Poor little squirrel monkey. I hate to see them stuck into little cages. Good shot, and very poignant.
We had four of them when I was a child, and had a nice home for them in the form of a floor-to-ceiling cage that was 8x6 foot wide by deep, with lots of perches and branches to play in. They were happy, fun little critters. Two of them became quite tame and friendly in the time we housed them.
We had them on loan for a few months from a friend who was in charge of quarantining newcomers to one of the local zoos. He'd always call my father when he ran out of room, so we had a long series of very interesting "pets" like this, including a pair of ocelot cubs and, my favorites, a pair of Hyacinth Macaws.
