Woman with 30 monkeys challenges sanctuary ban
A Knoxville woman who has legally cared for 30 monkeys in her home and backyard is opposing a proposed city ordinance that would limit households to four animals, including monkeys. The ordinance aims to reduce noise, sanitation issues, and safety concerns in residential areas by aligning restrictions for exotic animals with those for cats and dogs. The woman, licensed and experienced in monkey rescue, plans to challenge the ordinance and potentially relocate if it passes, citing her dedication and long-term commitment to her animals. Experts highlight the dangers and ethical concerns of keeping primates as pets in home environments.
