I laughed out loud at the buy a primate web site. It looks very questionable...did you see that they are selling bear cubs and tigers??? As kids, my brother and I were dying for a pet monkey, but after reading this blog post, I am NEVER getting one! Plus, I think a wild animal deserves to live in the wild. They have no business being cooped up in a cage in someone's home. Dogs and small cats are domesticated...monkeys are not. Oh my goodness – that was a great post.
