it depends on your state, and then local laws. About 19 states have total bans. The rest have either partial bans requiring permits for others, or no regulations at all. Note that even in states with no laws some counties do have bans. For an outline of states visit http://www.petmonkeyinfo.com/laws.HTML. Also read the rest of the site. Monkeys are very cute when young, but during and after maturity require persons who understand their needs, and know how to handle them. They are A LOT or work, and require constant companionship to be happy. Capuchins are a 40+ year commitment. Are you sure that you are ready for that? You will have an animal who will be in the terrible two's stage for EVER. Research all that you can before getting one and make sure that monkey ownership is right for you.

Answer 2

Capuchin monkeys are a regulated species in many places and may require special permits to own as pets. In some areas, it may be illegal to have them as pets due to concerns about their welfare and the risk they pose to owners and the public. It's essential to check with local authorities and research the laws and regulations in your area before considering a capuchin as a pet.
