Is it illegal to have a pet chimpanzee in newyork?

Don't own them please. Get a smaller primate like a bushbaby or something. They will probably be fine for a while but then they will change and most likely cause some type of damage to you or someone around you. And then there will be even more exotic pet laws so that more people cant own the extocis they want. Don't get any big primates please..I don't think they are legal in that whole state anyways, but i could definetely be wrong.
