Where can i find some baby squirrel monkeys for sale???

HI there...perhaps this person's account of owning a squirrel monkey may enlighten you: http://monkeymaddness.com/articles/92344鈥?/a>





Many people seem to think that a baby primate would make a good pet because it is so cute and helpless. However, the reality is that they grow up. Monkeys cannot be potty-trained as they like to fling their dung and they bite. Apes (such as chimpanzees) are soon stronger than their human ';owner'; and they also bite. Humans and primates share many of the same diseases and can pass them to each other. A cold for a nonhuman primate can be deadly. Hepatitis from a primate bite can also be deadly. In order to try and reduce these problems, the primates are subjected to terrible pain and anxiety when their ';owner'; has their teeth filed or removed to avoid the biting, or relegates the animal to a cage or back room because it cannot be socialized.





And then there is puberty. At this point the primate becomes even more of a problem, as it has imprinted on humans. The primate is likely to become more and more unruly and dangerous and what are the owner's options? Zoos cannot take these animals because they don't know what they are and would not be able to fit in with their own kind. They obviously can't be taken out to a farm and let loose (like many people do with dogs and cats). What does that leave? Biomedical research?





Unfortunately, monkeys seldomly do not make good pets for the inexperienced and they are like 2 years olds that never grow up.
