Pet monkey

A pet monkey is a monkey kept as a pet. Monkeys are beloved for their entertainment value, resemblance to humans, and human-like abilities. However, primatologists, zoologists, veterinarians, and conservationists oppose the keeping of primates as pets due to the animals' welfare, public health and safety, and conservation of endangered species.
