A tribute to the Kardashian animals you may have forgotten

Kris Jenner: Going ape over monkey business
Kris Jenner is famed as a mom and manager.
But we will never forget when the Keeping Up With The Kardashians momager got into monkey business.
Literally.
In episode 9 of the third season, titled “Leaving the Nest,” Kim Kardashian and her sisters got concerned that Kris was suffering from empty nest syndrome.
Now Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe could have encouraged their mom to become a foster parent, whether to young kids or babies, or to volunteer at an animal shelter.
But in true Keeping Up With The Kardashians fashion, the Kardashian sisters went for an over-the-top choice in bringing Kris a monkey to compensate for having her kids grow up and leave home.
As Now To Love pointed out, the episode seemed highly scripted, with Jenner coming to the aw, gosh, who’d had thought it realization that keeping Suzy the furry baby wasn’t a wise move.
Kim later had to apologize for unveiling publicity photos of the entire clan posing with Suzy mere days after a show business chimp went wild.
“The pictures I posted are from six months ago when we were filming season three of Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” Kardashian explained on her website. “I had held onto these pictures for months and preset them to run the month before my show was going to air, to give you guys exclusive glimpses into season three.”
Kim then called the attack “devastating” and shared that she and her mother “cried” learning about the situation. She added that she did not mean to “insult or offend anyone by posting these pictures.”
Where was PETA when you needed them?
