Can I keep a lemur as a pet?
<|assistant|>
No, lemurs cannot be kept as pets. According to the regulations enforced by the United States Department of Agriculture, it is illegal to keep certain species of primates as pets. Keeping lemurs as pets is also considered to be cruel as they are sensitive to their environment and need special housing and care that is not typically available to a pet owner. Additionally, many of these species are considered threatened or endangered and keeping them as pets may impact the survival of their species.
