Wanting a pet monkey

Here's a little story about monkeys from Richard Pryor. Maybe this will help.

A friend gave me two squirrel monkeys, and the first one, I called him "friend", cuz the first time I opened the cage he ran up my arm and stuck his dick in my ear! Felt like a wet Q-tip. And there wasn't no action for him, so he got mad and pissed all over my cheek.

My youngest son would also love a pet monkey. they're pretty cute!

Sorry, but monkeys don't make good pets.

(as I think kickycan pointed out already).

They are cute, intelligent creatures, but they are wild animals and need to be in the wild (or at least in a very good, humane zoo) in their own social groups. Human companionship is no substitute.
