Someone’s definitely “monkey-ing” around. Wonder if that’s a “therapy” monkey or someone’s idea of a pet.
Justin Bieber must have had him confiscated at the airport again…
I thought it was illegal to own a monkey in Saint George…
No it’s illegal to dance in St George
You need a certificate of registration from the UDWR to keep it, and they don’t give them out often. Otherwise they are illegal to have in Utah.
