I gotta Monkey!

[Addie]

Hehe, my nana went over to Africa again, the first time since i last went with her and since my beloved dog James died, the people we were staying with bought me a monkey!!! His name is Emory and he is a 8 month old Spider monkey! I love him to pieces! I will put pictures up if anyone responds...

A monkey seems like a much bigger responsibility than a dog.....

They just took a monkey from Africa, or what?? I'm ASSUMING they bought it from a credible breeder and it isn't 100% wild.

...they bought him from Africa and brought him to the US? How did they do that? I believe there are some strict laws against that...or at least it would have to be quarantined for some time. What if it has some kind of disease or something?

Oh I forgot about that when I replied earlier. Yeah there is a BUNCH of paperwork and you have to obtain a permit to own one in the states. And I don't think its possible at all to just bring one via plane to America, ESPECIALLY from a country prone to disease via primates like Africa.

I doubt they would let you take one over to the US.

Jessika is partly right about the wild animal thingy, but still, the dog was once wild, and so was the horse, and ect! But I am not saying monkeys are going to be like that, im just saying that some COULD be. So I am still so very happy for you! Show us some pics please!!
