And you can't compare the wildness of a monkey to the wildness to that of a dog. Dogs have been domesticated over hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Monkeys have been domesticated.... never.

For some odd reason, that made me laugh really hard. Maybe I'm just in a wierd mood.

Yea anyways...it's usually not a good thing to keep a wild animal in your home. This is a completely different climate than Africa. They don't sell prepackaged monkey food or toys..it's really not ideal. Now if you had a large enclosure designed for a monkey...maybe it would work. But actually the disease thing really bothers me...importing creatures that are not native can wreak havoc.

It's the same thing as having a tiger in your home. Please reconsider bringing it home.
