Sad ending for a fun animal.
I love monkeys, but here in Venezuela people do not trust monkeys. They fear them because they are either too naughty, which they can be, or they are afraid of diseases caused by them.
Even though we have plenty of forest and a great variety of monkeys, they are rare as pets. It is actually illegal to trade them or own them in captivity.
I have memories of a monkey that was kept in a cage at a lady who lived on the way to school. Sipriana, was the lady's name. Every kid would give the monkey somethign to eat. He was always hungry. He could be fun most times, but he was also a lustful and shameless bastard, so often times you'd see concerned mothers scolding their small daughters to stay away from that indicent animal. And they declaired war at Sipriana to keep that monkey away from kids' eyes.
The moneky died of old age.
No kid that I know was corrupted by his lustful ways. TV, alcohol and drugs did more harm.
It is true because it will be that the monkeys have that lustful behavior 🤔
They are cute, but should not be held captive as pets, almost always have it chained, to have a pet like that. @hlezama
