Here in Montana we can buy mokeys but cant own them???

Why sell them here?

Anyone who puts an animal in a cage deserves to be fucking shot dead.

NO MORE CAGES!!

Movin' to Montana soon,
Gonna be a dennil floss tycoon ...
(yes, I am)

i would let it roam free...

And how does the pet store get away with "owning" them?

But, lovely Montanan woman ...

Would you allow them to cultivate "dennil floss"?

soup or chilled monkey brains
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This sounds like some kind of monkey conspiracy.

i dont know how they do it but heres the number if you dont believe me ...

oh GOD ... What pissed me off was she was so rude.. and said to bad you cant own them in montana,, but you could buy one if you lived out of state with an out of state id,,,hmmmm

And you would get monkey shit all over you and everything you own.

When we were kids we moved to SC and saw a monkey in our yard, we thought they grew wild in the state, but soon discovered our neighbors owned it. It was pretty cool to see that thing running through the pines.

But that doesn't make much sense.

i would send it to a good home .. better then that place..that place is sick!!!!

they are abusing animals ,,they have alot of animals i think they are not suppose to have?
even a zoo would be better...

People buy animals because they don't get enough affection from each other. Which is sad.

BTW. I looooove Montana!

Live in Tasmania, but was in Big Sky country in July. Had my first buffalo burger! Loved the people. So friendly...

Agree.

Maybe if they're in the store, they're just considered "in transit"?

It would be kinda interesting to know if there's some equally bizarre, complementary law in a neighboring state, that says you can't buy them, but nothing against owning them. Then it would just be good capitalism, right?

Either that, or Montana's got a secret plan to unleash hordes of killer monkeys on us all!

Maybe they lease them?

Do they allow you to 'spank the monkey' in Montana?

This is why they don't want you owning a monkey in Montana.

If it escaped, it would freeze to death!

That doesn't really matter, because the monkey would destroy everything she owns, anyway.

Well, I actually looked into this (lol), and it looks like there was a big push around 2004-5 to get all states to ban private ownership of monkeys. Didn't get too far in some places, others seemed to think all monkeys were chimp-sized or gorilla or equally dangerous. (Sorry, I think DoZ could take one of those hand-sized ones!)

Your average, Michael Jackson monkey can lift 900lbs with one arm...casually. (Forget weights, I'm going to start swinging from trees!) So they are dangerous, especially when something sets them off. Still, while I'm not a big fan of "pets", it seems a little extreme to me to do a blanket ban. Some smaller monkeys are plentiful, and there are worse pets to have.

Oh, and here's a map, probably a little dated, but it might give you a rough idea of ownership. Oddly, it says Montana's fine. Maybe it's a new law, or perhaps that lady just didn't like DoZ?

I'm thinking maybe she has young women come in all the time, and doesn't trust them to take good care of them, especially if folks are out to shut down that part of her business. Doesn't take much to end up with a law shutting things down, these days, just the wrong news story.

Maybe put on a fake mustache and glasses, coat and hat and try again DoZ!

no to own out right..im not logged in everytime i leave i have to log back in sucks...

LMAO !!!! OK I WILL

WHY? SELL THEM HERE THEN?

I want a mokey, too!

well you can buy a horse too, but you aren't allowed to eat it.

I wonder if there is a law against eating monkeys in MT.

you can buy and have them as pets in Tx. I use to want one but have heard they are mean and sometimes dangerous. Still, it would be cool if they just hung around in the trees
