    My takeaway was that having a chimpanzee as a pet is fine and so is giving them benzos but what you should really avoid doing is giving them a Tickle Me Elmo doll.

      Afaik they have a history of sudden violent behavior so I wouldn’t try it. There’s calmer apes to choose from, though I would argue holding apes as pets is in most cases kinda fucked up anyway unless you are some sort of sanctuary that’s taking care of orphaned ones that wouldn’t survive in the wild.
