All right, if you were scrolling through Western New York Facebook Marketplace this week, you may have noticed there was a post of a man attempting to sell a marmoset in Buffalo.
For those who are not familiar with a marmoset, it's like a small little monkey-looking creature.
Are they technically monkeys? I don't know.
Let me see.
But they're adorable.
Yeah, they're primates.
Okay, they are primates.
And they are tree-dwelling.
And they are...
They're really cute, tiny little things.
Sometimes you'll see pygmy marmosets, different kinds.
Well, some people are like, wait a second, you're trying to sell that on Facebook Marketplace? Surely that's not legal.
Can't be legal.
I'm not sure if someone tipped the police off to this, but...
Oh.
So then they were like, we should have an investigation about this.
And they're like, okay, this guy does not have a permit.
So they went undercover for the marmoset, Anthony.
Undercover for the marmoset?
They were like, okay, we'll buy it for $7,000.
Operation
free the set.
