Okay, so she didn’t exactly marry the monkey (though she’s paying $1,300/month to support him.) Rockville, Maryland resident Elyse Gazewitz was on trial yesterday for illegally having a monkey as a pet. Since the animal was taken from her in May, she has had to pay boarding fees of $1,300/month to the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve in Thurmont, Maryland. Don’t worry, though, the judge granted her visitation rights. You can read more here.
