Justin Bieber's Pet Monkey Still Detained In Germany With No Home

The pop star’s management have asked authorities to find a "safe and sheltered place, or a zoo" for the baby monkey, which was taken from its mother at just a few weeks, The Sun reports.

The tiny Capuchin monkey has been keep in quarantine since it was seized from Bieber, who tried to bring it into Germany without any paperwork or health certificates on March 28. The monkey was a 19th birthday gift from a music producer friend of Bieber's, and was taken from its mother at just nine weeks - which experts say is far too young.


Bieber has been given until May 17 to claim Mally or give him up to be rehomed. He recently thanked the animal clinic looking after Mally for their help, but has not made any plans about its future, Bild reports.

The animal centre boss said the lonely ape is at risk of suffering severe psychological problems if it is continued to be kept in isolation in quarantine. It repeatedly cries out from its cage, calling for companionship, vets say.
