I want to adopt a baby primate to raise, such as a monkey or a gorrilla. I am interested in taking care of one. Does anyone know how much this would cost and how I can go about getting one?

ask michael jackson's! he got bubbles (or pebbles?) the chimpanzee...
LOL - why, just tell me why, why do people seriously want to have exotic pets that come from endangered species?

Most states ban it for good reason. Did you ever stop to wonder what happened to the mother? She was likely killed so someone like you would drop thousands on a cute baby primate.

If you search online you can find out how to get a permit if your state doens't have a law against it... then you search for ppl who raise them. it would be easier to adopt a smaller primate like a miniture monkey...keep searchin'

Contact zoos in your area and have some "qualifications" attached to your enquiry.
They wouldnt give those precious animals away to strangers that just want to have some fun with them.
It would be best if you volunteered at a particular zoo so they get to know you better.

BAD, BAD, Bad idea!!! If you really want to help these creatures become trained as a vet tech or zoo tech and do it that way. Monkeys carry a lot of infectious diseases and most veterinarians won't even see them for concern of infection from these zoonotic diseases to themselves or staff. Plus check your local laws on whether its even legal.
