What types of monkeys are legal to own?
 

just a question..

What you mean by "own"?

They should all be illegal to own.

to own a pet monkey

All of them I think in some countries unless you have a license.

Best to ask the local ASCPA, did I get that right?

Or go to Google.

Found this

100% :2 cents::thumbsup

It would be best to check with your nearest animal shelter or veterinarian in regards to state regulations.

A bonus in doing so is that if you are serious about getting one, they will be the ones who will nurse your monkey back to health. You can find out exactly what kind of experience they have with that particular animal.

I own a few human monkeys, all 100% legit.

why would you want to have something that behaves like an insane 2 year old child for 10, 20 or 30 years anyways. go visit a zoo :)

Owning monkeys hasn't been cool for 150 years...

What about 'helper monkeys' though? The ones that assist the disabled?

Do the disabled own them, or are they leased?

Lol. I did laugh at this.

Depends on the state, in California, you can't own Piranha because they can live in the Aqueduct and you can't own a skunk because they scare the shit out of people.

Would be funny to de perfume a skunk and teach it to walk on a leash

Leave my people alone

Half the baby Piranha imported from the Amazon comes into Los Angeles airport:disgust

Worst pets ever.

I don't think those ones with the big red asses are legal to own, if that's what you were thinking.

That would be funny lol also since monkeys are smart they need constant stimulation. It would be like a painful ft job. Also throwing piss and shit, no thank you . Dogs4life for me.

I think there are a couple kinds that you can own but make sure you don't get the kind that's known to rip off people's faces and hands and eat them alive...:2 cents:

monkeys are intelligent just like us humans (err, some more, some less) ... wud YOU want to be locked up or leashed? THINK before getting a pet ...

Why would you want monkeys? they are creepy and sooner or later they will fuck you over.

I have a Parrot with the intelligence of a 2yr old and the emotional level of a 4yr old. He isnt insane though. But he does have way more personality than most people do.

WTF??? :1orglaugh

holy fuck, pacmans are real :upsidedow

When I was growing up my family owned a zoo in Massapequa NY. It was called the Massapequa Zoo and Kidde Park. Themed around a monkey mountain constructed by Frank Buck, in his time a famous animal trapper. That mountain housed around 300 monkeys originally from India. People came from all over the world to see the mountain; it was truly an amazing site to see. I asked to work with the animals rather than out front where we had built rides for the kids. Well they may have looked cute but I came to learn real soon they were filthy, ferocious animals some weighing as much as 80 pounds that could kill a man. They almost killed me, my uncle actually had to shoot one of them.
Stay away from that type of monkey for sure.

We also had a little Spider Monkey that was housed in a different part of the zoo. She was really cute and adorable weighed less than 10 pounds. I remember her jumping on my chest and clinging to me when I would feed her and clean her cage. When they sold the property I really wanted to take her home and I could have but decided against it because of all the work involved taking care of her. They are like babies that never grow up. So if you really want a Monkey I would suggest the Spider Monkey, but I’d give it a lot of though first.

Oh sorry, I thought you were kidding. Thanks for this.

Nope, I would categorize them same as the Spider Monkey or Squirrel Monkey
Also be sure to check the laws in your state, maybe even the county.

Out of curiosity why do you want a Monkey? I know they look adorable and
can be cute and cuddly but there also is another side to them. Not so much a danger (the breeds we’re talking about) but the work involved. Some live to be 20 to 25 years old. Basically it’s a life long commitment that most people won’t endure. They are noisy and extremely active during the day (if they’re not it’s a sure sign of being sick) need plenty of room with some sort of jumping environment, especially the smaller Monkeys can jump 6 to 10 feet, They get sick just like a child maybe even more so and need regular Vet care. Also very messy and sure to destroy any area you keep them in. They really don’t belong in captivity.

You changed my mind/
Thanks

I almost bought a Cappuchin monkey when I was younger. I talked to a breeder and she told me that it was like having a perpetual 2 year old child and when they reached puberty the males start biting and throwing shit..

that was enough for me to decide to not own a monkey..

i think they would be fun for a bit, but the experience would get old really fast..

Smart and humane decision.

They just jerk off all day and don't listen to anything you say. Not a good pet. Imagine the worst kid in the world and then times it by two and you have the average monkey living in a home.
