Misfitland Monkey Rescue
Misfitland Monkey Rescue is dedicated to providing forever homes to domesticated monkeys that have been born in captivity right here in the USA.. The monkeys that come here have been raised like you would raise a human child.. All the fancy new toys, given warm bottles constantly, diapers changed, warm cute clothes, and fed daily without worry of anarchy and where they fit in on the entitlement of the most desired food/fruit and WHO gets what.. Humanized since birth these monkey have been protected by their humans.. They don't know how to show submission to the alphas.. They LOVE sleeping in a bed, watching television, laying on the couch, using pillows and blankets, their hair being combed, and overall mimicking any action they have seen someone do.. Opening doors, cabinets, drawers, refrigerator or freezer, cans, wrappers, bags, containers, etc acting like the humans they have watched their whole life and knowing the GOOD STUFF is in often hidden in there they will sneak into the forbidden places every given opportunity!! Having opposable thumbs gives them the same capabilities to do the things you do just as easily.. Oh yeah they are as strong as the average woman so heavy or hard don't stop them either.. They desire a LOT of the things they see people doing/using.. Cell phones, ear buds, jewelry, computers/lap tops etc. is extremely enticing to them.. Problem is no matter how young you start trying to teach them not to break/get these things that you both love so much it NEVER SINKS IN.. Even more so as adults their idea of fun is to snatch these items and to chew, break, bang, etc. until its in pieces.. Sometimes when you try to tell them NO, DON'T, DROP IT etc they can get aggressive about their unwillingness to relinquish the item becoming a ongoing fight that can end up costing them their home when they take it to far and bite someone.. Other ways deeply loved monkz ends up here is health issues of their owners.. OR living arrangements of their owners change and they aren't allowed to come.. OR the new boyfriend/girlfriend keeps getting bit, OR they smell, OR OR OR OR OR can AND DOES cost monkeys their home EVERY DAY leaving them no where to go except zoo's, sanctuaries, labs, lab breeders, or the places that put them on LOAN to educational research which is a fancy name for lab work.. The problem is these monkeys have STRONG HUMAN BONDS and NEED human interaction and things that relate to the ONLY LIFE THEY HAVE EVER KNOWN.. Here at Misfitland they have the interaction of humans, depending on aggression/safety as to how HANDS ON but they are NEVER totally without daily human interaction and bonding they want.. They also have television, soft beds hanging for sleeping, blankets, pillows, food, water, drinks, snacks, their own personal door to the outside where they have free range hunting, sunshine, swings, ropes, pool, and trampoline.. Our goal is for them to have the MOST COMFORTABLE monkey life as possible!! JUST LIKE THEY WAS PROMISED THE DAY THEY WAS BROUGHT HOME FROM THE BREEDER!! Not CHANGE THEM FROM EVERYTHING THEY KNOW to a downgraded life of scared to sleep because of being attack, fighting to eat each meal with many other stronger monkeys who know how to fight and have already established their dominance and are willing ready and able to show the new monk whos boss.. Seriously can you imagine THAT life for them??? AFTER YEARS OF BEING CENTER OF ATTENTION going to a life of hatred, no toys, no surprises, and even WORSE NO HUMAN CONTACT EVER other than when they are shot with tranquilizer darts/guns and sedated for veterinary care.. OFTEN after being surrendered the domesticated primate develops MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER.. They stop eating making them get very week leading to sickness and death.. Being sick or showing weakness is an invitation for trouble in the animal kingdom.. Monkeys are bullies and the weak gets picked on HARD.. Sad but true.. Here at Misfitland EVERY MONKEY and any other rescued animal (other than the birds) are fixed and can not produce life beyond their own with loads of room to roam peacefully!! They are here to live their life the best way they know and we can provide for them.. We want them to enjoying new things, animals/friends, and people.. We want to offer a educational place that people can come and learn about ADULT domesticated monkeys and their habits.. Our belief is KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and everyone deserves HONEST answers..
