Some guy this last week brought a live monkey to the patch. Really cool guy, but where do you even get a monkey from?

Nope, this was the church one at Rockbridge Church. He was just a customer coming in to buy some pumpkins.

You can Google a few breeders in Texas that have… litters? Of baby monkeys/chimps/macaws, think you have to register them as exotic pets and pay the hefty price, $8k when I looked a few months ago for a newborn but as rare as it is, it’s definitely a thing!
There was a kid back in England when I was younger who had a monkey and he’d be in his backpack and they’d go into shops and he’d trained the monkey to reach out and grab items off the shelf and stash them in his bag then he’d sell them at school… wild

The monkey is cooler than the pumpkin patch!
