Remove PA ban on Capuchin, Marmoset, and Squirrel Monkey's

This should include Marmosets (Finger Monkeys) in addition to Capuchin Monkeys.

If raised properly they like a dog could be man's best friend.

I've worked with these animals in Pittsburgh and here when Blair county wildlife center was open and have well over 20 years knowledge and 8 years hands on wisdom and I feel that it's BS. I think as long as these exotic animals come from a breeder only with proof all are captive breed that these animals should be aloud. It's time to make a change. I vote yes PA needs to let them in, and people that can provide these animals with a good life be aloud to own them.

Let us have monkeys

I have a physical disability that significantly hinders my ability to care for a dog or cat or other usual and much larger family-type pet. Because of my disability, I don't get out of the house very often. Frankly, it is very boring and depressing being here by myself day and night. I've always wanted a very small "companion pet." The Pygmy Marmosat, in particular, is my choice for a "new friend." I know the wheels of justice sometimes turn very slowly. But, I would like to welcome a new pet into my home while I'm still able to care for something so small and while I can really enjoy the bonding process and the companionship. Im very interested in the interactions between us - how 2 different species will learn to communicate with each other, to trust each other, and to bring joy to each other's lives.

I am paralyzed in a wheelchair and would like a capuchin monkey helper. They are trained through Helping Hands Monkey Helpers, and so far no luck with the PA ban. PLEASE help us responsible people.

Yes please make marmosets legal!!

I want to own a Monkey too

Agreed.

Please left the ban

I have the right in the constitution of life,liberty and per suit of happiness. Stay out of things in a private no public setting

We should not have the government tells what we can and cannot do when it comes to pets.

I want a marmoset monkey more than anything. It's ridiculous that the state bans them, especially when we can give them pretty awesome homes.

If O.J. can get away with murder, why can't I own a monkey?

tghis is so wrong ,pit bulls are more dangereous then marmoset monkeys,there have been alot of pit bull attacks here in erie pa then i can count ,remove this ban plz.

Birds carry avion flu. Snakes strangle babies, and turtles have dirty mouths. I understand tigers and such, but not monkeys. Plus if we are willing to spend a lot of money. I don't think we are going to take a chance of them being taken away.

Please PLEASE please remove the ban on capuchin, marmoset & squirrel monkeys in PA! - They are sweet animals that we should have this right to have on my property if I wish.

You should ban guns not monkeys pa make it real easy to get a concealed permit but really hard to get a pet permit

I need a monkey!
