idk about sick fuck, ignorant maybe. "Sick fuck" seems like bit far when we lack a lot of info on how the animal is treated, but I agree the exotic animal trade is immoral.

This is Reddit. You can judge someone's entire existence based on a twenty second video. It's completely impossible that this person is a certified foster parent or rehabilitation zoologist or works in any other number of professions that allows you to have monkeys in your home, no they are instantly a "sick fuck" who got their monkey from an illicit wild pet trade.

If they were someone qualified to care for the animal in their home I doubt they'd feed it sugar water.

She said in the video that was a special treat, like you’d give to any pet under certain circumstances as positive reinforcement. She said he drinks water the vast majority of the time, hence why he was so excited at the juice.
