1 x 60 minutes for Channel 4 'My Monkey Baby' examines the extraordinary relationships that some American couples have with their monkeys -- they raise them as though they were their own children.
"If some one calls her a money, I'll throw a fit" Wat? If I had a human daughter I wouldn't be mad if some one called her a human. These people are crazy.
@@katyscarlett8823 If his: "She is my baby girl... if I hear somebody call her a monkey I throw a fit. She is my daugther 100%" Didn't already convince you about that fact
okay, i understand having a pet monkey, i understand considering a pet as family, but to delude yourself into thinking it's not only the same as a human, but flat-out your *child*? these people need help.
So many poor orphans out there who would love to be in a happy home getting the love these wild animals get that they are deprived of!! Wouldn't it be far more rewarding to give a human child a home than an animal that belongs in the wild ??? Time , energy and love towards a child and giving them a new start in life with love around them would be far more rewarding and many blessings in it too. Worlds gone topsy-turvy 🤪
I completely agree!! As an orphan and a child of adoption myself this hurts my heart so much. There are so many children who would this kind of affection and care but it's wasted on these horrid monkeys that these crazy people won't even have for 5 years. Nobody keeps these monkeys past puberty. These people, especially the young couple are in for a rude awakening
I agree with this partially, but the ones my heart breaks over on seeing these videos are homeless animals in shelters. Real pets who will love you given the chance. These filthy, ugly monkeys do not seem to love their owners AT ALL and once old enough usually thank them with violence. And though I do feel bad for kids who are orphans and wish they all had homes, I still believe that a person's best bet for actual, pure love is a shelter pet. From what I've experienced of humanity, people do not love. They use, they lie, they cheat, and they're getting to the point of losing any kind of empathy whatsoever. When you go through life as the fat, ugly girl who everyone laughs at and bullies, and who people befriend only to use and dispose of, you learn the ugly side of human nature. And it's uglier than my face (almost, anyway). Most of the genuine love I've received in my life - and nearly all of it - has been from pets. This is why it kills me that they're stuck in cages and euthanized while these things get spoiled.
People adopt wild animals to feel love by someone or because it's cute or because it's fashion. And if the animal becomes dangerous they go to the vet and kill them and say we had no choice. Yes you had. The choice of leaving wild animals where they belong: WILDLIFE.
When a person gets a pet because of what the pet can do for them or what the pet can bring into their lives, it us a sign of a very selfish person. You should never get a pet unless it is because of what you feel YOU can offer THEM. Not the other way around.
I really had to laugh at the young couple with their “precious little girl” monkey. They are thinking this is a really cute, little monkey and they probably thought it was a capuchin. They didn't even realize there are different kinds of monkeys. When I saw the baby I could only think “oh no - OMG no! that looks like a macaque baby!” and when the breeder took the couple back into that grimy cage area and proudly said this is the momma and daddy - I saw - yes those are macaques - oh boy, they have no idea what their ‘precious little girl’ is gonna grow into. Serves them right I think.
@@karaalsup23 - Nowhere near as much crack as you apparently smoke. Damn. Go do some research on macaques. Check out the numerous videos on TH-cam and see just what kind of monkey they are when they become yearlings and then come into sexual maturity.
Depends on the breed, sex, and living conditions but I don't think primates of any kind should be kept as pets regardless of the potential for violence
@@RealUrd what's the problem with that? let people be happy in their own way, the world would be much better, if each person took care of their life! 🙄
I'd really love to watch this documentary in its entirety. Seeing this was uploaded 10 years ago I'd also love to see an update. For some reason something tells me they don't have the monkeys anymore.
There are some people who step up to the responsibility bringing a primate into your family requires, Gaitlyn Rae(TH-cam channel, capuchin), and Kiala Capuchin have unconditionally dedicated parent/families, but 98% of the people who purchase a monkey to live in their home find it quite regrettable
I don't doubt that the couple with the monkey in a dress love her, but the fact that they (or someone) had her teeth removed to prevent serious bite wounds says a LOT about what kinds of pets monkeys make.
Wrong..it's called ignorance which I see many people that troll primate videos are!! Have you or do you know anyone that has a monkey or a primate rescue? They are the sweetest coolest and smartest primates! When people remove their teeth it's because they are ignorant humans. Same as people that force them to bipedal walk. Pure ignorance. Black caps, long tailed java macaques, vervets, green monkeys, pigtails, all are awesome primates. Some monkeys are abandoned by Mother. Their are reasons babies end up In human hands and hopefully they end up with humans that are not ignorant as hell. That's when 🐒 get abused!
My first thoughts were, "Oh FFS, how were these little babies obtained in the first place? What tragedy have they already experienced, so these people could turn them into living (for a little while, at least) dolls? What about their real mothers, who wouldn't have given up their babies willingly. Human arrogance. Human callousness. The only time it makes sense to keep a monkey as a "pet" is when it's in genuine need of rescuing. Even then, they should be taken to a sanctuary first, if available. If not, I'd hope those taking in a rescue have its best interests at heart, do their research, follow through on that research, all with the ultimate goal of rehabilitating the monkey and safely returning him/her to as natural of a setting as possible.
I can just about guarantee that all these monkeys are no longer with these seriously deranged people. It is absolutely disgusting that people who are nowhere near qualified to care for a human baby attempt to care for a monkey with zero experience with primates. These are living creatures who are not playthings. That poor white faced capuchin had all her teeth pulled just to be some creepy people’s pet.
I don’t even think humans should intervene at all. Life with humans, good intentions or not, is confusing for monkeys. Always let their troop sort them out. If the infant is meant to live, another female will adopt it. Nature is always best when left alone.
@@hillary_was_here yes the cruelty never ends. They pull out the teeth because these animals use their teeth to protect themselves and to forage. Such an injustice to take the animal out of it natural habitats
If you love them, find a good sanctuary or rehab facility for monkeys and give it to them. They will be able to climb trees and live in a group like monkeys are suppose to.
What ever happened to adopting HUMAN BABIES???!! want a child that never grows up? adopt a human child with a disability where they'll stay that way. these people are sick.
I watched like 15 minutes of this on Netflix and had to shut it off. These people are all delusional and careless. One woman thinks her monkey might have eaten her thyroid meds so she does what any logical person would do, she calls a Psychic hotline. The other feeds hers everything and anything nice way to kill your "baby". Here have some diabetes. The younger couple actually takes their new "baby" to see the mom before they leave with her. So sad to see her real mom going nuts over her baby. These people I swear.
_Simians (Excluding humans) love to climb and explore the world around them, and they really dislike to be inside a small house._ _They don't behave like toddlers when they grow up - They actually have concepts of life, death, survival, attacking, defending, battling, and sexuality._
Just what the world needs, a bunch of ignorant people supporting poaching and the black market for their own desires. Exotic animals are not pets or children. Leave them in the wild!
Cate Racoma uhhhh you don't adopt a wild animal. You call the proper authorities to have it picked up and cared for by professionals. I would call my local zoo.
When their ball sacks and scalps get ripped of by their sweet precious wild animal,maybe they shall learn. Heck,their are idiots walking around full blown wolves in their homes.
Couldn't agree more mankind should show true love and like a wild flower let it grow and flourish but instead we pluck them from natural life and morph theirs into a conformety of breaking them down into trained athand subjects. But truth is humans are too selfish and there is no wildlife for them to go back to. Harboring and treating them like children is the least we can do for them
I think that exotic animals can live with humans as long as no harm comes to either and both are happy. People that think animals have to be in the wild because "That's where they belong" just seems silly to me. Btw I'm buying a Fennec Fox. I'm so excited! =P
Cary Miller it's not silly, and that's not people spouting off a garbage phrase. Exotic animals are discouraged and in some cases illegal because it isn't healthy for the animal in question. When a puppy grows up it will still be an easily manageable animal because dogs have been domesticated a process that took a very long time. When that adorable baby monkey grows up and becomes sexually mature most of the time they turn aggressive. They're wild animals and that wild nature isn't something that goes away over the course of a single generation. Dogs and the like have been tamed for generations, domestication isn't a process that happens in a single generation. it is absolutely bad for the monkey in question to be kept as a pet and may prove hazardous to your own health. Many of them carry diseases and injure their owners. They will become destructive and tear your house apart. They can't be toilet trained and you have to clean up the mess. Many will end up with various neuroses and will demand your constant attention limiting your social life and ability to leave the house for too long. Monkeys are highly social animals, they need a troupe and that environment is nigh impossible to simulate if they're kept as a pet. In no way is this arrangement good for the monkey or the owner and there's a reason why most are given up when they get too old and unmanageable. Keeping a monkey as a pet is a HORRIBLE idea on every conceivable level and have to realize that just because they want an adorable little monkey it is in no way healthy for them or the animal in question.
Cary Miller haha or we should be in caves in the wild right now eh =p ? ..I get your point if it didn't hurt anybody or disturb the ecosystem then harm is only with opinionated and theoretical concerns. But a lot of pets are domesticated from breeding so they are "less aggressive" or whatever ..It really depends on what animal your getting and if you can trust no harm will come from keeping it as a pet to both people and all living things concern ..if there's no suffering it's "OK" but not necessary though ..I think a lot of wild animals may in theory be happier as pets because they aren't fighting for their life but most of these animals are complicated to keep so therefore are less happy if they are with an owner he doesn't get their needs...They can also be aggressive seeing they have not been bred so can have mood swings even if they love their owner. But pet's of all kinds originated from the wild anyway.....If somebody was 100 percent sure they weren't causing harm then exotic animals are like striped dogs but not everyone can raise a wild animal right so for both the owner and the "pets" sake it's something to research into ..but humans have so many pets, exotic pets do they necessarily make "better" pets than a loyal dog..? well good luck with your fox I hope it is in well researched hands =p
Oh yes, the monkey real mothers are sad and traumatized. Now they don’t have anyone to beat, bite, and torture on a daily basis!! The real abuse comes from their mothers. No other animals on the planet treat their young this way!!
Gregory Carlson True, There is absolutely no other species on the planet that treat their young the way these disgusting creatures do. There are videos out there that show different mothers being cornered and then literally throwing their baby into the arms of a predator in order to save their own neck. It’s insidious and appalling.
John Mark Smith Thanks for the reply. I have no doubt there are vids showing what you mentioned and worse. There are numerous ones on these very TH-cam channels where the mothers violently rip food out of the mouths of the babies and stuff it into their own mouths. I’d like someone to show me a dog, cat, horse, etc. who does that!! It is, as you say, truly appalling. Keep spreading the truth about these disgusting creatures. Happy New Year to you and yours!
@@gregorycarlson6632 However, The reason human s eventually dump their "babies" is because they can no longer handle them. Mother monkeys know that their babies are MONKEYS and discipline them according to the way MONKEYS are. Humans let them have their own way and thusly end up with an ANIMAL they can't do anything with.
Screaming Tima but not nearly in same numbers and it definitely wasn't justified by considering them inferior to other races. You ignorant fucking fuck.
+Nikola Maticki bro hes right 1.5 million white people were slaves to many people, brown and black people stormed britan and took white people even making white females sex slaves, thats pretty messed up dude, another fact only about 2 % of people in the usa had black slaves therefor making the number for white slaves higher, whites we misstreaded before blacks, but white people got over it, black PEOPLE STILL LIVE IN THE PAST
Something that makes me mad wit these "My monkey is my child" folk. The people who have real kids seem to think more of the monkey than the kid. Stories where the monkey bit one of the children and the parents made excuses for the monkey or blamed the kid. I love animals and connect with them better than people BUT I don't see how parents could allow the animal to hurt the children. The monkeys ARE smart - smart enough to realize "mom and dad" favor *them* and the can bite whoever they want whenever they want. Monkey bites their own child and mom scolds the child for causing it. Monkey bites neighbors child, mom explains to neighbor that it had to be *their kids* fault. Neighbors call the cops who shoot the monkey as a dangerous animal.
Lizards, snakes and monkeys should not be stolen from the wild and it’s honestly abuse that they are giving the monkeys cakes and shit because that is VERY unhealthy for them
Odds are, the mother was murdered to get the baby. Regardless, even if the mother IS still alive, how is anyone ever going to find her to reunite them?
actually Robin your greatly mistaken... monkeys flourish in homes... they live double their life span than they would in the wild, they live healthier lives, have less stress and their social skills are well... most who have pet monkeys have more than one, heck I know some who have 16 monkeys.... in one house.... Robin, when you take your Rxs or buy drugs at the store, does the fact a monkey in a lab as tested on for that product and tortured and killed for YOUR meds stop you from taking your meds or vaccines??? I am betting not.
They don't necessarily. They can, though. I'm not sure monkeys make good pets. They aren't really domesticated like cats or dogs. I don't know how cats and dogs become like this, but they know they rely on humans and are in turn nice to them and hang around them. Monkeys aren't like this. If you raise a monkey from a young age they will become somewhat like this, but not nearly as much as cats or dogs. I do not think monkeys should be anyone's pet unless that person is very well trained..
I mean yes they are cute but what happens when they get older and are no longer a cute little baby monkey? I heard a story of a couple that had a pigtail macaque and when it got older anyone that came to the house to visit the monkey would attack the person and bite and scratch the person. Eventually they got rid of her.
And what exactly would you do with a monkey? Keep it in a glass container like you keep a snake? Or inside a cage? They're dressed up for a reason, to not shit and piss all over the place. And people take monkeys around because you can just leave it at home, or lock it up in the dark leaving it for days not having to worry about it like you can do with a snake. Monkeys are not regular pets, they take as much devotion and attention as children.
You're not getting the point here, he's saying the people adopt monkeys at their "own" human baby replacement instead of a real baby. You're saying people adopt cats as replacement for babies. Cats are adopted as pets, not substitutes.
Thank you for saying this. If someone rescues a monkey its a different story. But when they buy them from pet mills or monkey mills then its supporting torture. Same with puppy mills. People don't buy animals who come from any form of breeding institution. Rescue them from shelters or rescue an orphaned animal in the wild. Never hunt animals. Hunters cause baby animals to lose their mothers and this is torture.
Remember the woman who lost her face? Chimp attack by one who was raised from a baby! The comment previous also indicated the removal of canine teeth...that pretty well says it was done as a precaution against biting! Despite their human-like behavior, they are wild and have a great amount of strength. Sadly, people what to call them babies.
That animal cannot possibly live up to those types of expectations. Completely unfair position an situation for them to be in. A person who gets a pet for what the animal can give them instead of for what they can offer the animal , including acceptable habitat for its species, should not HAVE the animal. That's what causes animal hoarding. No hoarder gets an animal to make the animal's lives better only to fill some void inside them. This is a related issue. When they grow up, you will wish you hadn't done it.
You missed the point. Completely. Try reading it again. I am making a connection between the twi problems. BOTH involves selfishness. Both involve consideration of the person's needs instead of what is best for the animal. Your a breeder. Your only investment in this conversation is to protect you flow of income. Your opinion is selfish based, worse than anyone else's problem I was refering to. You can throw numbers and I can throw them right back. I don't follow "PETA". I think those people are dangerous. They'll kill people to save animals. I listen to people like Jane Goodall who has spent her life studying the animals behaviors and needs. I have no money to gain by making this statement. Throwing out made up statistics to validate your claims is bullshit. You just don't want to lose business. These people want to put a heavy emotional burden on an animal and when the animal isn't capable of filling their needs, they will become abusive, neglectful or simply give the animal up because they "can't handle it".
monkeys actually live twice as long in captivity then in the wild, nothing wrong with having monkeys as a pet, a monkey can be domesticated just as well as a dog or cat.
I think people breed domesticated monkeys these days...some are trained for disabled people ...but I get what your trying to say ..I think though these monkeys are happier than wild monkeys ...I know it could be seen as "greedy" to add more pets to the list..we turned wolfs into dogs and keep exotic birds with no shocks but I mean if you can do so without removing animals from the wild or mixing things up and care for them...what's the problem...some dog owners are terrible compared to a lot of monkey owners ...besides they help disabled people..like dogs ...and should we as humans not be in the wild too xD in caves and such ..there are bigger problems ..these monkeys are lucky to be loved and fed
No one should have wild animals as pets. Its not right! Way too many wild "pets" become abused or abandoned because they don't turn out to be the cuddly little animals their "owners" thought they'd be. It needs to be ILLEGAL.
I live in the U.S. and I've never seen one person raising a monkey, with the exception of a helper monkey I saw once. ENGLAND WHY ARE YOU MAKING UP SHIT ABOUT US? These people are creepy.
I think it’s weird. A monkey shouldn’t be treated as another “child.” That’s wrong. A pet at the max, but say it’s your daughter or son? What really makes it even weirder is when some of these adults want a monkey because it’s like a child that NEVER leaves them.
“ so cute” yeah..wait til it hits puberty and bites ppl and none of the family or friends don’t drop by anymore because their scared of “sweetie pie” … just a matter of time
This is so damn irresponsible. Why give these horribly misguided people a platform? Monkeys aren’t babies that won’t grow up. The problem is that they do grow up, and will be horribly maladjusted from being humanized. Adult monkeys want to be adult monkeys, not some old lady’s forever baby. Baby monkeys are cute, but incredibly demanding and a human will always be a poor substitute for its real mother. Just get a dog or a cat. Dogs have evolved alongside humans and thrive as members of a human family. Monkeys are intelligent wild animals, and they want to live monkey lives.
Monkeys are not pets, dressing them in clothing is not anything a normal wild animal would have... There is a difference between a baby and a baby MONKEY. People need to know that
You are not helping these monkeys. It's a million dollars business and these monkeys are watching there mothers being clubbed to death right after there births by poachers. Whatever story you have been told up to you receiving these monkeys is 100 percent bull....Feeding them ( by the way human food is not good for monkeys) and dressing them up in doll clothes is just sickening. You think those monkeys are happy? There not happy. They are just making a situation that is out of there control bearable as possible for them. All of you taking part in this ridiculous behavior should go to jail. You are robbing these monkeys of the life they were meant to have. They don't need you to take care of them. They need a whole tribe to develop normally and all of you who keep telling these people they are good people and how much they do for these adorable poor orphaned monkeys...well u are idiots... your comments keep these abusers active and you make them think what they are doing is okay.... Shame on all of you!
Yeah, they’re adorable when they are baby’s, not when they get big and go through puberty. And diaper changing for over 20 years? Their diapers are full all the time with poop the size of humans. No thank you. And forget about a life or going anywhere. You have to have a babysitter that knows the monkey from when it was a baby, they don’t trust outsiders. Also you have to have an exotic vet and they are hard to find. Not to mention they will bite or attack you, not a matter of if, it’s when.
I watched the whole documentary and it's so cruel to take the baby monkeys from their mothers at a couple of weeks old. The mothers live in boring cages like kennels and seem very agitated. It's bloody cruel and unnatural but typical of selfish Americans who want everything for themselves. Other countries ban keeping wild animals as it's cruel but not the U.S. where everything is done to excess and selfishness reigns.
These people are insane. I'm not saying that to be a smartass. These people seriously need help. Monkeys are not surrogate children. There are children all over the world that need homes. Being an orphan and a child of adoption myself, this entire monkey adopting scenario affects me deeply and saddens me. These people want a baby to care for so badly and they opt to get a freaking monkey. An overpopulated and pest of an animal that harbors all kinds of communicable diseases. These people, especially the young couple are in for one hell a rude awakening. When their precious little goblin hits puberty and starts to bite and wreck their house and will tear its diaper off their attitudes will be much different and will end up hating it. Most of these idiot monkey owners do nothing but spoil and coddle their monkeys and never discipline it or make it mind and set a hierarchy. It's absolutely sickening to see the younger couple baby talk their monkey and dressing it in baby clothes and pushing it around in a damn stroller. My God that's embarrassing and pathetic. There are so many children who would love that kind of affection and care and here it is wasted on nasty monkeys who don't love their owners the way they love them. The owner is nothing but a food source to them. It's not love. It's a territorial thing and they rely on them. What a freakshow.....
9 years ago....I would love to know what happened now and I'll give mt input.....the younger couple divorced when one woke up....the older couple both died and noone knows what happened to the 🐒......and who knows what happened to the middle aged couple but the monkey is not with them no more
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who finds this digusting. If you're gonna keep a monkey respect it's nature, don't make him wear stupid dresses not even a child would want and most importantly DON'T REMOVE IT'S TEETH you egotistical cruel psychos
Capuchins are great pets if you know what your doing. I have two capuchins, 14 years old and 8 years old. Neither one has gotten aggressive or bitten anyone. They were hyper of course (as all young animals are). But they grow up the way you raise them. Problem is, most people baby them and treat them like puppies or kittens. That’s when they grow up to be aggressive. They require a lot of attention, a lot of discipline, a lot of space, a lot of play time and a lot of companionship with other monkeys.
That's make them lose their abilities as a wild animals like dogs who we pet for long time and now there are lots of different breeds who are unable to live without a foster. Please stop to petting wild animals or put them into cages that's not cute That's calling abuse !
What a stupid thing. Animals are NOT children and they shouldn't be trated as such. If they can't have their own babies why not adopt real children in need of a family?
Yeah, real cute when they throw their crap at you or piss all over, bite, tear up the drapes, claw, scratch and scream and run like hell all over the house. Try and catch one when its freaked out. Not a good pet, and they get jealous and possessive and perverted. Never again. Leave 'em at the zoo or in the wild.
Imagine how many monkeys who can't have kids would like a baby monkey, and imagine how many orphaned kids would like a parent. . . Imagine how many kids would like clothes on thier backs, imagine how many monkeys would like to run wild, naked, and free. . . Okay then.
Yep! We can give a baby all the love it needs?? Perlease!! Can you give it the same love as it's mother and provide the complex habitat it should live in? What a bunch of wronguns...someone report these people to animal welfare!!
***** I don't care if you agree or disagree. People get these animals because they are cute, then no longer want them because the responsibility/they get older. So they abandon them. If a animal needs protecting leave it to the professionals on wild life rescues not some random people.
They're cute. I guess they're so numerous in S.E. Asia, that they're often captured for "pets", and TH-cam. But generally not treated well and often abused. I generally oppose exotic animals as pets at all .....
I guess if you're desperate to have a baby, and for some reason you can't adopt, this is the next best thing. The woman at 0:45 sounds especially needy.
These Monkeys have everything they could need EXCEPT their actual mothers. Also they DO grow up. When they do they are not as cute - and very difficult to manage. They do not make very good pets...
Disgusting and sad... if you really love these animals you never should keep them as pet or as you call them your "baby" ... they aren't domestic... these people are so selfish twats...
I've always wanted a monkey but for it to be a monkey have a cage,swings,ropes not for it to have a room with a tv and a kids bed,some people are mistaken when they say they want a monkey,I want a pet monkey but I don't think I'll ever get one due to them being really high maintenance and with work it would be impossible to keep one happy same as a dog they're animals not humans and I think there's only so much a human does and has is acceptable for an animal this is too far on my personal opinion but I'm not one to tell people what's right and wrong

Just because you can tame it, doesn't make it domesticated. It's one twitch away from ripping your face off. Remember Travis.
Travis was on meds and hallucinating.
But yee.
Travis was not a monkey.
Travis is an ape not a monkey and a monkey can't kill you. An ape in the other hand can give you a run for your money.
He wasn’t a monkey, he was an ape. But that doesn’t make it any more human to keep actual monkeys.

Yes these are so cute little baby monkeys. How cute are thy going to be when they get 21 inches high and start literally tearing your house up?

I agree with this partially, but the ones my heart breaks over on seeing these videos are homeless animals in shelters. Real pets who will love you given the chance. These filthy, ugly monkeys do not seem to love their owners AT ALL and once old enough usually thank them with violence. And though I do feel bad for kids who are orphans and wish they all had homes, I still believe that a person's best bet for actual, pure love is a shelter pet.
From what I've experienced of humanity, people do not love. They use, they lie, they cheat, and they're getting to the point of losing any kind of empathy whatsoever. When you go through life as the fat, ugly girl who everyone laughs at and bullies, and who people befriend only to use and dispose of, you learn the ugly side of human nature. And it's uglier than my face (almost, anyway). Most of the genuine love I've received in my life - and nearly all of it - has been from pets. This is why it kills me that they're stuck in cages and euthanized while these things get spoiled.
They are in for a very rude awakening when they are about 3 years old or reaches sexual maturity.
People adopt wild animals to feel love by someone or because it's cute or because it's fashion.
And if the animal becomes dangerous they go to the vet and kill them and say we had no choice. Yes you had. The choice of leaving wild animals where they belong: WILDLIFE.
When a person gets a pet because of what the pet can do for them or what the pet can bring into their lives, it us a sign of a very selfish person. You should never get a pet unless it is because of what you feel YOU can offer THEM. Not the other way around.
I really had to laugh at the young couple with their “precious little girl” monkey. They are thinking this is a really cute, little monkey and they probably thought it was a capuchin. They didn't even realize there are different kinds of monkeys. When I saw the baby I could only think “oh no - OMG no! that looks like a macaque baby!” and when the breeder took the couple back into that grimy cage area and proudly said this is the momma and daddy - I saw - yes those are macaques - oh boy, they have no idea what their ‘precious little girl’ is gonna grow into. Serves them right I think.

what's the problem with that? let people be happy in their own way,
the world would be much better, if each person took care of their life! 🙄
see how much they love their babies when they mature and become aggressive.
I'd really love to watch this documentary in its entirety. Seeing this was uploaded 10 years ago I'd also love to see an update. For some reason something tells me they don't have the monkeys anymore.
There are some people who step up to the responsibility bringing a primate into your family requires, Gaitlyn Rae(TH-cam channel, capuchin), and Kiala Capuchin have unconditionally dedicated parent/families, but 98% of the people who purchase a monkey to live in their home find it quite regrettable
Wow, so this is how far we've fallen? This is basically animal cruelty, wild animals shouldn't be treated as pets, let alone children.
I don't doubt that the couple with the monkey in a dress love her, but the fact that they (or someone) had her teeth removed to prevent serious bite wounds says a LOT about what kinds of pets monkeys make.
Wrong..it's called ignorance which I see many people that troll primate videos are!! Have you or do you know anyone that has a monkey or a primate rescue? They are the sweetest coolest and smartest primates! When people remove their teeth it's because they are ignorant humans. Same as people that force them to bipedal walk. Pure ignorance. Black caps, long tailed java macaques, vervets, green monkeys, pigtails, all are awesome primates. Some monkeys are abandoned by Mother. Their are reasons babies end up In human hands and hopefully they end up with humans that are not ignorant as hell. That's when 🐒 get abused!
Great point!
Just wait to it hits primate puberty. Then the things gets really bitey
How ridiculous...
My first thoughts were, "Oh FFS, how were these little babies obtained in the first place? What tragedy have they already experienced, so these people could turn them into living (for a little while, at least) dolls? What about their real mothers, who wouldn't have given up their babies willingly. Human arrogance. Human callousness.
The only time it makes sense to keep a monkey as a "pet" is when it's in genuine need of rescuing. Even then, they should be taken to a sanctuary first, if available. If not, I'd hope those taking in a rescue have its best interests at heart, do their research, follow through on that research, all with the ultimate goal of rehabilitating the monkey and safely returning him/her to as natural of a setting as possible.
I can just about guarantee that all these monkeys are no longer with these seriously deranged people. It is absolutely disgusting that people who are nowhere near qualified to care for a human baby attempt to care for a monkey with zero experience with primates. These are living creatures who are not playthings. That poor white faced capuchin had all her teeth pulled just to be some creepy people’s pet.
I don’t even think humans should intervene at all. Life with humans, good intentions or not, is confusing for monkeys. Always let their troop sort them out. If the infant is meant to live, another female will adopt it. Nature is always best when left alone.
this is sick
Can't decide if this is cute, weird, hilarious or downright insane. Humans are really absurd sometimes
Just wait until they grow up!!!😱
Absolutely insane
" If I hear somebody call her a monkey, i throw a fit she is my daughter 100 percent" yeah we know buddy we can tell from the family resemblance.
"She is my daughter 100%" "... children who will never grow up" I have jus been weirded out ._.;;
And the had their “daughters” teeth pulled.
@@hillary_was_here yes the cruelty never ends. They pull out the teeth because these animals use their teeth to protect themselves and to forage. Such an injustice to take the animal out of it natural habitats
If you love them, find a good sanctuary or rehab facility for monkeys and give it to them. They will be able to climb trees and live in a group like monkeys are suppose to.
That isn't always an option. Many sanctuaries have no space for more monkeys. And the former owner has to pay to keep it there.
given how monkeys treat each other, particularly newcomers, id have to not
I've asked my mom for a monkey for my birthday she said there dangerous
What ever happened to adopting HUMAN BABIES???!! want a child that never grows up? adopt a human child with a disability where they'll stay that way. these people are sick.
Read through that comment of yours again and think about what you wrote.

I watched like 15 minutes of this on Netflix and had to shut it off. These people are all delusional and careless. One woman thinks her monkey might have eaten her thyroid meds so she does what any logical person would do, she calls a Psychic hotline. The other feeds hers everything and anything nice way to kill your "baby". Here have some diabetes. The younger couple actually takes their new "baby" to see the mom before they leave with her. So sad to see her real mom going nuts over her baby. These people I swear.
Same here. I couldn't tolerate the ignorance and delusion...

Touhoulicious It's sad that they are stripped of all of that when people take them as "domestic" pets.
Leticia S.
Exactly!
Just what the world needs, a bunch of ignorant people supporting poaching and the black market for their own desires. Exotic animals are not pets or children. Leave them in the wild!
Maybe they lost their family and need a caring family so people take care of them
Cate Racoma uhhhh you don't adopt a wild animal. You call the proper authorities to have it picked up and cared for by professionals. I would call my local zoo.
When their ball sacks and scalps get ripped of by their sweet precious wild animal,maybe they shall learn. Heck,their are idiots walking around full blown wolves in their homes.
Couldn't agree more mankind should show true love and like a wild flower let it grow and flourish but instead we pluck them from natural life and morph theirs into a conformety of breaking them down into trained athand subjects. But truth is humans are too selfish and there is no wildlife for them to go back to. Harboring and treating them like children is the least we can do for them
***** I am from Australia ... i will send these people some "pet" spiders and snakes and shortly we shall see how much they enjoy wild animals.
Exactly, but if these people think it's okay to treat animals like this I don't think they should be adopting real human kids either.
i've worked with monkeys and loved every moment with them. Let me tell you, they are not pets nor should they be used as a prop child.
I think that exotic animals can live with humans as long as no harm comes to either and both are happy. People that think animals have to be in the wild because "That's where they belong" just seems silly to me.
Btw I'm buying a Fennec Fox. I'm so excited! =P
Cary Miller it's not silly, and that's not people spouting off a garbage phrase. Exotic animals are discouraged and in some cases illegal because it isn't healthy for the animal in question. When a puppy grows up it will still be an easily manageable animal because dogs have been domesticated a process that took a very long time. When that adorable baby monkey grows up and becomes sexually mature most of the time they turn aggressive. They're wild animals and that wild nature isn't something that goes away over the course of a single generation. Dogs and the like have been tamed for generations, domestication isn't a process that happens in a single generation. it is absolutely bad for the monkey in question to be kept as a pet and may prove hazardous to your own health. Many of them carry diseases and injure their owners. They will become destructive and tear your house apart. They can't be toilet trained and you have to clean up the mess. Many will end up with various neuroses and will demand your constant attention limiting your social life and ability to leave the house for too long. Monkeys are highly social animals, they need a troupe and that environment is nigh impossible to simulate if they're kept as a pet. In no way is this arrangement good for the monkey or the owner and there's a reason why most are given up when they get too old and unmanageable. Keeping a monkey as a pet is a HORRIBLE idea on every conceivable level and have to realize that just because they want an adorable little monkey it is in no way healthy for them or the animal in question.
Cary Miller haha or we should be in caves in the wild right now eh =p ? ..I get your point if it didn't hurt anybody or disturb the ecosystem then harm is only with opinionated and theoretical concerns. But a lot of pets are domesticated from breeding so they are "less aggressive" or whatever ..It really depends on what animal your getting and if you can trust no harm will come from keeping it as a pet to both people and all living things concern ..if there's no suffering it's "OK" but not necessary though ..I think a lot of wild animals may in theory be happier as pets because they aren't fighting for their life but most of these animals are complicated to keep so therefore are less happy if they are with an owner he doesn't get their needs...They can also be aggressive seeing they have not been bred so can have mood swings even if they love their owner. But pet's of all kinds originated from the wild anyway.....If somebody was 100 percent sure they weren't causing harm then exotic animals are like striped dogs but not everyone can raise a wild animal right so for both the owner and the "pets" sake it's something to research into ..but humans have so many pets, exotic pets do they necessarily make "better" pets than a loyal dog..? well good luck with your fox I hope it is in well researched hands =p
Benjamin Johansen dogs where in the wild it exactly the same
Cary Miller fennec foxes are so cute!!!
My monkey baby--Do you have any idea the real depression, sorrow, sadness, and trauma that you put these monkeys' REAL mothers through?
These so-called "monkey moms" don't really care. all they want is a baby monkey to satisfy their neurotic needs!
Oh yes, the monkey real mothers are sad and traumatized. Now they don’t have anyone to beat, bite, and torture on a daily basis!! The real abuse comes from their mothers. No other animals on the planet treat their young this way!!
Gregory Carlson True, There is absolutely no other species on the planet that treat their young the way these disgusting creatures do. There are videos out there that show different mothers being cornered and then literally throwing their baby into the arms of a predator in order to save their own neck. It’s insidious and appalling.
John Mark Smith Thanks for the reply. I have no doubt there are vids showing what you mentioned and worse. There are numerous ones on these very TH-cam channels where the mothers violently rip food out of the mouths of the babies and stuff it into their own mouths. I’d like someone to show me a dog, cat, horse, etc. who does that!! It is, as you say, truly appalling. Keep spreading the truth about these disgusting creatures. Happy New Year to you and yours!
@@gregorycarlson6632 However, The reason human s eventually dump their "babies" is because they can no longer handle them. Mother monkeys know that their babies are MONKEYS and discipline them according to the way MONKEYS are. Humans let them have their own way and thusly end up with an ANIMAL they can't do anything with.

@linkclicker nah.
children would love a home with love that really need a home. and parents just want to play parents,
Really? I love animals, and we have to take care of them but this is selfish, they are not a toy, a prize....
They aren't treating them as that either. And stop parading the word animal around as if you aren't one.
im all for responsible people owning these, but the people interviewed in this video are the equivalent of crazy cat ladies. majorly unqualified.
Something that makes me mad wit these "My monkey is my child" folk. The people who have real kids seem to think more of the monkey than the kid. Stories where the monkey bit one of the children and the parents made excuses for the monkey or blamed the kid.
I love animals and connect with them better than people BUT I don't see how parents could allow the animal to hurt the children. The monkeys ARE smart - smart enough to realize "mom and dad" favor *them* and the can bite whoever they want whenever they want.
Monkey bites their own child and mom scolds the child for causing it. Monkey bites neighbors child, mom explains to neighbor that it had to be *their kids* fault. Neighbors call the cops who shoot the monkey as a dangerous animal.
Lizards, snakes and monkeys should not be stolen from the wild and it’s honestly abuse that they are giving the monkeys cakes and shit because that is VERY unhealthy for them
1:26 make up?! That's too much
that lady that wants a forever baby ...do you see she has removed the "baby capucians teeth?"
Anyone else wondering about the real mother of those monkeys? Their baby has been taken away from them way too early. :(
The baby should never have been taken away in from its mother to begin with!
Odds are, the mother was murdered to get the baby. Regardless, even if the mother IS still alive, how is anyone ever going to find her to reunite them?
do you wonder about puppies and kittens too?
nope, in the usa all the mamas are alive and well.. and do just fine when baby is taken just as your puppies and kittens are
actually Robin your greatly mistaken... monkeys flourish in homes... they live double their life span than they would in the wild, they live healthier lives, have less stress and their social skills are well... most who have pet monkeys have more than one, heck I know some who have 16 monkeys.... in one house.... Robin, when you take your Rxs or buy drugs at the store, does the fact a monkey in a lab as tested on for that product and tortured and killed for YOUR meds stop you from taking your meds or vaccines??? I am betting not.
FYI this is not a common thing in the US, nor is it a common solution to infertility and similar situations here. "Thousands of Americans"?
They don't necessarily. They can, though. I'm not sure monkeys make good pets. They aren't really domesticated like cats or dogs. I don't know how cats and dogs become like this, but they know they rely on humans and are in turn nice to them and hang around them. Monkeys aren't like this. If you raise a monkey from a young age they will become somewhat like this, but not nearly as much as cats or dogs. I do not think monkeys should be anyone's pet unless that person is very well trained..
This is the most ridiculous thing I ever seen
Well then you did not have heart when you wrote that.
Quelle honte
Vous Montrez ça comme l'adoption d'un enfant
C'est insupportable
You can take a monkey from the wild ,but you can never take the wild out of a monkey !!!!!!
Explotive and especicially creepy!
This video is now a decade old. Wonder where them monkeys are now? 🤔
I like MonkeyBoo. Pete and Boo are much more fun than those pansies.
There is no difference at all...
I mean yes they are cute but what happens when they get older and are no longer a cute little baby monkey? I heard a story of a couple that had a pigtail macaque and when it got older anyone that came to the house to visit the monkey would attack the person and bite and scratch the person. Eventually they got rid of her.
And what exactly would you do with a monkey? Keep it in a glass container like you keep a snake? Or inside a cage? They're dressed up for a reason, to not shit and piss all over the place. And people take monkeys around because you can just leave it at home, or lock it up in the dark leaving it for days not having to worry about it like you can do with a snake. Monkeys are not regular pets, they take as much devotion and attention as children.
You're not getting the point here, he's saying the people adopt monkeys at their "own" human baby replacement instead of a real baby. You're saying people adopt cats as replacement for babies. Cats are adopted as pets, not substitutes.
But they are gonna grow up? 😂
Thank you for saying this. If someone rescues a monkey its a different story. But when they buy them from pet mills or monkey mills then its supporting torture. Same with puppy mills. People don't buy animals who come from any form of breeding institution. Rescue them from shelters or rescue an orphaned animal in the wild. Never hunt animals. Hunters cause baby animals to lose their mothers and this is torture.
Remember the woman who lost her face? Chimp attack by one who was raised from a baby! The comment previous also indicated the removal of canine teeth...that pretty well says it was done as a precaution against biting!
Despite their human-like behavior, they are wild and have a great amount of strength. Sadly, people what to call them babies.
That animal cannot possibly live up to those types of expectations. Completely unfair position an situation for them to be in. A person who gets a pet for what the animal can give them instead of for what they can offer the animal , including acceptable habitat for its species, should not HAVE the animal. That's what causes animal hoarding. No hoarder gets an animal to make the animal's lives better only to fill some void inside them. This is a related issue. When they grow up, you will wish you hadn't done it.
You missed the point. Completely. Try reading it again. I am making a connection between the twi problems. BOTH involves selfishness. Both involve consideration of the person's needs instead of what is best for the animal. Your a breeder. Your only investment in this conversation is to protect you flow of income. Your opinion is selfish based, worse than anyone else's problem I was refering to. You can throw numbers and I can throw them right back. I don't follow "PETA". I think those people are dangerous. They'll kill people to save animals. I listen to people like Jane Goodall who has spent her life studying the animals behaviors and needs. I have no money to gain by making this statement. Throwing out made up statistics to validate your claims is bullshit. You just don't want to lose business. These people want to put a heavy emotional burden on an animal and when the animal isn't capable of filling their needs, they will become abusive, neglectful or simply give the animal up because they "can't handle it".
Most of the monkeys in wild life sanctuaries are from unwanted pets.
monkeys actually live twice as long in captivity then in the wild, nothing wrong with having monkeys as a pet, a monkey can be domesticated just as well as a dog or cat.
Actually, the CDC and the CDC are trying to put a STOP to all of this right now. What a lying bitch.
I think people breed domesticated monkeys these days...some are trained for disabled people ...but I get what your trying to say ..I think though these monkeys are happier than wild monkeys ...I know it could be seen as "greedy" to add more pets to the list..we turned wolfs into dogs and keep exotic birds with no shocks but I mean if you can do so without removing animals from the wild or mixing things up and care for them...what's the problem...some dog owners are terrible compared to a lot of monkey owners ...besides they help disabled people..like dogs ...and should we as humans not be in the wild too xD in caves and such ..there are bigger problems ..these monkeys are lucky to be loved and fed
cake is not natural to you either. i have yet to find a cake tree. if youve found one, i would love to know where.

No one should have wild animals as pets. Its not right! Way too many wild "pets" become abused or abandoned because they don't turn out to be the cuddly little animals their "owners" thought they'd be. It needs to be ILLEGAL.
I live in the U.S. and I've never seen one person raising a monkey, with the exception of a helper monkey I saw once. ENGLAND WHY ARE YOU MAKING UP SHIT ABOUT US? These people are creepy.
I think it’s weird. A monkey shouldn’t be treated as another “child.” That’s wrong. A pet at the max, but say it’s your daughter or son? What really makes it even weirder is when some of these adults want a monkey because it’s like a child that NEVER leaves them.
“ so cute” yeah..wait til it hits puberty and bites ppl and none of the family or friends don’t drop by anymore because their scared of “sweetie pie” … just a matter of time
This is so damn irresponsible. Why give these horribly misguided people a platform? Monkeys aren’t babies that won’t grow up. The problem is that they do grow up, and will be horribly maladjusted from being humanized. Adult monkeys want to be adult monkeys, not some old lady’s forever baby. Baby monkeys are cute, but incredibly demanding and a human will always be a poor substitute for its real mother. Just get a dog or a cat. Dogs have evolved alongside humans and thrive as members of a human family. Monkeys are intelligent wild animals, and they want to live monkey lives.
and they removed its teeth!!!
Monkeys are not pets, dressing them in clothing is not anything a normal wild animal would have... There is a difference between a baby and a baby MONKEY. People need to know that
You are not helping these monkeys. It's a million dollars business and these monkeys are watching there mothers being clubbed to death right after there births by poachers. Whatever story you have been told up to you receiving these monkeys is 100 percent bull....Feeding them ( by the way human food is not good for monkeys) and dressing them up in doll clothes is just sickening. You think those monkeys are happy? There not happy. They are just making a situation that is out of there control bearable as possible for them. All of you taking part in this ridiculous behavior should go to jail. You are robbing these monkeys of the life they were meant to have. They don't need you to take care of them. They need a whole tribe to develop normally and all of you who keep telling these people they are good people and how much they do for these adorable poor orphaned monkeys...well u are idiots... your comments keep these abusers active and you make them think what they are doing is okay.... Shame on all of you!
Oh they grow up. They most certainly grow up. How’s the adult monkey working out for these people? Mmmmhhhhmmm
Yeah, they’re adorable when they are baby’s, not when they get big and go through puberty. And diaper changing for over 20 years? Their diapers are full all the time with poop the size of humans. No thank you. And forget about a life or going anywhere. You have to have a babysitter that knows the monkey from when it was a baby, they don’t trust outsiders. Also you have to have an exotic vet and they are hard to find.
Not to mention they will bite or attack you, not a matter of if, it’s when.
I watched the whole documentary and it's so cruel to take the baby monkeys from their mothers at a couple of weeks old. The mothers live in boring cages like kennels and seem very agitated. It's bloody cruel and unnatural but typical of selfish Americans who want everything for themselves. Other countries ban keeping wild animals as it's cruel but not the U.S. where everything is done to excess and selfishness reigns.
There's children who are orphaned that crave human love! But I guess some would rather adopt baby monkeys 🐒
These people are insane. I'm not saying that to be a smartass. These people seriously need help. Monkeys are not surrogate children. There are children all over the world that need homes. Being an orphan and a child of adoption myself, this entire monkey adopting scenario affects me deeply and saddens me. These people want a baby to care for so badly and they opt to get a freaking monkey. An overpopulated and pest of an animal that harbors all kinds of communicable diseases. These people, especially the young couple are in for one hell a rude awakening. When their precious little goblin hits puberty and starts to bite and wreck their house and will tear its diaper off their attitudes will be much different and will end up hating it. Most of these idiot monkey owners do nothing but spoil and coddle their monkeys and never discipline it or make it mind and set a hierarchy. It's absolutely sickening to see the younger couple baby talk their monkey and dressing it in baby clothes and pushing it around in a damn stroller. My God that's embarrassing and pathetic. There are so many children who would love that kind of affection and care and here it is wasted on nasty monkeys who don't love their owners the way they love them. The owner is nothing but a food source to them. It's not love. It's a territorial thing and they rely on them. What a freakshow.....
9 years ago....I would love to know what happened now and I'll give mt input.....the younger couple divorced when one woke up....the older couple both died and noone knows what happened to the 🐒......and who knows what happened to the middle aged couple but the monkey is not with them no more
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who finds this digusting.
If you're gonna keep a monkey respect it's nature, don't make him wear stupid dresses not even a child would want and most importantly DON'T REMOVE IT'S TEETH you egotistical cruel psychos
Warped and creepy.
SO CUTE
How about letting their moms raise them...
Capuchins are great pets if you know what your doing. I have two capuchins, 14 years old and 8 years old. Neither one has gotten aggressive or bitten anyone. They were hyper of course (as all young animals are). But they grow up the way you raise them. Problem is, most people baby them and treat them like puppies or kittens. That’s when they grow up to be aggressive. They require a lot of attention, a lot of discipline, a lot of space, a lot of play time and a lot of companionship with other monkeys.
They should get reborn dolls or something
lol im not even gonna try to argue, your right
That's make them lose their abilities as a wild animals like dogs who we pet for long time and now there are lots of different breeds who are unable to live without a foster.
Please stop to petting wild animals or put them into cages that's not cute
That's calling abuse !
Sara mir what??? Your comment makes no sense
What a stupid thing. Animals are NOT children and they shouldn't be trated as such. If they can't have their own babies why not adopt real children in need of a family?
Yeah, real cute when they throw their crap at you or piss all over, bite, tear up the drapes, claw, scratch and scream and run like hell all over the house. Try and catch one when its freaked out.
Not a good pet, and they get jealous and possessive and perverted. Never again. Leave 'em at the zoo or in the wild.
Imagine how many monkeys who can't have kids would like a baby monkey, and imagine how many orphaned kids would like a parent. . . Imagine how many kids would like clothes on thier backs, imagine how many monkeys would like to run wild, naked, and free. . . Okay then.
Very well put. This could possibly be the most sense I've seen in one paragraph on the internet.
Yep! We can give a baby all the love it needs?? Perlease!! Can you give it the same love as it's mother and provide the complex habitat it should live in? What a bunch of wronguns...someone report these people to animal welfare!!
People stick to domestic animal's.
***** I don't care if you agree or disagree. People get these animals because they are cute, then no longer want them because the responsibility/they get older. So they abandon them. If a animal needs protecting leave it to the professionals on wild life rescues not some random people.
This is Katrina's mother. Please ignore her comments... She's 11.

***** You used "and" in the beginning of a sentence though
They're cute. I guess they're so numerous in S.E. Asia, that they're often captured for "pets", and TH-cam. But generally not treated well and often abused. I generally oppose exotic animals as pets at all .....
I guess if you're desperate to have a baby, and for some reason you can't adopt, this is the next best thing. The woman at 0:45 sounds especially needy.
These Monkeys have everything they could need EXCEPT their actual mothers. Also they DO grow up. When they do they are not as cute - and very difficult to manage. They do not make very good pets...
This makes me physically sick.

Disgusting and sad... if you really love these animals you never should keep them as pet or as you call them your "baby" ... they aren't domestic... these people are so selfish twats...
I've always wanted a monkey but for it to be a monkey have a cage,swings,ropes not for it to have a room with a tv and a kids bed,some people are mistaken when they say they want a monkey,I want a pet monkey but I don't think I'll ever get one due to them being really high maintenance and with work it would be impossible to keep one happy same as a dog they're animals not humans and I think there's only so much a human does and has is acceptable for an animal this is too far on my personal opinion but I'm not one to tell people what's right and wrong
what's next..? inter-species weddings?
They will call animal control or take a tript to the hospital with their bitten off fingers and so forth :D ....Cheers!
