Afaik they have a history of sudden violent behavior so I wouldn't try it. There's calmer apes to choose from, though I would argue holding apes as pets is in most cases kinda fucked up anyway unless you are some sort of sanctuary that's taking care of orphaned ones that wouldn't survive in the wild.
So do I just cut the benzos in half for the calmer apes?
Throw them yourself so you won't feel it so much when the ape mauls your face off.
