I totally disagree. Primates shouldn't be kept in captivity period. They are wild animals that shoud stay in the wild, but if they are kept in homes then treating them as family can't be a bad thing, but then it depends on how you treat your family members really.
I treat my guide dog as a member of my family. In fact I'm closer to Jilli then any human I know. Of course she needs disapline sometimes but so do children.
