Well then, using your reasoning, if dogs made "great pets" the shelters wouldn't be so full of ex-pets! Sheesh! Think before you type!

I do understand your concern though.

I've known a couple of people who owned Monkeys and one person had a problem with hers. She did become aggressive. Fortunately she was re-homed to a sanctuary and was allowed to be with other monkeys. Apparently she needed that interaction. One person I knew owned 2 monkeys and so they had that interaction and were very happy kiddos.
