The Monkey Whisperer

Do you have an unruly monkey? Lisa Whiteaker, a professional pet monkey trainer, can come to your rescue:

Whiteaker, 48, has been a monkey trainer since 1992, and her specialty is privately owned pets. She rehabilitates monkeys adopted by people with no primate experience—customers who, in her words, “saw The Hangover Part II and thought, ‘I want a monkey too!’” By her own estimate, she’s “fixed” 6,700 monkeys so far in her 20-year career, not just in the U.S.: She’s traveled from South Africa to Mexico to Panama to the United Kingdom, and she Skypes with hundreds of troubled monkeys and their owners every week. But getting an appointment to see her isn’t easy. “I’m completely booked until March or April of 2013,” she says.

this is heart breaking. can something be done for these bears? i mean, is there someplace we can send money or even more hats to help out? perhaps we could get a volunteer to sort the donated hats according to size so that the hat can be matched to the size of the bear. come on, it's 2007 people! this is totally preventable!

give, won't you?
