Should you get a pet monkey from Africa?In: Wild Animals, Pets |
Answer
Since 1975, the Federal Quarantine Regulations (42CFR71.53) have restricted the importation of primates. Primates CAN NOT under any circumstance be imported to the US as pets. Also applies to re-importation of a primate originating in the US. They can only be imported for educational or research purposes.
Contrary to what the person below wrote, monkeys can make good pets but under the right circumstances. They do require A LOT of work, time, and patience. It is not for everyone. If you are truly thinking of getting a monkey as a pet, do your RESEARCH first. It can be the best expereince of your life, or the worst. It all depends on how you educate yourself.

No, not only is it not fair to keep a wild animal as a pet, but monkeys are not good pets at all. They are very smart animals, very closely related to the human. They are very curious as well. They can be very mean animals, they bite they pee and poop everywhere, they will pull your hair hit kick scratch. Like i said before they are very similar to humans so it would almost be like having a child except it would be vicious. Not all monkeys are like that but getting a wild one from Africa...yes it will be like that.
