RE: The Idea Of Having A Pet Monkey; Should People Have One?

in #steemstem6 years ago

Chimpanzees, in particular, scare me. As you said, they can have a good relationship with the owner when properly trained. I don’t know too much about their nature, but do you think we can ever trust them completely around other people? A dog can be trained that all humans are above it in the hierarchy, so we can trust it not to attack anyone. Do you think this is possible with a chimpanzee?

Sort:  

Well, depends on its age. When it still an infants or less than 13 years of age, it should be fine. Beyond that, there might be some risks of getting people faces scratch off.

Yeah I think a lot of the chimps we see ‘acting’ on TV are very young
