Grammy Award winner Justin Bieber has been told by the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA) that he would be “irresponsible” to get another monkey. He previously had capuchin monkey OG Mally, but the animal was taken off him by officials, when he travelled to Germany in 2013, and put into quarantine. Now, NAPSA has issued a statement urging Bieber to turn his attention to a different pet as he cannot provide the care a monkey needs. “Please do not repeat this foolish endeavour. It is simply not possible to fulfill the unique needs of your monkey within a private home... It will prove dangerous to both you and your monkey, as well as irresponsible when it comes to your public following,” read the statement. Recalling what happened, Bieber said: “Everybody told me not to bring the monkey. I was like, ‘It’s gonna be fine, guys!’ It was farthest from fine.”
