ADORABLE ! YES. INTELLIGENT ! YES.

A GOOD FAMILY PET?

NO!

As a family pet a monkey is probably one of the worst choices,

• MONKEYS REQUIRE 24 HOUR CARE AND SUPERVISION

• THEY DO NOT GET ALONG WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

• REQUIRE PROFESSIONAL CARE FROM EXPERIENCED PRIMATE VET.

• ARE DESTRUCTIVE AND TEMPERMENTAL

• LIVE VERY LONG LIVES

• CAN AND WILL ATTACK ANYONE OR ANYTHING THEY PERCIEVE AS AN ENEMY OR ARE AFRAID OF.

• NEED THE COMPANY OF THEIR OWN SPECIES

• NEED SPECIAL HOUSING

  In a perfect world human primates would learn to appreciate their nearest relative and allow it to live as it was meant to, free to play in the trees, enjoy the companionship of it's fellow primates and simply love to look at them and not have the overpowering desire to own and dominate a free spririt.

  If you are looking for a very special pet you can love and cherish and cuddle, try a kitten or puppy, both you -your family and neighbors will be much happier.

  If you feel you must have the company of primates try helping out a friend - sanctuary or zoo and learn what it is really all about before jumping onto the primate ownership lists.

  The primates at Mindys Memory Sanctuary are never bred, sold, traded or used as a sideshow attraction. The animals are not expected to perform or obey, simply to be a primate.
