I'm sure stocks in imported monkeys have taken a hit recently. A fleshling was caught with eighteen monkeys hiding under his shirt. Of course the human claims they were pets.

So what will you do when the monkey market crashes and you can't get your fix?
Has investment of Faith in Humanity also dropped a few points?

I hope they shoot the guy. But he'll probably just get a slap on the wrist.

In Mexico probably not even that.  Depends on how much he bribes the judge for.

This reminded me of a joke about smuggling a squirrel in one's underwear...

... I really, really want to make a "slapping the monkey" joke here, but I can't figure out a good one...

I thought monkeys were spanked.

Eh.  I've never been much for euphemisms for masturbation.  So if I got it wrong, eh.

Death penalty for posession of monkies without a permit? Seems a bit harsh. Perhapes I'm missing something here, but whatever.

Not harsh at all its akin to poaching and id support a death penalty for poaching easily, very easily.

Being in posession of monkeys without pappers is like hunting game on land that does not belong to you and is not open to the public as a game preserve?

That does not even come into the general vicinity of making sense, aside from the fact that they both involve humans and non-human animals.

In large part it's in the "endangered". This is a man who is willing to risk the continued existance of an entire species of monkeys to make a few quick bucks.

It's like careless genocide, who cares about how many species of animals have to be extinct, as long as I get paid?

People like that are one of the main reasons why so many creatures have been reduces to photos, movies, or just stories and drawings. And that makes me sad, and angry.

Very well then, what if animals were killed to save your human lives? Such is the case with those damned geese that tend to enjoy being shredded by airplane turbines. New York had exterminated  throngs of the nasty buggers just to keep their air traffic relatively safe from large birds.

Did I ever mention I loathe geese?

I preffer my pillows soft and fluffy. ;)

But yeah,  I was scared of geese when I was a kid.

EDIT: Enjoy.

They annoy my parameters which label them as a nuisance. Ever swung a goose like an axe at another goose? It can be quite affective.

Do geese know humiliation? If so then I would be pleased were live geese used in the process of wiping between posteriors.
