My Child Is A Monkey

There are around 20,000 private primate owners in the USA and, for a few thousand of them their monkey is not a pet. It’s their child. Their ‘monkid’. My Child Is A Monkey looks at the dark side of the growing monkid phenomenon and, through the monkid families and the wider monkid industry, explores the challenges, problems and immoral practises inherent in private primate ownership,and looks at how far these primates have come from their natural habitat and lifestyle in the treetops into the human world of concrete, aircon, junk food and diapers.
