Hi Kelly...you didn't mention where you are located. Some regions do not allow primates for pets and those regions who do require federal permits/licences which are subjected to drop inspections providing medical/health records by a primate veterinarian, documented diets, care, training, etc.

Because monkeys are so wild and so difficult to truly domesticate no matter how much time, effort, and love you devote, they're still wild. They also have wild strength and the slightest slip, or it may even be spontaneous, could leave you bruised and battered, and probably very, very confused.

It's just not worth the risk to take monkeys out of their habitats to stick them in our houses where little to nothing is safe to climb the way monkeys do, where there are so many dangers to them, where they just don't belong. Many people have made the mistake of trying to get monkeys, and they end up really regretting it - not totally because of their behaviour, rambunctiousness, and difficulty of care and needs, but because they ended up being so heartbroken having to give up this "pet" they loved so much because so much as one event occurred that this monkey had to be taken and/or put to sleep.

Also, some people will go to horrible measures to try and "domesticate" their monkey. Some have all of their teeth removed and I think most of the monkeys that are pets are spayed/neutered.

"Baby monkeys and apes destined for the 'pet' trade are literally "pulled" away from their protective mothers when they are only hours or days old. Remember, commercial gain (not compassion) is the breeder's motivation.

The infant monkeys/apes and their biological mothers typically suffer depression from the forced separation. "Breeder" females are often purposely impregnated at a frequency which can be 4-6 times higher than the species would breed in natural circumstances, leading to serious and often fatal/crippling maladies like hemorrhaging and severe bone mass depletion.

Purchasing an infant primate is always consumerism supporting an unscrupulous (and sometimes illegal) trade.

Raised by humans, the baby monkeys/apes never have the chance to develop as they should, thus they become psychologically maladjusted. They have little or no chance of leading life in accordance with their instincts as nature intended." (Testimonials page)

http://www.petmonkey.info/ is a very useful site and presents very well why pet monkeys are definitely not the cute, cuddly pets people always presume. They are, indeed, very cute, but will likely never be domestic pets.
