**It is important to note that it is illegal to purchase a monkey in many states and countries. For those living in the United States, please check your local state laws and regulations before attempting to buy a monkey, as many states such as California, Hawaii and Washington have animal cruelty laws banning the sale, ownership and abuse of primates.
For those living outside of the United States, please check your local laws and regulations as well as the country of origin of the monkey, as many countries also have animal cruelty laws that ban the sale, ownership and abuse of primates. **
