A woman in New Orleans was convicted of animal cruelty for keeping monkeys dressed as pirates.
In July 2011, this woman was convicted of cruelty to monkeys over this whole thing. All right, well, that's trouble. She didn't have permits to have the monkeys. They were being used as street performers. That's an issue. And a Department of Wildlife and Fisheries spokesman said, quote, the monkeys were in poor health overall with a diaper rash, dehydration, and piercings.
