I’m happy for him but I wish he still had the coat.

With the coat, he could have been a monkey pimp at the sanctuary.

If you buy exotic pets your are contributing to animal cruelty. They wouldn’t be taken from their natural habitats if assholes did buy them.

I have/had veterinary friends who volunteered at Storybook Farm. They have a lot of rescues and post nice updates of all the monkeys.

The expression on his face is note baleful, its doleful. Baleful is full of anger and hate, doleful is sad and longing. I am fun at parties.

Also, stop anthropomorphizing the monkey. That's what started the problem in the first place.

We saw him when we toured the sanctuary a few years ago! All of the primates seem well cared for :)

Wasn't this where Arctic Monkeys got their name from?

No they've been around for a lot longer, this was in 2012 and their song "i bet that you look good on the dancefloor" was 2005

I’ve been on Imgur too long! This was also around the time of the Christ painting being restored. Good times!

He can probably ride a tricycle in exchange for cigarettes.

I'm reasonably confident the point of this entire thing was to remove the coat
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
he makes his own

That depends. Does Darwin still want his coat? Can he give it to Maximus?

Great coat. The best coat.
