Introduction

In the United States, owning a monkey is considered illegal in certain states and territories. In fact, twenty-five states completely ban ownership of primates. Some states that allow ownership may have restrictions such as needing a permit or proof that the animal was acquired legally. Other states require the owner to take steps to protect public health and safety, such as meeting specific caging requirements or having liability insurance. In some cases, even if an individual meets all of the criteria for owning a primate, they may still be prevented from doing so due to local ordinances. Additionally, some cities forbid primate ownership even if it is allowed at a state level.
