Monkey to stay at sanctuary for time being

Darwin the celebrity monkey will stay at an animal sanctuary for the time being, according to news reports. CP24 says this morning that an Ontario Superior Court judge has found that the much fussed over little fellow would stay at Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary in Sunderland near Toronto until his ownership is determined. Ownership seems like an obvious question. As many will know, importing and keeping of monkeys is prohibited in Canada. It seems a reasonable legal question as to whether anyone can claim legal ownership.  Those saddened by this development may take solace in the knowledge that monkeys have no concept of Christmas.
