I agree with you 100 percent! I own a White Faced Capuchin Monkey, and also a breeder Pair of Cotton top tamarin moneys. I have paid over 8000 for my capuchin, and over 10,000 for my pair of cotton tops...why in the world would I pay that much money for TERRIBLE animals!? lol
My Capuchin only play bites, and my Cotton tops have NEVER bitten anyone (including myself). The cotton tops are 6 years old and are still as gentle and friendly as ever. My Capuchin does wear diapers, clothes, and a leash and has never taken them off. Monkeys are a big responsibility and I would never reccomend them to just anyone, but for me they are the perfect pets. They are also NOT dirty and have never thrown feces as some people say monkeys do. Thank you for posting this, and I hope some of the primate bashers will leave.
Thanks again

Jacob-
