Keeping
is illegal monkeys and other primates in BC as pets. They are listed as a
foreign breed that is controlled under local law. Monkeys are societal and live
in groups with their families. Taking babies and adults out of this group is a
pain for everyone. When choosing pets, people often don't think about how big
an animal will be and how long it will live. When the responsibility for care
is no longer manageable, animals are often handed over to animal shelters or
animal shelters - provided that these places are not yet full.
BC
SPCA does not support keeping or raising exotic animals as pets. This is due to
their unique physical and emotional needs. These animals often suffer from
grooming due to their professional needs. Exotic pets are often taken out of
the wild and can hurt or die during capture or transportation. When people
catch wildlife, they also disrupt fragile ecosystems and threaten species
survival. Some infant monkeys are irresistible. Many monkey babies like
capuchin monkeys look very cute and helpless and look like a human child.
However, these sweet babies grow up to be troublesome adult monkeys and do not
become good pets.
CHALLENGES OF MONKEY
BRINGING UP:
Accepting
pet monkeys is not like taking care of most other pets. Well-groomed monkeys
can generally live to be between 20 and 40 years old and require your full
participation throughout life. Monkeys do not grow or mature like human
children. They are essentially permanent infants. Pet monkeys may also be
poorly accepted by new people in your life, including spouses and children, and
make it difficult to escape on vacation. Besides, it is challenging and
psychologically tricky for monkeys to find a new home for pet monkeys. In
addition, monkeys require a lot of social interaction. Without time and attention,
pet monkeys can cause severe behavior problems such as screams and bites, as
well as psychological problems that are difficult to treat.
LEGAL ISSUES:
Primates
like monkeys can be illegally kept as pets wherever you live. Permits may be
required even if the monkey is lawfully owned. From time to time, the license
holder may undergo a house inspection to ensure that the correct equipment and
care is provided.
MEDICAL PROBLEMS:
Various
diseases are transmitted among monkeys and humans. (These are called zoonotic
diseases, can be very serious.) However, it can be challenging to find a
veterinarian nearby who can treat primates and is willing to treat them. In
addition, captive monkeys can be challenging to keep healthy. For example,
monkeys often need special diets that can be expensive and time-consuming to
prepare. Diabetes is common in pet monkeys due to the poor nutrition that many
owners have. This is just single of the diseases that you and your veterinarian
must monitor constantly.
BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS:
A
baby monkey with a sweet addiction eventually becomes native wildlife. Raising
monkeys around people doesn't change their wild nature. Pet monkeys are never
tamed. Indeed, deprivation of healthy social relationships with other monkeys
can lead to behavior problems and neuroses. Pet monkeys tend to bite well (and
have 32 teeth to deliver those nasty bites). Some monkeys are calm, and others
are very aggressive. However, even the mildest monkeys are unpredictable and
can be offensive to everyone, including the next monkeys, especially during and
after puberty.
MONKEY RISING:
Monkeys
need a large, secure enclosure. If possible, you should spend your time
outdoors. And they have to be offered a variety of continually changing toys
and training equipment to master the challenge; otherwise, they will suffer
from boredom. Some states require specific types of enclosures to meet permit
requirements, but there is always a need to protect monkeys from protecting the
monkey and the public. In addition, monkeys are clean and tidy. Most do not
train effectively in the toilet. Many young monkeys can make diapers and at
least partially train for bathrooms, but their skills are often lost when they
mature. They can also perform unpleasant activities, including feces and urine
(throwing, smearing together, etc.). Besides the mess on the toilet, pet
monkeys are very naughty and destructive, especially when they're bored.
CONCLUSION:
Overall,
monkeys are not suitable pets. Yes, some can be pretty cute. In reality, however,
monkeys can do a lot of damage to thrive in a human household and require too
much attention and caution. For monkeys (chimpanzees, orangutans, gibbons),
these topics are just as important. In short, non-human primates and humans are
poor roommates.
