The Resume

    (circa May 9, 2006- )
    Born in Florida
    Capuchin monkey
    Resided in Rockville, Maryland
    Was seized from owner Elyse Gazewitz by authorities and held as a illegal resident (May 2007)
    Was focus of a legal battle to be returned to his owner (May 2007)

Why he might be annoying:

    He cost his owner over $10,500 in purchasing and living arrangement costs.
    He had his own custom made home addition equipped with tire swings, toys and a hammock.
    He used infant clothing, equipment and care items including diaper rash ointment.
    He would become very loud and upset whenever his owner would leave him until she returned.
    His owner admitted to treating him more like a child than a monkey.
    There was a dispute over his actual birth and purchase date which affected the legality of his owner's possession of him.
    His owner was so attached to him that she was arrested and charged with civil violations for interfering with authorities while he was being seized.
    His owner could not eat or sleep after he was taken away and was forced to pay over $3,100 in fines and zoo boarding costs until the issue was legally resolved.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His owner was reported to authorities by a wildlife sanctuary after she asked a worker for monkey care advice.
    There was no evidence of abuse or neglect of him as had been reported by the sanctuary.
    His owner claimed to have proof that he was born and purchased before a cutoff date for legally owning exotic pets.
    He and his owner did daily activities together which included grooming and watching television.
    There was public concern for his separation from his owner regardless of the legal issues.
