Are they ownable pets in the UK? I can't imagine somone walking a leopard but ive always been interested to know.
I was going to get a small monkey a few years ago but found out you need a license (at least i think you do). I mean can you take a leopard or monkey and have them live as normal pets? Many people have monkeys but im not sure in the UK. Any advice at all would be great.

It depends what you mean by "pet" really.. they will never be domesticated animals and a pet in the way a cat or a dog will be, but then neither are 99% of reptiles. If you mean can you keep them, and given the correct environment will they survive, breed, learn to accept you and even eventually trust or interact with you, then it's entirely possible.
The problem with primates and big cats is it is not simple to house and feed them, you have to get it right and you have to treat them like the wild animals they are - primates are not surrogate children, and big cats are not domestic cats. Some cats and primates are on the DWA list, others aren't though, but without a doubt they will be expensive any any reputable dealer or breeder will vet you thoroughly for the large enclosure (often outdoors) and social interaction that the animal will need.
