ChillChick: Not only is keeping a chimp CRUEL, but where you live it is ILLEGAL too!
Asides to the cruelty & legalality issues, chimps can also be very aggressive, extremely complex & very territorial & they can carry disease communicable to humans. You have said you have a small child! Not very responsible!
My blood is boiling at the very fact you have a primate which such a close relative to humankind as a PET! Im utterly disgusted!!
