Fact and Fiction: Monkeys and Apes as Pets
Myth 1: Monkeys and apes are cute and cuddly pets.
Fact: The cuddly baby will grow larger, stronger, and more aggressive.
As babies, all primates are dependent upon their parents, whether that
parent is the natural mother or a surrogate human; at this stage they
may appear tractable and cooperative. When they begin to express their
normal and instinctual behavior as they mature, monkeys and apes
become extremely difficult to handle and can be up to seven times
stronger than humans. They have large teeth and can inflict serious
injury, especially upon children. Biting and scratching are natural
behaviors for these animals, and are not eliminated by captive
breeding or the love of a surrogate parent. Their long lifespan (up to
30 years for monkeys and 60 years for apes) creates the need for long-
term and specialized care.
Another reason why they should be hunted to extinction. The earth has
no room for creatures that are hostile towards man. None.
LOL, so you think animals are a bigger danger to the human race that
people?.
Myth 2: Pet monkeys and apes can be raised like humans.
Fact: These animals require unique care, including a specialized diet,
companionship of other nonhuman primates, and appropriate housing.
Their housing alone requires very large enclosures that allow for
climbing and swinging—in short, the kind of environment provided by
their natural habitat. The average pet owner cannot provide for these
needs. When owners find the animals too difficult to handle, they
often resort to confining them in small, barren cages. Others are sold
and resold in the booming exotic pet trade. They may be used for
breeding to start the cycle anew, or they may come to their bitter end
in a research laboratory or a roadside zoo.
Primates who are hand-raised by humans are severely deprived of
appropriate models for their natural behaviors. It can be difficult or
impossible to rehabilitate them to live with other monkeys and apes,
and often requires large amounts of scarce resources for lifetime
care. This puts a major strain on the very limited number of
sanctuaries capable of providing adequate care for primates. Most
sanctuaries are now full or near capacity because pet owners have
relinquished so many animals.
They're probably just pissed off that black people have been
traditionally compared to them, evolutionary-wise. I mean, wouldn't
you be?
Myth 3: Monkeys and apes do not pose a human health risk.
Fact: Monkeys and apes carry a number of viruses as well as fungal,
bacterial, and parasitic diseases that can pose health risks to
humans. Some of the more serious are: Herpes B, shigella, salmonella,
tuberculosis, and monkeypox. There is also concern about simian
viruses transmitted to humans getting into the human blood supply
(such as the newly-discovered simian foamy viruses).
Almost all macaque monkeys naturally carry the deadly Herpes B virus,
which can be transmitted to humans through body fluids, scratches, and
bites. Ninety percent of reported Herpes B cases result in
encephalomyelitis, and 75% of those cases resulted in death.
Humans also pose a serious health risk to monkeys and apes, via the
transmission of pox viruses, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and meningitis.
Frequent and unprotected contact between humans and primates increases
these health risks, though employees at sanctuaries and other
facilities are specially trained to minimize health risks and injury.
As long as white women clean up after sexual intercourse (and take a
piss), I don't see the problem. It’s better odds than if they fucked
the average *** buck off the street, for Christ's sake.
Myth 4: Monkeys and apes can be trained to "behave."
Fact: Despite attempts to train these animals, their intelligence,
independence, and strength puts them in control—they determine whether
they want to "cooperate" or not. The monkeys and apes seen on
television and in movies are often very young infants. Their careers
in show business are frequently short-lived because even professional
trainers have difficulty handling them without using negative training
methods. Beyond the infant and adolescent stage, when a monkeys or
apes may be submissive, trainers cannot maintain control over primates
without physical discipline or punishment. People who attempt to keep
them as pets face the same problem, and attempts to neutralize the
danger can be inhumane. For example, monkeys who are used to assist
the handicapped routinely have all their teeth pulled because of their
tendency to bite.
From what I've heard, you'd better have at least 4 million in
liability insurance.
Myth 5: Monkeys and apes kept as exotic pets are not captured from the
wild and therefore are not affecting the conservation efforts for
primates in the wild.
Fact: Although it is illegal to import primates into the United States
for the pet trade, there is still a booming market for wild-caught
primates for pets in South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. In
addition, the expanding bushmeat trade creates numerous orphan animals
who end up as pets. The misleading fiction that primates make cuddly
pets promotes this trade. Regardless of the source of a primate pet,
the message sent by such animals being desired as pets keeps the
demand for, and consequently, the supply of animals in motion.
They should all be exterminated. Better yet, the black race should be
exterminated and the monkeys should take their place. Less violent.
Better vocabulary.
