Metro Primate Services is Not the Best Choice for Your Christmas Tree Monkey in Portland

Lex Loeb
If you don't live in Portland Oregon you may not yet be aware of the Christmas Tree Monkey Phenomenon if it has not spread to your town yet. It started out as a fad when local rock and roll stars started the trend of keeping a least one live spider monkey in their living room Christmas tree. It started out as a Darwinian anti Christmas joke and progressed as an out of control fad when local wing nuts chained their pet spider monkey near the top of their Christmas tree and placed a silver plastic Darwin fish on top of the tree. The first Christmas monkey created nothing but controversy and charges of animal abuse until the aesthetics of having a live Christmas tree monkey went mainstream. Local primate research centers began to realize there was money in renting out Christmas tree monkeys for the holidays and it gave the research subjects a break from their caged existence for medical research purposes. What a great gift --temporary freedom of sorts for the holidays when researchers tend to be away from their labs for Christmas. Renting out monkeys instantly solved the problem of bunnies and chicks sold at easter time that are later abandoned by their owners after the holiday season. Local new age Christian groups in the Portland area immediately saw the logic in having a live Christmas tree monkey as a way of making Christmas greener causing a phenomenon where there were not enough monkeys to go around for all those who wanted one in their Christmas tree.

Metropolitan Primates Services Corp started to capitalize on the trend finding it could rent out a single baby research spider monkey for over $600 for just two weeks. The baby spiders are very amenable to people and they love living in a Christmas tree especially after it was realized that they would not leave the tree nor need to be chained to it if fresh ripe fruit was hung in the tree as Christmas ornaments. Because the monkeys come from primate labs some of them come with implanted magnetic electrodes in their head for future lab experiments. This can make monkeys extra tame for Christmas tree displays. There is nothing like having active baby monkeys as live Christmas tree decorations which is why it has become a 100 million dollar a year growth industry. The monkeys get a break from their caged lab existence during the holidays before they resume being experimented on and the families renting them feel they are being extra green for Christmas. For those with more ostentatious tastes there are baby Chimps and Baboons for larger Christmas tree displays. Families spend more time at home during the holidays keeping the trees decorated with fresh ripe fruit ornaments. Christmas trees can still have regular ornaments and lights because monkeys are wise and they only try biting into these once and then never again. With enough ripe fruit in the tree, Christmas monkeys only need a pan of fresh water at the bottom of the tree. People find that if they have pets like cats and dogs the monkeys spend more time at the highest parts of the Christmas tree.which adds to the holiday festivities. Don't waste your new age green Christmas celebration on a doped up monkey from Metropolitan Services go for the real monkey even if it costs a little more.

Metropolitan Primate Services has the bad habit of doping up their spider monkeys on something like Valium which makes them a lot more lethargic that the monkeys available from competitors like Xmas-X Monkeys LTD and Acme Christmas Monkey of Beaverton. You can also get a discount of renting a Christmas Chimp that can save you a couple of thousand bucks by Going To GW Bush Christmas Chimps in Estacada or Ancestral Darwin Christmas Monkeys at the local malls. The Ancestral Darwin Christmas Monkey Company trains their chimps and baboons to ring small Christmas bells which is cost no more than getting a drowsy looking primate from the Metropolitan Primate Services in NE Portland. It is worth driving further to rent a better monkey and they may even let you keep yours till New Years at no extra cost. If you want to populate your Christmas tree with an entire ecosystem be sure to ask for compatible monkeys that are young enough to spend time playing in the tree with each other. The best trees in Portland have as many as 30 baby Christmas monkeys in one tree. Ancestral Darwin Monkey paper trains their spider monkeys and their larger primates are actually toilet trained if you leave the seat up for them. Xmas-X offers trained singing monkeys that get to listen to rain forest calls before being rented out which definitely improves the home ecological experience. Only rent your monkeys from Metropolitan Services if you have no other choice because you waited to long to rent yours and everyone else is out of them for the season. Xmas-X monkeys come with several free boxes of authentic fresh ripe tropical fruits that remind the rentals of life in their native habitat. It is nice to give research monkeys a kind authentic break from their eventual life in medical experimentation.

Never rent the disco monkeys implanted with Parkinsons disease DNA Metropolitan Services rentals unless for Christmas these are only for shaking disco parties. Xmas-X Monkeys come with a good health and utility guarantee and replacement warranty that no other Christmas monkey company in town offers. Once you have rented from one of the better competitors you will never go back to Metropolitan Services. Xmas-X also offers color dyed pastel easter bunnies , chicks and baby ant eaters in season so you never need to abandon a temporary holiday season pet again. You just rent them for as long as you need them and then they go back to work in the local medical research industry. Another reason to avoid dealing with Metropolitan Services is the animal rights lunatics are usually camped out in front of their drive though rental window protesting and they try to ruin your Christmas monkey cheer. Out in Beaverton there are ordinances against Animal rights protesters which makes it much safer to rent over there. There is nothing like the good spirit of a green Christmas with a nice monkey in your tree.
