of, are very expensive, and throw their own schitt!

    I used to want a monkey but they scare me. I'd rather have an Ape.

    two friends of mine who dated in high school and the funny thing in common that both of their families owned pet monkeys when they were young. weird.

    My coworker's boyfriend ordered her a chimp (dressed in a conductor's outfit) to bring her balloons on her birthday about 2 weeks back. It was actually a magical moment, the office spilled out into the street and lots of people who were just passing by stopped to hang out and gawk at this extremely friendly and intelligent animal.

    The owner/trainer/handler was a cool guy and made his living taking the chimp around to parties and events. You could tell he enjoyed his life, but also that taking care of the chimp WAS his life, 24-7.

    I used to work for this guy. He used to dress me up in outfits and take me to parties and events also, that is until he got that damn Chimp.

    Yet another cross-species outsourcing tragedy.

    i did read about this kind of behavior a few minutes ago.
    thats pretty wild. monkeys dont really like "outsiders" which can even include a spouse.

    this lil guy seems like a lot of fun

    PAUSE?

    The family across the street from my parents has an aging monkey. But it has grown obstreperous in its old age and and does not want to wear its clothes (I am not sure why this is a problem). Also it does not want to eat monkey food, only people food.

    I VOTE NO

    i find it interesting when people have pet monkeys
    a homegirl told me this morning she wants a pet monkey and it got me thinkin

    if you got a squirrel monkey, let me get that

    No lie, a friend of a friend's girlfriend got the bright idea to smuggle some sort of tiny monkey back from South America in her big-ass hairsprayed kooshball mall-rat hair. She got off the plane and was excitedly telling her boyfriend how amazed she was that the monkey had been so quiet and cooperative during the trip. He reached into her hair and found a dead monkey.

    I would definitely rent a movie about this.

    For some reason, I just get this gut feeling that monkeys belong in their natural habitat, living with other monkeys and doing natural monkey actvities, sans clothing and dipers.

    I actually visited a rehabilitation camp for former pet monkeys in South Africa. They had a big plot of jungle and a staff of trainers that would teach them to climb trees, find food, and get along with other monkeys.

    One of the monkeys came from somebody's house in Singapore. It had been trained to hug their guests. Any time a tour group walked through the rehab forest, this monkey would come racing up, arms outstretched, trying to grab onto whoever was closest. At which point the trainer would yell in a thick South African accent, "No! No hugging! You are wild monkey now! Don't let him hug you!"

    Man, how can I say this without it not just sounding all the way foul?! Ok, here goes......... One of my homegirls got a monkey. Man that sounds oh so wrong!!! Lol. Anyway, I hate that thing it is so wild and has completly tore her house apart. It got out of its cage one day and when she got home there was crap literally everywhere and her couches were shredded with the stuffing all over the house!!!

    That monkey looks like the ghost face killer from the shaw bros. movies.

    A monkey is probably better than a ferret. I had a friend who had a ferret. Really stinky but they don't do any tricks or hug you.

    They are breeding tiny pigs for pets now in the UK. They are actually pretty clean if kept away from mud.
