Primates are not meant to have primates as pets.

There was recently a situation in which a pet chimpanzee went wild. A lady had owned the chimp for many years and never had much trouble with it. However, a few weeks ago, the chimpanzee turned on the owner and began to attack a neighbor. Local enforcement had to come and take control of the chimp, but this was not done without killing it. This just shows that chimpanzees are not good pets. They may be smart, and but having a pet with such a high level of knowledge can be dangerous. There have been many chimpanzee attacks in the past, and the attacks could decrease if people would stop getting these primates for pets. The chimpanzee that was killed used to be in the Old Navy commercials. I guess we won't be seeing him in any more of the commercials.
