why do you refer to it as though a macaque is not a monkey? It is, the same as an orange is a type of fruit.

Ah, shit, the monkey is six. So a toddler wouldn't know better yet, and the grandma was being negligent. Any idiot knows you have to really watch little kids around any animals to make sure neither one makes any sudden moves.

So MonkeyMan didn't tell the brat not to tug the monkey's fur? That was dumb. And the grandma didn't have her damn eyes open watching? Dumb. And the kid is six and doesn't know any better than to harass a strange animal? Bet the dumb lil fucker won't do that again.

They may not be helper monkeys, but you can purchase your very own monkey here: http://www.primatestore.com/forsale.htm Though I think monkeys are over-rated, the great apes are where it's at.

I'm pulling for the monkey here - monkeys are waaaaay better than toddlers. Like to see little Tommy Romano steal a dozen from Lard Lad.
