PETA wants investigation of Dez Bryant’s “possibly illegal possession” of a monkey

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, along comes a call for an investigation into Dez Bryant’s monkey.
Bryant posted a picture of himself with a tiny capuchin monkey that he called “Dallas Bryant” and his new best friend in the photo’s caption. That caught the eye of animal rights groups, who spoke to TMZ Sports to say that it was “completely irresponsible” to have such an animal as a pet and that Bryant “will live to regret it.”
There’s no confirmation that Bryant is keeping the animal as a pet (although he wouldn’t be the first Cowboy wideout to do so), but now PETA has also waded into the story. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the organization has asked Desoto, Texas Animal Control to look into Bryant’s “possibly illegal possession” of a monkey.
“Monkeys belong in the wild — not [for] football players who acquire exotic animals just to make a splash on Instagram,” Brittany Peet of PETA said.
We’ll see how things play out for little Dallas Bryant, but hopefully we’ll get to the really important business and find out if he thinks Dez caught the ball in Green Bay last season.

Thank you NFL media, et al, for devolving the greatest game on the planet into an over saturated, Skankdashian reality circus. Mark Cuban is right, the hog is ready for slaughter…….
--------
I side with PETA. Bryant can hardly look out for himself let alone another creature. However maybe the monkey will be a mentor to him

PETA – People Eating Tasty Animals

Leave the guy alone. Everybody’s got something to hide except for Dez Bryant and his monkey.

That monkey would get better care than the goldfish in Frenchy Fuqua’s plexiglass high heeled shoes got.
-------
Anyone with “illegal possession of a monkey” on their rap sheet has my respect.

PETA are quite possibly the worst human beings on the planet
As far as the monkey, I don’t like the name at all. I’ve always felt a pet monkey should be named Booker (and he should be dressed in the same, smaller version, clothes as the owner) but that’s just me. But besides that, points for Dez!
