How can I own a chimp?

Question

How can I own a chimp?

Answer 1

I think you need a license to own a wild animal..

Answer 2

You don't.  In addition to them being dangerous, by supporting the trade, you are supporting animal cruelty.

This information is for all primates:

Answer 3

First, you have to be rich and stupid and do the moon-walk.

Answer 4

don't. chimps are just as dangerous as tigers and bears. you know those sanctuaries where they rescue animals that have been illegally sold to people, that is what would happen with your chimp if you got one. They are very territorial and do not make good pets at all.

Answer 5

Unless you're able to get a permit (and these are both expensive AND difficult to get), you can't.

Nor should you.

Answer 6

Primates make terrible pets.  Worse than having a child.  

Leave the wild to the wild.
