PREFACE: The warning on spoilers freaked me out so I'll just always click it to be sure.
REVIEW: It is revealed in this episode that Marcel is an ILLEGAL EXOTIC pet. The gang tries to fight to get him back, but the reality is that there's usually--but not always--a reason that a certain 'pet' is illegal. It is selfish and irresponsible to try to domesticate a non- human primate in NEW YORK CITY. It's dangerous enough for humans. -- >Not to mention that in any state, if you are caught with an illegal non-human animal companion, they can/probably will confiscate it and euthanize it. So if one wants an exotic pet please get a permit or move to a state where it is legal. Otherwise every second is a risk to that animal's life and if that happens only you are to blame. It's pure selfishness.
DISCLAIMER: I love this show so much! This is really the only problem I have with it. Most people aren't dumb enough to take their parenting advice (pets are animals too) from a TV show, but because some are, this could be a dangerous inspiration.
