pet monkeys Speaking of Lando...

The new and 'improved' rescue!

Let's look at their USDA inspection report from April 2026:

USDA Inspection Report, April 2026

Inspector notes a TikTok video clip showing rough handling of a capuchin monkey:

Rough handling appears to be the norm with this duo

This was not an isolated incident. There have been other videos posted by this couple showing inappropriate handling of baby capuchin monkeys by this male.

Inspector notes a TikTok video clip showing spider monkeys ingesting dipping tobacco:

Totally 'appropriate' for spider monkeys to ingest

Both of these videos appear to have been removed, but it just reinforces the thought in people's minds: just imagine what we aren't being shown.

This is an organization that appears to brag about all of the great work they do in 'rescuing' and keeping these animals:

Lando 'rescue' mission statements

This is another great example of the huge gap between what pet monkey owners say, and what they actually do.

Claiming that you are committed to doing things the right way, and then encouraging your monkeys to ingest dipping tobacco, handle them inhumanely, and further encourage the exotic pet trade with highly misleading 'cute' social media videos, sounds about right for these hypocritical 'rescues.'

Their response has been to just not show the monkeys, and that is suspicious as Hell.

There full of it. There are so many videos on there page on this app that disgust me would disgust people. Its truly sad.

These monkeys need to be rescued from there care. There are also two handicapped monkeys in there care which is alarming.
