The Idea Of Having A Pet Monkey; Should People Have One?

Danger to yourself aside, taking a wild animal into captivity is ripping it away from all the life that he is meant to live.
Also, if humans adopt that animal as a common household pet they will, after some time, become unable to return to the wilderness, even if their life would depend on it. Take for example dogs: humans adapted them for their own needs, that's why there are so many breeds in existence, each one has a different purpose. And with the many capabilities of apes it would just take a little time before they suffer the same fate.

    I agree with this point. An animal which has been raised in the conservation site need to be given a trial at reintroduction before they can be accessed whether they are suitable to be living in the wild. Mind you, a large number of them failed.
