"Hello my name is Dr. Sian Evans. I'm a scientist at Monkey Jungle in Miami, Florida. In this clip I am going to talk about how to research the laws concerning monkeys as pets. Many years ago there were no laws about holding monkeys as pets. Monkeys were imported from all over the world and individuals could purchase them as pets. This is no longer the case. Not only can monkeys not be imported from overseas, there are also many states and local authorities that do have regulations which either limit or in some cases ban private ownership of primates. In order to learn more about regulations that might effect your locality I suggest you contact individuals at U.A.P.P.E.A.L. which does have a website and Uappeal is spelled U.A.P.P.E.A.L. and they can give you the most up to date information. Legislation is constantly changing. This is Dr. Sian Evans."
