Hmmm. If nothing else, I would the squirrel monkey poses a significant health risk. I looking into volunteering at a primate sanctuary and was told I needed to be vaccinated against Hepatitis B. They also can give a pretty nasty bite, although I imagine these poor critters are de-fanged… For more info about zoonoses and bites, check out: http://www.junglefriends.org/private_sector.shtm
