The Wisconsin Primate Research Center (WPRC) does not condone the private ownership of primates as pets. Primates require professional, well-managed care. They are susceptible to both transmitting diseases to humans and contracting diseases from humans. People considering private ownership of primates should seek professional advice before making their decision. Primate Info Net links to some sites containing information for and advice to people who have primates as pets. The responsibility for the information contained and for the advice offered in these sites rests with the manager of each site. If you have questions about information presented on a site, please contact the manager of that Web site, not the WPRC. The WPRC accepts no responsibility for any information found at these or other sites linked to from Primate Info Net.
