Darwin also has a Curious George stuffed monkey that he takes to a tub for a bath, shows where to drink and how to groom, Hirji added.

Me too, man. Hit me right in the pregnant hormones for some reason, and now FEELS, ALL OF THEM.

I can't even think about this too much because it makes me so sad. POOR MONKEY.

Aww. Poor guy. Good that he's in a good-monkeyplace.

And lady, he's not a human, or "your son." Seriously. I get that you have an attachment to him but he's a monkey, not a person. Different needs altogether.

People who keep monkeys as pets (AND support the entirely unscrupulous way primate pets are obtained and bred) are the kind of selfish trash who wouldn't give a shit about what's good for the animal. It's 100% about them and their need to pigeonhole a completely different species into a living doll for heir entertainment or some kind of creepy child-replacement.

Well, in case I ever bring the kids I babysit to the zoo, I'll know to tell them to not wave at the monkeys.
