this is an enormous yet untapped business potential.
currently household pets are dominated by dogs, cats, and boa constrictors. why not monkeys?
yes AIDS, but they can be sanitized for that. theres no other good reason to deny monkeys a visa to the USA.

the pros outweigh the cons by a mile
pros:
resourceful - your monkey would possess the intelligence of a wild 12 year old boy, yet the emotional maturity of a grown adult
clean - they poop & pea where you tell 'em, plus they can clean your place

cons: aids but we've been over that

monkeys never turn on their owner, unlike dogs & cats

12/12/2009 1:04:10 AM

Clearly no one here has seen Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.

Monkeys are not domesticated creatures, they are wild animals that do not belong in homes. Just because they are cute and cuddly does not mean they can't tear you apart.

12/12/2009 2:12:24 AM

A creature with the intelligence, accountability, and curiosity of a small child, with the strength of a teenager and the dexterity of spider man running around my house causing havoc? Sign me up!

12/12/2009 2:15:18 AM

guess what monkeys can do that dogs and cats can not


throw their poop at you

12/12/2009 11:37:30 AM

write shakespeare

best my dog ever did was bark out a sonnet

fuck dogs, i'm pro-monkey

12/12/2009 11:38:50 AM

I would love a pet monkey...but I'll probably never have one...cause you have to have them for 40 years and they can turn on ya and hurt you pretty bad.

12/12/2009 11:39:19 AM

lol. i love the jump from cats and dogs to boa constrictors.... I don't think they're the 3rd most popular pet

12/12/2009 11:40:24 AM

if i didn't have to feed them aborted rat fetuses or live mice i'd totally get a snake. they are so cool.

but i'd puke my soul out every time i had to feed it

Monkeys are violent.

No thanks.

12/12/2009 11:41:27 AM

con:
they can be something like 5 times stronger than a grown man when they're full grown.

Any monkey you see on TV or in the movies that is small and cute and fun is just a baby. They are completely unusable as pets by the times they're 3 or 4 years old, and they can live for decades

12/12/2009 11:43:28 AM

there are different types of monkey, some more suitable for being pets
there were some at an african resort that were small and playful
besides dogs have been domesticated over time and over that time they killed millions of owners, didnt ya'll hear about the massacre of '42,
ok thats not real but yall know what im saying

12/12/2009 11:52:41 AM

Having a pet chimp is a great idea

12/12/2009 11:59:49 AM

^ Haha OK well that's what my link went to

12/12/2009 12:00:45 PM

I'd only hang around a chimp if I had a large knife with me at all times so I could kill that bastard if I needed to.

12/12/2009 12:01:08 PM

^^^please remove that, thats horrible
