Cunning Capuchins by Bradley Louw 

No such thing as a successful pet monkey. If you study Primatology you'll see the signs of maternal deprivation on Boo such as digit sucking (he sucks his fingers all the time) self grasping and rocking....... Baby Capuchins stay on their Mom's backs for 2 years, Boo was stolen from his mother when he was 3 days old. There is no way that you can take an animal as smart or social as a monkey from it's mother and it not have a negative impact on their psyche. Also, you are watching about 2 minutes of his life, why do you think Pete removed his testicles and canine teeth?

@@JusticeFortheSilenced i totally agree with you, I think its terrible to keep these animals as pets

@@brinalea7778 I am glad people like you exist.

@@JusticeFortheSilenced that monkey is happy n u can't tell me any difference n monkey boo was not stolen stupid.that monkey was bred to be a pet

They are pretty d*** smart and understand a lot n a lot of these other monkeys are not as smart as what people say..they're smart for an animal and they can do things that some animals can't because they have hands and arms and legs but They're still pretty stupid compared to people

This comment makes no sense. Primates are a large group of various different animals with completely different diets ranging from almost exclusive carnivore (such as the insect eating lorises) to exclusive herbivore (such as gorillas). Among primate species, the vast majority are herbivores that eat primarily fruits, leaves, seeds, and roots. Depending on species, many eat insects. The consumption of meat other than insects is the exception for primates, not the rule. Species that sometimes catch and eat small animals include some monkeys, chimpanzees, and obviously humans. Biologically speaking, humans are natural vegetarians that have become opportunistic omnivores due to technology. Our systems are not biologically designed to eat raw animal flesh, but the implementation of fire for cooking has enabled us to take advantage of eating meat, and has served us very well (this ability to cook and consume meat is thought to be what enabled our brains to evolve from chimp size to the size they are now). TLDR yes humans are omnivores, but we're also perfectly designed to sustain a vegan diet too, and your primate argument is silly given that veganism is common among primate species.

@@mchevre Just can't accept that some animals including us are biological omnivores. Chimpanzees yes eat a lot of vegetation, fruits, nuts, termites but they also hunt & eat monkeys, bush babies, wild pigs, and small antelope.

@@mchevre Oh and veganism is a human thing/invention. No other animals are vegan not even herbivorous ones.

Then which is? They're speaking just of monkeys, not including apes (like obviously apes are smarter than capuchins). I can't think of a non-ape monkey species smarter than the capuchins, but perhaps I'm wrong.

Then name a monkey species, not including any of the apes, that is smarter than the capuchin. Like, maybe the macaque? Maybe the spider monkey? My money is still on the capuchin though.
