Knoxville has introduced an ordinance limiting households to four pets—dogs, cats, or monkeys—effective January 1. City officials cite health, sanitation, and noise concerns as reasons for the measure. However, homeowner Jamie Fuller, who owns 30 monkeys, plans to relocate due to the new restriction. Zoo Knoxville has commented that monkeys, with their complex needs, are unsuitable as pets.
