Would you use a monkey helper (details inside)?

Asked by SuperMouse (30845points) July 16th, 2013

I saw this post on another site soliciting members of the site to apply for their own service monkey. I love the concept of service animals, which are usually dogs my husband had a service dog for years and years, but I wonder about using monkeys – which are still wild animals. The website extolls the virtues of service monkeys, but I am not sure if I would be willing to have a monkey in the house, especially in light of stories like this. (Yes, I know that was a chimpanzee not a capuchin monkey).

If you needed a service animal, would you feel comfortable having a service monkey? I am especially interested in hearing from people with experience working with animals.
