Having an animals teeth removed. Now THAT’S trust.

Trusting a pet monkey is stupid.

Experts: Pet capuchins can turn on their owners

I dunno - they look pretty loyal to me.

There was a sci fi movie decades ago about an experimental aide Monkey to a quad guy.

Didnt go well.

As a care giver over decades there are not to many humans I entrust my sons care too, I sure in the heck/hell never had to think twice about the whole monkey assist to quad idea.

And as the article stated the monkey teethe had to be removed to do his assist job?

Well there is a huge not a good idea clue there folks.

Sounds like a Socialist Utopia idea of a program.

I use to say (decades ago before green ect was the in thing) you can get 20 people to show up and move/hug/live in a tree to save the enviroment but not one of those same damn people would show up out of human compassion and volenteer to care for someone severly disabled.

That is just creepy.

What she said.

I dunno.

The guy in the middle’s kinda iffy looking.

[and why hasn’t Chet reported on this terrifying monkey threat?]

Give them all amnesty and register them as DemocRATS.

Deathmatch: Pit Bull vs Capuchin (scary stuff!)

1. The Rally Monkey frowns upon your shenanigans.

2. Some days you spank the monkey…some days the monkey spanks you.

[Salamander]

I’d bet on the Capuchin.

My friend was a animal caregiver at the National Zoo and she HATED dealing with all of the monkeys.

She -really- doesn’t like Capuchins.

I think ACORN already did that.

Some primates have been DE-evolving.

On those special days that you feel discipline is called for, you'll need one of these.

[Slings and Arrows]

You’re right.

I think that’s a DUmmie who stole his mother’s bathrobe and snuck in.

Don’t worry, I fix.

I sense a trend developing:

This may necessitate the development of yet another “attack” ping list.

(Now, where should we post the news of these attacks so as to raise awareness of the “Monkey/Ape threat looming in our midst? Hmmmmm.....)
