When I was a kid I briefly had a pet monkey.
My mother had a friend who was married to the owner of a pet store. The pet store owner had come into the possession of a monkey for safekeeping while a lawsuit was being settled,
Long story short, the elderly monkey had ended up needing a new home.
I’d always wanted a monkey and I even had a cage that I’d built the previous year when I took a welding class for my HS Shop Credit.
The monkey was older than dirt, but we gave him a good home for the year that passed before HE passed and went to that big jungle in the sky.
Nothing much of note ever happened, but you probably won’t find very many other ‘pet monkey’ stories, so there it is.
Most women do at some point in their lives it is called a husband lol.
No, it would be a disaster for my life and the monkey wouldn't enjoy it neither. And this video is disgusting to me, I'm sorry. Actually not sorry, monkeys shouldn't be pets.
When I was two I asked for one. Since then I realized reality.

No it’s cruel.
they are not domesticated and should not be pets,
let’s face it some people should not even be allowed cats, dogs or plants
My neighbour has one. I can't say that a monkey is much excitement.
So... no, thanks.
It's on a chain most of the time. But escapes every now and then. Nothing serious happens.
I do notice that it's somewhat phlegmatic and unlike i. e. a dog it's emotionally quite detached from its owner.
The wild macaques here live in groups and are very social with each other. To keep them as pet does not look as if they enjoy it.
I'm imagining it being very cute while young... then as it grows older, pooping on top of my ceiling fan, so that when I turn it on I get a rain of surprises, eventually it biting my face of... because this is a wild animal. No thanks.
They are great , smart. You can train them to open door if locked out. They can bring you pills. Get to things you can't. I think it is now illegal to have them as pets in US.
No they are possessive. They need attention all the time and they get very jealous of others taking your time. My aunt had one when i was younger.
As a Pet no because i don't feel their species should be domesticated at all. Zoo's should be a crime
No it is cruel and I very much doubt any of the monkeys are happy living a life like that
Yeah, it would be my only friend
Nah I'd rather go make some babies 😻😂
Why the fuck would I want a pet American?
i am a monkey
I cannot imagine having a pet monkey.
No they'd be a handful
No... they belong in the wild
No, absolutely not.
Monkeys are based
