Ok in case you missed it last night on ABC Primetime here is the LINK
According to this story there is a large number of dumbasses out there who want to purchase a monkey and consider them a human baby? The thought would never have crossed my mind had I not seen this show. Ok, I admit sometimes monkeys can be cute when they do cute little monkey things like piss and shit on each other. But to have one as a pet (cough, cough) I mean baby it’s just plain disturbing.
You see people buy these Capuchin monkeys for between $5-$8k each and then proceed to try and raise them like a human child. They bath them, cloth them and read them bedtime stories with the hope that the monkey will love and respect them for it. But what really happens is, most owners end up pulling out the monkeys teeth and cutting off it’s fingers.
You might be asking why would a mother of father do this to their child…errrr…I mean monkey?
Well it turns out that monkeys bite and climb on things? I mean who would have thought that a monkey being a primate from the jungle would bite, scratch, climb on anything in sight, piss and shit all over and just make an all around mess of things. Oh yeah not to mention they will turn on you in a second for no apparent reason. Well maybe they turn on their owners because they were ripped away from their mother at the ripe old age of 2-3 weeks old…
Now I understand someone being lonely and wanting a companion to be with. Hell, I can even understand someone owning a cat, but not a monkey. Monkey’s should be left in the jungle or maybe a zoo.
“Earth to highly disturbed person who is considering owning a monkey…Don’t Do It”…go buy a nice dog or fish or something.
Am I the only one who thinks this is disturbing?
