If you’re the same age as me you may well have a similar photo tucked away somewhere. I’m awfully glad we don’t do this anymore.

@CatherineRussell2 I didn’t meet any little monkeys in clothes like these, but a man brought his (unclothed) albino chimpanzee to play on the “monkey bars” at my school, and my kindergarten teacher invited them in. We sat in a circle and the chimpanzee gently shook hands with each of us. I was probably wearing the same shoes you have on in the picture. I can’t believe people were allowed to keep chimpanzees as pets. Different times.
@tracytwilson @CatherineRussell2 You know what annoys me the most, is seeing Australia's native animals being used as pets in other countries. Mainly kangaroos being walked around on a lead and inside people's lounge rooms. We don't even do that here that I am aware off. 😡
