You know a guy has a problem when even the monkey on his back has a monkey on its back.

This story reminded me that David Schwimmer both played a character on Friends who had a monkey and that he was offered the role of Neo in The Matrix.

Ditto with what @RickMycroft said

I wonder how anybody, no matter how addled would thing that the impulsive, difficult to deal with behavior of a monkey would be improved by dosing it with meth.

Isn’t that basically the standard treatment for ADHD, or at least the hyperactivity bit?

Just to be clear, this is not an “emotional support monkey”. It is an “emotional abuse monkey”. Fucking asshole, addiction or no.

That’s what I was thinking too. After reading the linked article, it said “amphetamines” which includes Adderall. It also said that his apartment was searched, and there was no mention of narcotics found, but they seized his prescriptions. So, it’s possible that the monkey accidentally ingested an adderall. I know it’s quite a reach, but it’s possible.

Thank you. We have got to stop implicitly validating assholes like this and the predatory clinicians who enable them. There are people with real needs and emotional support animal guidelines are clearly spelled out. This is just an abusive piece of shit with a monkey.
