Here is what I am thinking...if you enjoy keeping any exotic pet, you will not support the ban on primates. Once the ban on interstate sales of primates is in place what will be next? My bet is reptiles, big, small dangerous or not. The problem is primates are dangerous we all agree with that, however they are cute and fuzzy. If legislation bans the purchases of these cute fuzzy “little people” how easy do you think it will be for lawmakers to turn to the scary "alien" reptiles that "are taking over the country".
Exotic animal owners must ban together to keep our hobbies/businesses/passions legal. I agree that large dangerous exotic animals should need a permit to keep, however, bans are never the answer. I personally would never own a primate of any kind and I think most people cannot care for them properly, however if they acquire the proper permits and take the appropriate steps to ensure the animal has the best quality life possible then they should be allowed to own them.
Just the same as hots and large snakes here in Florida. Personally, I have seen the conditions some large snakes are kept in and I think the permit system they have in place here is great.
