edIt is not advisable to buy a monkey, as monkeys are wild animals and have specific needs that are difficult to meet properly in a domesticated environment. Owners must also secure special permits to keep them in some areas, as monkeys are considered exotic animals.
Additionally, many species of monkeys are endangered or at risk of becoming endangered, meaning that in some cases it is illegal to purchase them. For these reasons, it is better to leave monkeys in their natural habitats.
