I know lots of people want to be parents and either cannot conceive of cannot afford to adopt, but come on - a monkey is not a baby! And, similar to the comment above - monkeys should be free to be monkeys. They aren't like cats and dogs that have been domesticated over thousands of years! Also, the folks featured on the show are all of questionable mental stability - just watch for yourself, if you can stomach it! wow, people are really nuts.

There was a part in this show were this young couple went to pick up a baby money from a "breeder". They when into a room where there was a bunch of monkeys cadged, one of them whom was the baby's mother, was grabbing for her baby, as this lady was holding it. They were all laughing at the mother monkey as if it was a big joke. Monkeys have deep bonds with their babies. I saw another program on the animal planet, and this one monkey’s baby was killed by a cheetah. The mom monkey carried her lifeless baby’s body around for 3 days! Moms need their babies, and babies need their mom’s. It is legal to steal a newborn monkey in some states, but still unmoral in every way possible. They claim to love these monkeys as their own, but steal them from their mother's at such a young age. From what I've heard these people have issues, they need some good meds, not a monkey. These beautiful social creatures should be free with other monkeys. How is this even legal? It needs to be stopped. I saw this on TLC and was very disturbed by it.
