Macaque Taken From Leukemia Patient

A 23-year old woman had a pet macaque that was recently taken away from her by authorities.? Primates are not allowed in the state of Pennsylvania where the woman lives without first acquiring a permit.

The woman states she has leukemia, a type of cancer, and only has 6 months to live.? She says the macaque was her therapy monkey and that she is miserable without it.? The family is going to appeal the judge's decision to call the primate illegal.

Do you think there should be separate laws for therapy animals versus pets?
