Proves yet again that animals raised together in a positive and loving enviroment can get along no matter how different they are . Though all animals play fight together ( absolutely neccessary and natural ) they were playing and not fighting and by observation it'd be safe to say they;re bonding perfectly and basicly love each other. Two wonderfull animals who obviously are being raised healthy and properly, Thank you for sharing the video .
I've been involved in Pit Bull rescue for years now and this video is so perfect, showing their true nature as gentle, loving dogs. Thank you for showing this! It's amazing! Your little Abigail is adorable too. :)
Why don't you come rescue the pitbull that almost caused me to lose my arm when I was babysitting it. Yeah I've had pitbulls as pets before but would never risk it after that around any of my kids.
@@policedeescalationtaskforc1184 Exactly, people refuse to see the issues with Pit Bulls. They can be gentle and loving, but so can a Bear! But before the attack, I'll bet you never thought a Pit was possible of that kind of aggression, most people think it's their upbringing. Pits are not pets! You can't outbreed aggression. I'm so glad that you are alright, and very sorry to hear that you were attacked.
We pulled the dog's (Hercules) teeth with pliers and no anesthesia so he can't bite the monkey (Abigail)...just ask Lillian because we are evil. LOL His teeth are intact and perfectly healthy...never noticed his teeth weren't visible but if they're not, it's because he is being cautious as he always does.
I saw how gentle that dog is with the baby, very sweet, I love his/her ears too ! my pit had floppy ears she was too old by the time I got her. Now I have a pit mix with huge radar ears lol
So your saying that the lack of a natural habitat for a Capuchin is fine? That's where all most of the controversy is circled around! Even if they were breeded that does not take the animal instinct out of a pet. They're not like dogs who've been breeded for hundreds of years. Capuchins are extremely territorial and smart. Also, capuchin babies are taken from their mothers at an extremely young age - causing psychological damage for both. That's why there are laws prohibiting it - it's humane.
Thank you! I've been wanting to discuss joint venture opportunities with you. I have some ideas and contacts to bring to the table. Let me know if you are interested....
Capuchins cost around $6,500 at lowest. And they're really only maintainable for the first two years of adolesence. After puberty, they're pretty wild..
Rich Iannariello Right, in Florida where people release so many pets that anybody can go out and catch for free a snake or lizard that would cost a grand plus in a store. I know what I'm talking about. Take your own advice and shut the hell up.
Huey Freeman again their 8-900 dollars you moron I have two friends that own them we are not talking about snakes we are talking bout monkeys my friend could never afford 6 or 7 grand if you want your name you can fellow her on facebook cause she goes live with her monkey an in fact she's about to buy another one you are correct they do get wild after 5 or so years but the price your saying is way off so GFY u dum bitch lol
This is a very young little capuchin monkey, maybe 2-3 years old, having a ball playing with this dog and the dog intelligent enough not to bite him. Animals do get along very well! The dog knows that it's a baby monkey!!
Lillian, please read a book and educate yourself on caring for primates. If you do, you will learn that Justin is correct. I mean, put yourself in Abigail's shoes..... If you were a monkey, wouldn't you rather be in a loving environment where you do not have to fight the elements, hide from predators and have your food delivered to you?
I will add that I took a few months off from working when I first got Abigail and really believe that the time I was able to spend with her made for a very strong bond that served as an awesome foundation for our relationship for each of us. Be looking for more videos to come...I should have already posted more. Take care Dave and thanks Tom for opening the door for a good discussion...I hope you learned a few things, with the main being you are not qualified to even be in this discussion!
Lillian, that's a common comment for someone who is too poor to afford a monkey and much less has the mental capacity, time, and love to provide them what they need. Think about it...monkeys in the wild endure the elements of the weather, have to find their own food, are prey to many predators and live approx. half as long as in captivity. You are merely a parrot to things you have heard and researched online with no first hand experience. Then you finish off with you want one? Bipolar???
Tom, what is your personal experience with owning a monkey? Most of the things you type are almost exact excerpts from articles I read before getting Abigail. Your spelling and grammer errors are indicative that you are not very bright to begin with. I can tell you that monkeys are not for everyone and are a LOT of responsibility!!! I happen to be someone with the time, patience, continual education and most importantly love who is so far very successful with my new addition to our family.
I agree with you, lets say they did remove him and placed him with a group he'd probably be the outcast picked on and lower ranking and have to deal with that his whole life but here with a human that is not an issue and can be as happy as he wishes to be granted its not "normal behavior" but i dont really see that as something to care for
Dude free? They usually go for 300$ to 500$ and you can always go to a professional to find out the all information you need to handle a Capuchin monkey as a pet.I say take it! Please reply if you did or you already have it :)
...frequently. She is admittedly my first monkey but I know she is happy. I have her a monkey-safe completely enclosed chain link playground in the back yard that I never leave her unattended in and her cage inside is a huge parrot cage I can fit in and move around with ease with plenty of mind stimulating enrichment activities. By the way, capuchins don't get diabetes from being kept captive; they acquire it by being fed incorrectly with high amounts of simple carbs (sugar). Tom, you look..
...bottles a day to allow her to keep making the connection to me nursing her as a baby and to make it easy for her to take medicine if she ever needs to. There is nothing that still warms my heart more that to feed her a bottle with her grasping my hand with her little hands and gazing into my eyes with total trust and love. We have 5 and 8 year old daughters she enjoys playing with as well. She'll leap from my shoulder and land on their heads and continually performs new amazing things...
...the financial means, time, compassion, understanding and unconditional love to deserve owning one of the most amazing pets (and I hate even using the term "pet"). I've always been a huge animal lover and the term "man's best friend" is referring to a dog owner who has never owned a monkey. There is absolutely no other animal on the planet that can offer the rewards a monkey can...coming from a long time dog owner / lover (among many other animals). Abigail sleeps cuddling with me every...
...night. She has the most obvious and health bond with me. I take her to most public places, with the exception of dining indoor dining establishments but only out of respect to people who would view her as a health concern because they are unfamiliar with primates and her particularly. She is VERY socialized and loves interacting with people and dogs. She plays chase around the house and loves me to wrestle her with my hand and tickle her belly. I just leash trained her last weekend...
It required putting a leash around her waist for about 10 minutes while only giving her a foot of loose leash. After jumping and flipping around on the couch she associated the leash with accepting restraint and now I can simply put the leash on her and with her just feeling it around her waist she will sit on my shoulder patiently and lovingly while I do whatever. She'll chill with me watching movies now. I bottle fed her from the time I got her at 7 weeks old and still give her a few...
Well they're both over a year old now and still play just as gentle as ever. Kevin, I guess you're another stereotypical and ignorant person who obviously hasn't had first hand experience raising one of the most loyal dogs in the world...what a shame and a waste of a mind!
...like a kid who couldn't afford a capuchin and I find it intriguing you feel the need to speak so passionately on something I know you have no first hand experience with. My advice would be to stick to your video games or whatever makes you tick and leave the primate subject to those with the maturity and resources to have an intelligent conversation. Dave, if you are a true animal lover, a monkey would change your life more than you can imagine in such a positive manner! But it sounds...
Tom, I would say that I agree that it is too easy for anyone to purchase a monkey. My own comment contradicts my typically conservative point of views in which I hate beaurocracy and big government but after having Abigail and learning of many failed attempts by people (probably like you) who don't need to own a monkey, I do think laws should be in place to ensure responsible owners and appropriate homes / environments. Most people (I'm assuming) wouldn't have the patience, let alone...
...like you are in a State with legislation that has been passed by uneducated people like Tom, and that's a shame! Abigail will turn 1 year old July 15th and again is my 1st monkey, but I hope to be able to consistently support my opinion and good experiences with her for years to come. I spoke with another capuchin owner the other day who has a 5 year old female and he's got many wonderful stories and made me think proactively about a few things I will apply.
