I just read this article and I became curious…
How does one go about acquiring a pet monkey? Is it illegal in all cases to keep one as a pet? Do laws vary by state? What about organ grinders who have monkeys that tip their little monkey hats when tourists give them a dollar? Why are they allowed to keep monkeys?
Basically, any info about how to go about getting a monkey and/or a breakdown of primate ownership laws would be super.
Thanks in advance!
