While living in Costa Rica I would see neighbors get baby Howler Monkeys and raise them as pets. I never understood them. You go the their house and here is this monkey with a diaper, worse than a kid, the kid will grow up. They are wild, they get big and people have to do something with them, they can't control them. You can't turn them lose, well you can but they will die or get killed by the others. we would watch tourists stand under them and take pictures, until they peed or--on them. Sometimes we would stop the car just to watch the tourists do this.
One of the good things about my tree covered house, the monkeys didn't like my trees and I only saw one monkey one time on the property. Across the street, up the valley, in my friends front yards, but never at my house. I have never been a fan of pet monkeys. They should stay in the wild.
