How do you get a pet chimpanzee?

Do you have to have a special permitt or anything and where can you go to get one? How much does it cost?|||You most likely have to have a permit. You would have to go to an exotic animal company to obtain one. Just look it up on the internet, but do A LOT more research before you do that. They are very expensive, and it is like having a 2 year old all the time. The website below gives some information. This website says that "buying a chimp comes at a price way beyond the $30,000 to $40,000 you'll need to purchase a chimp." Unless you have a lot of experience with exotic animals and know someone who will be able to walk you through it, I would suggest trying an animal that was a little more tame.|||You can't own a chimpanzee to the best of my knowledge.They do grow up and are far stronger than they look especially when they reach sexual maturity.|||first of all by finding out if that's legal where you live!!!!|||Why on earth would you want one? When you see cute little chimps, that's what they are babies. Do you know they grow to be over 5 feet tall? You really need to know what you're doing before you get one and yes in most states you need a permit. Please look into this further. I am not putting you down, just trying to give you some facts. All the best....|||Why in the world would you want one? Please do some serious research about these guys. You will have an extremely difficult time to have a vet see them. They're full of diseases, very messy, and can get very mean. But don't get your information from here. Go to a government sponsered website and get information.|||srry chimps are illegal 2 own as pets try a dog .
