quote of the day
Under ordinary circumstances, monkeys don't go near people. If it is the same one monkey (that was involved in all the incidents), it's possible that it was given food from people and now it thinks that it can get food from human beings if it gets close enough.

I do not know what the animals in his zoo are like but the monkeys around here are aggressive.

Monkey pets are so working class. Get a Cheetah or go home.

I have had two pet monkeys in my life. Extremely intelligent but can be aggressive and bite. Dogs make for better pets as do rabbits.
