Should we be allowed to keep primates privately? - Page 5

The same could be said of the giant snakes that people keep. How many are truly geared up to maintain a 15' + snake in the manner it should be?
If you can demonstrate that you have the resources, knowledge time and ability to maintain an animal correctly, giving proper consideration to environment, diet, physical and mental stimulation, then why should you not be allowed to keep one?
It matters not whether it's a corn snake or a marmoset, they have a right to live in an environment which is healthy and stimulating and meets their requirements to thrive.

if this is the case, why did you tell all the primate keepers on Monkeybird Exotics Forum this:

also... in your post telling the story of your marmosets death, you say

and yet you know have a wanted advert out for female marmies on the monkey bird forum.. AND have been asking rory about whether or not he can find you some more!!!!! in fact, when you contacted rory this evening, regarding finding you another 2 females, you made out like mckenzie was still alive..

basically you lied kitty. you told us you had had him neutered, built him a large enclosure, and wanted two females to join him!!!!! at this point, you had already posted news of his death on another forum! what, did you think this is the ONLY forum we come on????

you try and tell us you have grown up and taken advice on board, yet your "pet" dies, and within hours you are asking us to find you others.. AND lying about the state of mckenzies health!!!! where is that growing up kitty???

you might have been close to him kitty, and you might have thought he was happy.. BUT if you had a proper enclosure for him BEFORE you got him... i am afraid he may still be alive now... how happy does that make him now he has been killed by a log in his cage falling on him???

yes, we all make mistakes, yes, shit happens.. but for heavens sake kitty, learn from your mistakes and do not try and bullshit us please!

Did say in the other thread how sad it was Kenzie had died but it was removed and locked

Kitty - can I please, please beg you not to get more marmies. I know you have said you don't want any but you do have ads placed etc already.

If you are in coucnil housing with bad neighbours then you simply can't provide a suitable outdoor enclosure for them and that isn't fair on them - I would hate to hear of you posting that you had lost a further pair of marmies

Do you plan on having a post mortem carried out on Kenzie to find out the cause of his death at all or are you just burying him as you said? I only ask as it may be better to knwo the exact reason he has passed away

As this has gone away from Rory's original question into a personal thread on kitty its time to lock. I will leave the posts up that way the few do not need to keep repeating there message.
