Apparently the monkey that’s been causing trouble for Paris Hilton isn’t a monkey at all, but rather a kinkajou that’s illegal to own in California.
The hotel heiress returned home from a trip to Las Vegas with her latest animal friend, even though it is illegal to keep the creatures as pets in Los Angeles.
“We’ll send them a letter just to let them know we’re aware they have a restricted species,” a spokesperson for the California Department of Fish and Game told Teen Hollywood.
Hilton’s representative Elliot Mintz explained, “Paris is a law-abiding citizen. If she receives a letter from the Fish and Game people, I’m sure it will be reviewed and acted upon accordingly.”
As long as whatever it is keeps on biting and clawing Paris’ face, I say we get a petition going around to let her keep the damn thing. It’ll only be a matter of months before we hear about Paris contracting rabies after her crazy kinkajou bites her in the leg. And you can’t put a price on Paris Hilton with rabies. You could try, but you’d just end up looking like an idiot.
Thanks to Linda for the tip.

Now, I’m not Croc Hunter but isn’t her vagina considered an illegal pet?

What the hell is that thing, some kind a dog-monkey?

Given her body’s predisposition to various diseases, she’ll probably shrug the rabies off in forty-eight hours.
And that animal probably has prettier feet than her…..

I can see “fish” and ‘gamey’ officials wanting to keep a close watch on Paris – but seriously – give the gal a break ! That’s really a pic of that Kelly Osbourne girl isn’t it ?

Hey Nikk, I’m more concerned for that kinkachoo’s health
Nikk The Templar | November 21, 2005 at 9:35 pm
You’re absolutely right, Georgia. Let us all pray for the poor little animal.

I’m positive Paris Hilton already has rabies. Wait, did I say rabies? I meant Hepatitis C.

I always imagined Paris as being like Mr Burns in that episode where they reveal Mr Burns has every disease in the world, but they are all in harmony and in fact keeping him alive.
I didn’t realise that was a pet, I thought she’d just given birth to the hilton/latsis love spawn. She was pregnant right? right?

Rumor has it that they’re preparing to send Paris’ pet back from whence it originated from.
I say let’s make it a two-for-one deal and deport both Paris and her Kinky Jew back to South America!

Paris is an idiot. She got Tinkerbell from a well known puppy mill. Dumped her on her mom when Tinkerbell didn’t end up being a “teacup” chihuahua (there is no such thing as a teacup type of pet, it’s a selling gimmick). So she has Bambi. The ferrets that she was carrying down the catwalk, hopefully aren’t her pets either becuase I think they are still illegal in CA (as are hamsters, surprisingly enough. Or was it gerbils? One of the two). It’s bad enough that she’s stupid, she’s also so stupid to support bad breeders of both dogs and exotic animals, and the money she pays for her so special dogs just goes to create more badly bred animals or animals that are bred that make really inappropriate pets. You can’t potty train a kinkajou. So it would basically run around her house crapping it up, or she’d have to cage it all day, which is cruelty as well.

Bite her in the leg? Don’t you mean bite her on the ass? Oh, but the Wildlife Dept already got there first.

What’s next, a sex tape of Paris and an African Spider Monkey?
HollyJ | November 23, 2005 at 9:02 pm
I just want to know… when this story was first reported, who the F confused a KINKAJOU for a spider monkey??? They don’t even RESEMBLE each other. One’s a monkey and one’s a furry tree raccoon. That reporter was almost as stupid as Hilton herself (almost).
