I still don't know. These is monkey. A wild animal. I don't really agree with any wild animal being in captivity.

How do you think a lot of endangered animals come back to live in the wild, from the brink of extinction? Through CAPTIVITY!

My boss helped artificially inseminate Cheetahs and has helped up their numbers by hundreds. Their zoo has the best Cheetah breeding program in the US.

Chinchillas, if not taken in by humans would be extinct. There are barely any left living in the wild do to the fur trade, but because humans domesticated them they are still around. Now this doesn't mean any animal should just be taken from the wild, but sometimes it is very necessary. After all, it's our fault they are going extinct. The least we can do is put them into a captive breeding program and hope to one day set them free again.
