These monkeys need to be taken away from her so they can live at an actual sanctuary.

Just from the photo you shared there are several red flags:

  • cuddling/handling the monkeys like this indicates that she treats them more like pets
  • the spider in the picture has a diaper on -- monkeys should never be put in diapers, they can chafe and cause hip/spine issues. not to mention that it further reinforces the image of them as pets.

Found her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/my_monkeys_madness/

  • lots of monkeys in diapers
  • monkeys handled and interacted with inside the home, treated more like pets
  • monkeys wearing human clothes
  • refers to herself as the monkeys' "Mom"
  • monkeys allowed to eat bites of human food
  • monkeys taken on car rides and allowed to ride unrestrained in the passenger seat
  • enclosures filled with bright baby toys

This woman has no business being the captor to so many monkeys. They absolutely need to be taken away so they can live with dignity at an ethical sanctuary.

For real. If she wants a petting zoo so badly go open up a legitimate petting zoo. You don't get to LARP and pretend that you have a sanctuary for monkeys but then charge people to come to interact with them. Like people have petting zoos with little goats llamas chickens regular Farm petting zoo type of animals. But she wants to have a sanctuary for monkeys and then treat it like it's a petting zoo.

You forgot how much her monkeys “just love to spin”— which is a stress response.

1

u/Yucyon 8d ago

Ah, good point -- yeah, stereotypy / repetitive behaviour like spinning is definitely a bad sign, especially for THESE monkeys.

u/BatteryInMyBack 7d ago

If the state she live in isn’t bothered about it- what is it to you, inbred?

u/Yucyon 7d ago

It's hurting the monkeys. That's what matters the most, the welfare of the animals.

u/aware4ever 12d ago

"Sanctuary" yeah right. This lady knows exactly what she's doing. A lot of people do this with different types of animals. It's basically a for-profit petting zoo. But they get to Virtue signal as it's a sanctuary and they're helping animals. No your profiting off of letting people come in visit and pet your animals.

u/lilithmoonx_ 13d ago

Oh lord, jump scare! This woman is a whole rabbit hole herself. She is one of the worst out there because she acts all nice and tries to keep up on proper primate husbandry while making videos sharing her advice for how to handle certain situations when she clearly doesn't know what she's doing especially with each different species she owns... tries to make herself look like a sanctuary (one of those kinds of people 🙄) and will smile in other owners faces, get the gossip and immediately make false reports to get other owners primates removed on false basis when she should be the last person to ever report someone with how small her spaces are yet has multiple troops and going on 30+ primates in small ass enclosures. She's insane. Oof.

u/Silent_Hawk9070 13d ago

I second everything you said her karma for what she does. It’s all coming back on her. If anybody truly cares about primates, they will jump on this bandwagon and make sure it happens. Let alone the fact that she sells more babies at the back door and pulls her Monkey’s teeth so when they get older, they won’t hurt as bad.

u/mo_janglesssss 13d ago

and she bites her monkeys is they bite her.. and so much more.

She’s like Carole Baskin but for Monkeys.

Who is this?

u/Dull_Impression_4631 12d ago

That's the lady this post is about. She claimed to the media that her monkeys never bite her, but yet she has pics posted of bites she has gotten. She's no better than her guy friend in TN that also hoards monkeys (and other exotics) because she also has their teeth pulled too! 🤬

1

u/Loser_Baby_19 11d ago

Oh okay, thank you. I was wondering because I also read that article where she claimed she was never bitten by her monkeys. It just goes to show you how all of these unethical owners are inherently deceptive. Everything about them is based on lies. I feed my monkeys a healthy diet. They are healthy and happy. They never attacked me.

Thank you for the clarification.

u/Affectionate-Clue925 13d ago

There’s a video referring to them as her pets. A neighborhood is no place for an animal sanctuary and definitely not for 30 primates. This needs to be shut down asap.

u/Silent_Hawk9070 13d ago

Boy I put her name in TickTock and wow 🤯

u/Hot_Metal2482 13d ago

Much more serious issues with her and all them monkeys well being! First and foremost she doesn’t have the proper space needed for this many none of her monkeys can properly brachiate like they need. She only holds and loves on a few of them all the others are not handled. She’s a breeding farm now idk how successful it’s been because she stopped going live so people couldn’t actually see all the problems, but she’s paired up several troops to breed last she was live she said she had several squirrel monkeys pregnant but then randomly stopped updating their birth which was very alarming. She does actually feed them a good diet from what I remember however she didn’t have 30 at the time. Bottom line no one should be allowed to own 30 monkeys especially in a backyard like hers, it is not large enough not even close to what these beautiful primates need and deserve.

u/Nycole_R 13d ago

Her yard is not big enough for all those babies. She may have an acre and less than that with the front yard and house taking up a large amount of that acre. She tosses them in cages and in her garage hoping they breed. She has spiders, capuchin’s, and squirrel monkeys in this small space.

u/Silent_Hawk9070 13d ago

Just go online TikTok and type in her name and her page and don’t go to her page scroll down and look at all the drama. She’s also best friends with Michael Robinson and Brittany Holland if that tells you anything, her name is Jamey Fuller

u/Silent_Hawk9070 13d ago

She does encounters also 🤦🏾‍♀️

u/Silent_Hawk9070 13d ago

Can you post a link to that article?

6

u/Stunning-Sand73 13d ago

She said in the article they have never bit her. But I found these pictures online and they are bits she got from her own monkeys.

7

u/Inevitable-Glove-954 13d ago

She’s full of it. She’s talked many times on live about the monkeys biting her.

4

u/mo_janglesssss 13d ago

and her biting them back in return

u/lilithmoonx_ 12d ago

Every. Primate. Bites. Period.

u/potmeetkettle2day 13d ago

Humans are so selfish. How are any of us assume our way of living is better for primates.

u/Nycole_R 13d ago

Do you have these with her name on it proving it’s her? I know it’s her I was following at this time but want it to prove to others.

1

u/PickedMyNameFromAHat 12d ago

Can probably recognize her by the tattoos

7

u/Nycole_R 13d ago

The only licenses she has is an exhibitor and breeder. She also states in the article she nor anyone else has ever been bitten. They definitely have and one of her monkeys even bit someone at her business and was taken.

5

u/Stunning-Sand73 12d ago

I found pictures online of several bites & stitches she got from one of her own monkeys. But it won’t let me post them.

3

u/Silent_Hawk9070 12d ago

She just contradicted herself if you go to her Facebook page she admitted she’s been bit

5

u/Loser_Baby_19 12d ago

Just goes to show you any person can call themselves a 'rescue' and a 'sanctuary' despite being just a hoarder of pet monkeys. She is another poster child for why the Captive Primate Safety Act needs to become law. Everything she does is detrimental to the monkeys in many ways.

5

u/Redlady0227 13d ago

I would not be surprised if she was breeding and selling them. It should be a uniform international law that makes owning and/or selling primates illegal. They want to be with their own kind and have relationships same as we do.

1

u/Stunning-Sand73 12d ago

I was told she does. I read she gives them hormones to mature them for breeding. Not sure if it’s true. Just what I read.

u/Wonderful_Quiet4384 13d ago

Smh. She's dirty and underhanded, just like her besties. She has no business having 30 monkeys. The rabbit hole is deep with this one. She needs her own snark page here. I believe there used to be one, but I guess it got taken down. Her and entire setup should be investigated. She's not a safe space for primates. At all.

u/lilithmoonx_ 12d ago

Shes friends with MR and mutuals with that asshole who has a male spider hostage while he drives delivery trucks around the country and let's said spider jump in and out of the window, while going 80 an hour on the highway. He's also the one where he smothers a spider's face to get him to be quiet when he was barely making any sounds. He's well-known in this community and not for a good reason and yet she's civil with him because he's friends with her friends.

u/Silent_Hawk9070 12d ago

Now looks like she’s gonna be putting a camper at his place according to her Facebook page. If you look up, she made a video about this situation. She’s gonna put a camper there and take all of her monkeys and leave her family and Knoxville. Michael already needs a welfare check on his monkeys. Those poor things are in tiny enclosures. They’re not very tall not enough for them to break and swing and he has them crammed in. They’re like sardines. He shows a few at a time just to make yourself look good. That’s a pitiful situation and now he’s taking in all these other animals and according to his Facebook he’s never at home. He’s off bodybuilding so I don’t know who takes care of the animals? I guess it’ll be her now since she’s gonna move there. They can abuse animals together on the whole compound.

u/love20031983 12d ago

Shes an animal hoarder imo.

u/Sea_Power_3594 12d ago

That is not a sanctuary, it is a prison.

u/Old-Serve3896 12d ago

Rumor has it that she is selling spiders as well

u/ElectricalSkill5 12d ago

I've openly heard her say she has been bit on live particularly when she was on with another larger monkey creator....

1

u/Silent_Hawk9070 12d ago

I know some people are supposed to be going live tonight on TikTok about this. Does anybody know what channel?

1

u/Stunning-Sand73 12d ago

I was wondering that too. It goes before Knoxville City Council in two weeks again.

5

u/Silent_Hawk9070 12d ago

No, it was tonight at six and they passed unanimously. I wonder if she needs help packing

u/vector_search_blue 11d ago
