So i was watching one of the ace ventura movies today and noticed his hand side kick which is a capuchin monkey. This got me thinking how sweet would it be to have a capuchin monkey? They are very smart and can learn lots of things. i was researching the laws on owning them and couldn't really find a straight answer. I just wanted to see if anybody on NS knew. I live in pennsylvania by the way because the states have different exotic pet laws. granted i wouldn't be able to have a monkey for around 3 years(planned college gradation) i just wanted to see what people thought of this and if anybody had any info. thanks for your time

I've heard stories from people the own a monkey or who have relatives that own a monkey that made me never ever want one. They bite, smell bad, break shit etc. On the other hand, you own a monkey, how fuckin' cool is that?
