You would assume that with all the diseases they carry, that alone would make people think twice before owning one. The first words out of the owners mouth after getting bit or attacked is " I wonder what happened " or " they never bit me before". I'm going to assume they forgot to read the part where it says, "When monkeys reach puberty, experts warn that they will become extremely aggressive and unpredictable" And yet with all those warnings coming from professionals, there they are making family videos with their children. What happened to your neighbors monkey? Did he/she have to get rid of it?

These monkeys will defend their children and any other monkeys babies to the death. They will nurse and stay by and take care of their babies no matter what. I've watched countless garbage ass people neglect their children, choose drugs over them, hell I've seen people sell their children . Think about what you are even saying.

That’s because the monkeys are in a TOURIST HOTSPOT. You ignorantly blaming the cameramen, is silly. In all reality, the tourists, THE MONKS, visitors and the cameramen are ALL to blame. People specifically go to these parks to see and feed the monkeys. Of course, “reporting them on KZbin” doesn’t do any good. It’s laughable that you thought it would. KZbin does NOT control the Asian government and Asian people, have a right to post videos on KZbin too. Regardless, if you think they should or should not. If you don’t like a channel, don’t support them by watching it. It’s pretty simple really. One thing is for absolute certain, common sense isn’t very common these days. 🤦🏾‍♀️

So then now people have mini cows, goats, chickens, and donkeys in their homes. Monkeys have been pets since the 8th century. It’s a lifetime commitment and people who think it’s easy shouldn’t get one. This isn’t for the faint hearted and short fused. It’s like having a toddler for 30 years.

How do you domesticate an animal? You keep it under your control for repeated generations. And I hate to tell you, but their are bloodlines that are absolutely domesticated

[@delite8003]

Nancy Testani I agree with you. They are wild and it eventually comes out. I would not put up with all the biting, they stink so bad no matter how much you wash them & around puberty they tend to become aggressive. You can't keep them inside your home locked up in cages by themselves. They aren't meant to be kept in a solitary environment & much stronger than humans which makes them hard to control. I love big cats but I would not even think about it. It's selfish to keep a wild animal from the way they were meant to live. People most of the time don't conform to the right diet either. Some monkeys have a very long life span, so who would be crazy enough to take that on besides a sanctuary or rescue. I wouldn't take on the responsibility of having a monkey get loose and hurt or even kill someone. There are Insurance Companies that won't insure people with a pet monkey either. They are considered dangerous!

[@delite8003]

Monkeys stink. Who in the world wants to diaper these things, clean feces out of their butt and their hair. This is for the entire time you own them. Oh no! They are nasty as a pet, period. Once they hit puberty, that's when they get aggressive and it's an awful responsibility. A couple had a grown one that became aggressive where he could no longer get him out of his cage. He stated Insurance Company he had which was State Farm would not insure his house/property. They told him even though he kept his monkey in a steel cage they were too dangerous for them to ìnsure. I would never carry such a liability.

[@janiceken5639]

Not everyone but you and most others. Some in other countries have kept monkeys as working pets for generations. They keep them in the climate they are accustomed to and feed them food they would naturally eat. I'm not talking about KZbinrs but people that don't bother making video clips. The west has probably done more damage using these monkeys for experimentation for research. Even the KZbinrs are using western services and mostly making money from people in the west that have enough free time to watch those videos. Of course we only want to look at the world through our eyes and force everyone else to do the same. The truth is that we're the damn problem and always have been.

[@John_Weiss]

The most famous case, Travis the Chimp, was caused by incorrect drug use. Let me explain. Travis was suffering from all of the usual psychological problems of being kept in captivity … by himself, with no others or his kind. So he was already depressed and stressed. His owner decided to give him something to clean him down - Xanax. Slight Problem: in _humans,_ Xanax an anti-anxiety sedative. But in chimps, Xanax is an hallucinogen. Instead of calming Travis, he was a stressed chimp on the equivalent of a bad acid trip. Which is why he freaked out and attacked that woman.

Those monkeys kept to scale trees in order to pick coconuts. . . .to me. . . .are like working dogs. They seem to be well looked after. A few, very few, owners can afford to keep monkeys and they do it well. I don't want to steal their joy and pleasure. Live, and let live. There are elephants, water buffalo, parrots, tigers, snakes, crocodiles, turtles, aquarium fish, etc, etc, etc kept to do work, to amuse or to provide companionship.

I don't have a monkey! But if some one is responsible and knows how to take care of them and give them the love and attention they need. I have not right to stop them and neither do you. Just because their are people out there abusing these monkeys that doesn't give you the right to stop those who don't abuse them from having one. That's no different from stopping people from adopting children. Because some people abuse their own children, let alone an adopted one. Abuse happens with animals and humans. All you have to do is enforce laws already in place to stop the abuse. But that's not going to get read of the abuse. Criminal 's ignore the law. But the answer is not turning everyone into a Criminal.

@@traceydeviney I agree but it needs to be legal. I can’t help but feel if we could live together perhaps there would be a higher regard for the animals. And they could really be a help to the handicapped and elderly. All efforts to domesticate have bred mentally disturbed animals. It’s the separation from mom, caging and lack of community that causing the problem. I would love to see domestication as a possibility. With few exceptions, it’s just not.

It seemed more humane than our official slaughter process in the UK. They also ate every last bit.

I disagree not if you get them when they are little babies you can train them and get their shots from the vet😊

[@Numb217]

Incorrect. Once they reach sexual maturity they can and will become aggressive. You will have to have a sturdy cage to keep it in. That is why sanctuaries are full. Also, they are not happy as babies in clothing & diapers and they are not supposed to walk on two legs. This is animal cruelty. They are not bipedal animals and it hurts their spine. Diapers displace their hips. Clothing keeps them from grooming which is a psychological necessity. You would be the one needing shots as monkeys carry the B virus and if scratched or bitten it is possible it will transmit to you.

Depends on the type of monkeys you keep as a pet. The key is to get a small monkey that remains small. Get it as a baby so it grows up knowing you as their parental figure and provider, have plenty of income for various expenses. Show your pet monkey plenty of love and care and appropriate discipline and you'll be good to go. ❤

Omg half the stuff in this video is wrong. There are absolutely domesticated monkeys, particularly macaques, capuchins and marmosets. Obviously not all of them are, but domestication comes from multiple generations of a bloodline being kept as pets. And the broad term monkey being a endangered species is nonsense. That's like saying dogs are endangered bc one subspecies is super rare

Would you say lions, tigers, and wolfs are completely domesticated just because they've been kept in someone's house? It takes about 27,000 years for an animal to become domesticated, not a few generations. While it's true that people have had monkeys for a few thousand years. the monkeys are killed when

Oh, yes, Lord of Reason, you are so full of lies. Commenting on channels how they are domesticated shows you've never actually had any monkeys at all like I've read a hundred times🙄

WRONG!!! THEY ARE WILD ANIMALS. PEOPLE HAVE TRAINED THEM, NOT DOMESTICATED THEM! Those are two different things, completely. They were never intended as pets, their instincts have not been domesticated. They can still turn on you. Most places, they are illegal. FOR A REASON. There is nothing to validate ownership, none of your argument is correct. You can not twist it to fit. Stop trying to argue it. You are spreading misinformation. Period.

They are respectable animals, which are in need of a natural environment to clumb, jump and live their life and not being dressed, bathed and fed luke a toddler, neither from a diasabled nor from a non-disabled person.

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying having pet monkeys, but it's important to note that while some people may choose to keep monkeys as pets, it's not a good idea for most people. Monkeys require specialized care and can pose health and safety risks, both to themselves and their owners. So, before getting a pet monkey, it's important to do thorough research and consider whether it's a good fit for your lifestyle and living situation. In the meantime, feel free to check out some of our other videos!
