My father had a little Caputin monkey when he was younger. Said it was always getting into everything. But it was tiny and trained.
Chimps are a whole other matter, very few people have the time or resources to take proper care of them They just aren't pets IMO.
Pitbulls are good pets when they're raised properly. Any breed dog can attack. Golden retrievers bite more people than any other breed but people still have them for family pets.
