In the wild, a baby monkey would never sleep alone in a box. It would sleep with its mother and siblings.

Rhesus macaques, like many macaques, carry the herpes B virus. This virus does not typically harm the monkey, but is very dangerous to humans in the rare event that it jumps species, for example in the 1997 death of Yerkes National Primate Research Center researcher Elizabeth Griffin.

Monkey is one of the worst pets you can have. I just list out a few nightmares you will be having:
1. Monkey has insane energy. Their species never slow down. Once it get tired, it sleeps immediately. So monkeys will jump around all day long non stop.
2. Monkey screams. They have a high pitch voice and they screams all the time. So prepare to hear the sound of nails scratching window every single day.
3. Monkey loves to call themselves the boss. Once you leave the house for a while, say few weeks, it will declare itself to be the boss of the house. After it does that, it will stop listen to you. And you will have to re-dominate it.
4. Monkey throws shits. Shits throwing is a way of monkey showing distaste or simply pranking you.
5. You cannot get sick. Most human disease will be transmitted to monkey and there isn't many vets who can treat monkeys. So a common cold that you have will be a dead sentence to it.
6. Prepare to lose all your friends. You can never leave the house and no one can visit you since the monkey will probably bite the shit out of them.
7. A lot of monkey masturbation in the house. When monkey is bored, it masturbates. So that thing could jerk off all the times in front of you. If you are into it, then it is a totally different story.

I can’t imagine any legitimate rescue group that would work with primates would “adopt them out” because they recognize that they are wild animals. So,if you want a pet monkey you’re almost certainly buying one through an exotic animal broker, and I’m sure they are at least as slimy as any non-ethical breeder.
If you want a small sweet-faced pet that loves to clown and can be trained to do tricks, get a fucking Bichon Frisé.
And for the record, “I hate breeders! I’m a rescue mama!” is like a top five frau talking point these days.

R78, this is just my opinion, but I think that chimp’s owner was a twisted bitch. Remember how Jeffrey Dahmer was trying to create submissive sex-zombies out of the boys/men he got his hands on? Like that. Like she wanted domination over this inferior being, but she also treated it as a human companion. Probably some kind of zoophile.
