It has come to this.

Ok so I joined one of his facebook pages. What does this say? First of all how did these people get a monkey? Where did they get that coat? Does he have a social insurance number? How come he is not potty trained yet? Enquiring minds want to know.




He sure did get around while he was in T.O.

The monkey actually has a full wardrobe, he is loved by his family and I think its ashame they took him away. only 10% of towns in Canada have a ban against exotic animals and his "mother" said she is willing to move where its legal as long as she gets him back.
Poor guy must be so stressed wondering what is happening and where his family is.

I saw on the news, she used to bring him to work, she works in a lawyers office and not one lawyer or client ever said anything to her, she never hid him, he went with her everywhere. There is some cute video on CityNews about the monkey and his home life etc.

I just love him!!

He's from here I think?

i agree vee they interviewed who has him on the radio today and they said he will remain there until the end of his life but that yes he has been stressed out and scared poor buddy!

He's from here I think?

I believe so, he was born in MTL but he lived in the GTA I think...

[VeeVee]

He was obviously well taken care of, sheesh he has a better winter coat then some ppl lol
It was so cute, in one home video he had overalls on hahaha

Problem is he will grow up to be this. Time and time again when people adopt exotics they don't look further than the end of their nose. Take the problem with the burmese python in Florida where it is now responsible for a chaotic imbalance in nature and the extinction of many local species of birds and small mammals.

We may laugh now but in the end hopefully Darwin will be able to integrate with his own kind and be happy.

oh...I thought he was the type of monkey that stayed small always?

Macaques only get to about 20 - 25lbs, so they aren't huge like chimps (150lbs).

Remember monkey that ripped that ladies face off.I think it belongs at an animal sanctuary since it can't live in the wild.

A 25 lb monkey is probably as strong as a grown man though and he has big teeth lol.

Poor thing must have been terrified when it got out of the car though
