There is something irresistible about an infant monkey. Baby monkeys, such as , appear so sweet and helpless and seem so much like a human infant in many ways. However, those sweet babies grow up into difficult adults and as a general rule, adult monkeys therefore do not make good pets. Since monkeys are so intelligent they can have some great attributes but ultimately their smarts makes them very challenging pets.
Note: This article was originally written about the problems with specifically keeping monkeys as pets, but the issues are equally as important when it comes to apes (chimpanzees, orangutans, gibbons). Monkeys are a group of animals belonging to the order
(which of course, includes apes and humans) -- and the points made here can be applied to all non-human primates.
Monkeys are a Big CommitmentTaking on a pet monkey is not like caring for most other pets. A well cared for monkey can live to be anywhere from 20 to 40 years old and needs your full commitment throughout their lives. A pet monkey cannot do without your attention when life gets busy or circumstances change. They do not grow up and mature like human children do - they are permanent toddlers.Monkeys may not take well to new people in your life (including spouses and children) and make it hard to get away for vacations. Finding a new home for a
is extremely difficult to do and psychologically and emotionally hard on the monkey which has bonded to its first owner.Monkeys are expensive to house (you need a secure enclosure, proper permits and sometimes additional insurance on your homeowners policy) and feed and some require specialized diets that can be time consuming to prepare.
A significant time commitment is also needed just for routine care and cleaning up after a pet monkey but more importantly, a monkey needs a large amount of social interaction and attention from the owner. A pet monkey deprived of your time and attention will only develop severe behavior problems such as screaming and biting and psychological issues that can be difficult if not impossible to remedy.
Legal Issues With Pet MonkeysPrimates including monkeys may be illegal to keep as pets where you live. Many states prohibit keeping primates as pets, regardless of what kind it is. If a monkey is legal to own where you live permits may be required and sometimes permit holders are subject to home inspections to ensure proper facilities and care are being provided. Homeowners policies may require additional liability coverage or cancel your policy altogether if they find out you have a monkey but not having insurance puts you at risk if your monkey bites someone.Medical Issues With MonkeysA wide range of diseases can be passed from monkeys and other primates to humans and vice versa (these are called
and are nothing to laugh about). Finding a vet near you who is able and willing to treat a primate may also be challenging but considering how long monkeys live it is inevitable that you will need one at some time during their lives even if you don't feel routine check-ups are necessary. Diabetes is common in pet monkeys due to the poor diets many owners feed them and this is just one disease that requires constant monitoring by you and your vet.Monkeys Can Be AggressiveThe sweet, dependent baby monkey will eventually grow up and become the
it was meant to be. Unfortunately, raising a monkey around humans doesn't change the wild nature of monkey and in fact depriving a pet monkey of normal social relationships with other monkeys can create behavior problems and neuroses. Monkeys are not domesticated no matter how many of them you put in your home.Pet monkeys also have a tendency to bite (and they have 32 teeth that deliver these nasty bites). They have different personalities so one cannot generalize but some monkeys will be very aggressive and others will be more docile. Nevertheless, monkeys are unpredictable and may turn aggressively on anyone including the person to whom they are the closest, especially during and after puberty.Messy MonkeysMonkeys are not clean and tidy. They can't really be effectively toilet trained (many younger monkeys can be diapered or at least partly toilet trained but that is often lost at maturity) and sometimes engage in distasteful activities involving their feces and urine (such as throwing it and painting with it). Aside from the toileting messes, pet monkeys can be extremely mischievous and destructive, especially if bored.Housing Pet MonkeysMonkeys need a large, secure enclosure and should spend time outdoors too if possible. They must be provided with a wide variety of ever changing toys and exercise equipment to keep them challenged and stimulated or they will suffer from boredom. Some states require certain types of enclosures to fulfill permit regulations but you should always have a place to secure your monkey to keep them and the public safe when you aren't with them.Overall, monkeys are not good pets. Yes, some can be quite sweet for a time and the appeal of having a furry baby want you to hold and feed them does linger for some time but the reality is that monkeys are capable of causing too much harm for an undomesticated animal and very few homes can provide the type of environment they truly need to thrive.

Good Morning and welcome. I am Dr. Loretta , a licensed veterinarian and am happy to answer your question.
I have a few questions to help me better assist you. Has anything changed with your older dog?Are they still eating well? Are they both neutered?How old is your older dog?
Thank you!
Sincerely, ***** *****

Hello Doctor Loretta,&Nothing has really changed with my older dog, other than she is getting older and more fraile. She did have a growth on her tongue that our vet is watching but due to her age (13years old) he really did what to put her through and lot of medical treatment. They are neutered/spayed.
&What I have noticed is my older dog now does not put much effort into playing with my daugthers as she has in the past.
My younger dog does seem a little depressed, although he is still eating his meals he turns away treats.&&
replied&2 years ago.
Thank you for that information...Younger dogs do detect when their buddy is getting older and more frail and will show this insecurity by licking the older dog and sticking close by. There is nothing wrong with this and probably nothing you can do to stop this. Try taking your younger dog out for more walks and playing with him more often when the older dog is sleeping or resting....this may help decrease this insecurity that he is feeling.Also, you can try a DAP Collar available at the pet store. This is a canine pheromone that acts as a calming agent and decrease the younger dogs anxiety for his older companion.
Does that make sense to you?
Please let me know if you have ANY other questions. My goal is to give you 100% satisfaction and if you are not yet satisfied, please REPLY so I can clarify for you.

马上分享给同学
据魔方格专家权威分析，试题“— Do you mind if I keep pets in this building? — _____. [ ..”主要考查你对&&日常用语、谚语&&等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：
现在没空？点击收藏，以后再看。
因为篇幅有限，只列出部分考点，详细请访问。
日常用语、谚语
日常用语的概念：
日常用语就是日常生活中的交际用语，如：Thank you. Sorry.等 谚语是人们生活中常用的现成的话。谚语类似成语，但口语性强，通俗易懂，而且一般都表达一个完整的意思，形式上差不多都是一两个短句。 例如：He laughs best who laughs last. 谁笑到最后，谁就笑得最好。 &&&&&&&&&&& No pains, no gains. 没有付出，就没有收获。 怎样学好英语交际日常用语：
&推荐坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”，那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。一、多“说”：&&&&&&&自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。只是你必须要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。二、多“听”：&&&&&&& 寻找一切可以听英语的机会。别人用英语交谈时，你应该大胆地去参与，多听听各种各样人的发音，男女老少，节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到，如果这样的机会少的话，你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听，这将会对你帮助很大，而你去听学过的课文的磁带，那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。三、多“读”：&&&&& “读”可以分为两种。一种是“默读”。每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处，读的内容可以是你的课本，但最好是一些有趣的小读物，因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。每道题的得分都与你的理解程度有很大关系，所以经过高中三年阅读的训练后，你必定会在高考中胜券在握。另一种是“朗读”这是学语言必不可少的一种学习途径。四、多“写” ：&&&&&&& 有的同学总是抱怨时间紧，根本没时间写作文。其实“写”的形式很多，不一定就写作文才提高写作能力。比如写下你一天中发生的一些重要的事情，或当天学了某一个词组，你可以创设一个语境恰如其份地用上这个词。这样即可帮你记住这个词的用法，又可以锻炼你的写作能力学习英语不用花大块的时间，10分钟的散步可以练"说"，吃完饭后可以读一会儿英语小说，睡前听几分钟英语，可以使你得到更好地休息……只要你每天抽出一些时间来练英语，你的英语成绩肯定会很快提高的。和雨有关的谚语： 1、Save for a rainy day 未雨绸缪例句：We save money for a rainy day. 2、It never rains but it pours 不雨则以，一雨惊人例句：I just got sacked and my wife left me！So it never rains but it pours！ 3、right as rain 身体健康，一切正常例句：I was sick, but now I feel as right as rain. 和云有关的谚语： 1、on cloud nine 飘飘然如上九重天例句：She passed the auditon and now she is on cloud nine. 2、head in the cloud 不切实际，好高骛远例句：You can't always have your head in the cloud, you need to be down-to-earth.和彩虹有关的谚语： 1、chase rainbows 做白日梦例句：Chsing rainbows won't get you anywhere. 和风有关的谚语： 1、sail close to the wind 冒险例句：If you believe what he said, you are sailing close to the wind. 2、know which way the wind blows 了解情况例句：He never tells his thoughts until he knows which way the wind blows. 和雪有关的谚语： 1、be snowed down 工作太多做不过来例句：I've been snowed down by my work！ 2、white as snow 纯洁无辜例句：The accused didn't comitt the murder,he is as white as snow。 和天气有关的谚语： fair-weather friend 泛泛之交

laws on animals thoroughly. Pets
generally have a different status
than in your home country.
It's a law you have to keep your pet on a leash and large dogs are recommended
to be muzzled in public areas in case local Chinese people feel intimidated and
report a potentially vicious dog to the police.

When at all possible, do not have your maid walk the dog as they are more
likely to be targeted by police and by an increasing number of dog thieves who
steal dogs when being walked for the fur and food trade. Cats should be kept
indoors at all times as there is an increasing amount of poisoning and again,
stealing for the fur and food trade.

Many breeders/pet
stores get their animals from cruel puppy/kitty
farms where the animals are torn away
from their mother before they are fully
weaned. Just as in the pet markets, the
majority of animals in pet
here are weak and sick, although they might
be fattened up or pumped with
antibiotics to give the
impression
of being healthy.
Most stores/markets don’t
have any return policy and once you walk
out of the market you are on your own.
And what about support if you have any
questions or problems with your new pet?
You might arrive home and three weeks later,
you have a near-dead animal in your possession.
And don’t think the store will take
it back either.
At SCAA, we have heard many
horrific stories about purchases that have
ended tragically. Just because there is
a storefront, it doesn’t mean that
pet stores are much better than the pet

inception in March 2005, SCAA has adopted
out nearly 150 animals, with ALL receiving
medical care from PAW Veterinarian Clinic
and warnings issued to loving adopting
parents if the animal has medical problems.
To date, NOT ONE animal has been returned
(except due to allergies!) for medical
reasons and our absolute policy is that
if for any reason an adoption does not
work out, we will welcome back our beloved

is our only concern and our
members know this.
You’re getting
more for your money if you get a mixed
breed. Based on the well-established principle
of “hybrid vigor,” a mixed-breed
animal is likely to live longer and cost
less in vet bills than a pure breed. Many
purebred dogs are prone to developing health
problems ranging from breathing
difficulties to hip dysplasia to an enlarged heart.
You get just as much love
(if not more). An adopted pet is every
bit as loving, intelligent and loyal as
a purchased pet, even if you get an adult
or older animal.
