Do Need A License To Own A Monkey?

Most local ordinances outlaw "exotic animals". They don't specifically name monkeys but since the laws are vague it can easily be interpreted however they want. Your best bet is to go to your local police department, county sheriff and highway patrol to see if there are any specific ordinances applicable to you. I really don't recommend it though, especially in light of the recent incident with the chimpanzee. They may be cute, but they're still wild animals and unless you're a professional trainer you need to just reserve your love of monkeys and apes to the zoo.

I am not certain of this answer, but I believe that owning a monkey is illegal in the United States.  You can find out more about this topic by contacting your local zoo or pet store.

Yes, just like you need a license to own a bear or Mountain lion, Monkeys may be small but they are also wild.

Yes it is very illegal in the u.s but you can in the u.k and in ireland

Do you REALLY have that much time, money, patience? They need so much time to make sure that they are stable. They are animals that usually revert back into their wild nature.

Yes you do. It is illegal in the U.S. But i think you can own one with a license in the U.K.
