Facebook, Instagram groups and websites selling endangered animals in the UAE have been outed.<\/p>\n

An investigation by Gulf News<\/a> revealed some pages are charging as little as AED1,900 for a marmoset monkey, a species of monkey that can live as a domestic animal, however animal rights activists deplore the action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe animal costs Dh1,900. We will deliver it to you any where in the UAE in less than 24 hours”<\/h3>\n

You can have a monkey delivered to your door at a fee according to the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell-trained marmoset monkeys, tamed and ready for a new home.”<\/p>\n

\u201cMarmoset and capuchin monkeys for sale. They are very playful with kids and get along with other pets. They are also potty trained. Please contact for more information if interested.\u201d<\/p>\n

These animals are NOT pets<\/h3>\n

These beautiful animals reach sexual maturity at five-years-old and at this point can become dangerous and destructive. It’s common for people to adopt monkeys as babies and ‘re-home’ later on. This is horrific for the welfare of the animal.<\/p>\n

These animals are endangered and the action needs to stop<\/h3>\n

The UAE has strict rules regarding the buying and selling of exotic animals<\/a>. And while these monkeys do not fall under this brackets, residents need to be aware of the ongoing malpractice. These animals are not pets. And buying\/selling them online is just wrong.<\/p>\n
