It appears that Justin Bieber was too busy monkeying (fnar fnar! etc) around on his world tour to bother claiming back his lonely little pet.
But the angry little Canadian popstar has finally got in touch with German authorities who obtained his capuchin monkey Mally when Justin failed to provide necessary travel documents for him.
Justin planned to bring Mally into Europe on his private jet but the pesky types at customs wanted to see a health certificate and more paperwork before they gave Mally a passport stamp.
At the time the airport’s spokesman said: “Justin Bieber brought his monkey to Germany, but had no official paperwork with him. We were forced to confiscate the animal.”
This particular breed of monkey is supposed to remain with its mother for at least the first year of life but Justin received the adorable pet when it was just nine weeks old.
Mally is currently in quarantine in a Munich animal sanctuary and will remain there until Justin finds time to collect him.
The animal shelter boss Karl Heinz Joachim (proving the theory that over 94% of German men are called Heinz) described the situation as "heartbreaking", explaining that it could be MONTHS before Mally is reunited with the Baby, Baby, Baby, Ohhhhhhhh singer.
He said: "Justin Bieber has won an extension because the four week limit on confiscated animals only applies if the owner does not get in touch.
"However his management team had been in touch and indicated that they want the monkey back which means they now have as much time as they need to get the paperwork ready.
"If that takes months then it's months that they have. But that just isn't acceptable - the baby monkey needs company and to be with other monkeys at this crucial age in its life.
"We appeal to the star to do the decent thing and let the monkey be free for adoption.
"There are a great many suitable places that have offered to take Mally and integrate him with their own capuchin monkeys where he would be much more happy with his own kind."
And backing 3am online's campaign for Justin to get a tamagotchi to keep him company, Karl Heinz concluded: "A baby monkey is not something suitable to be on a world tour even if he is travelling by private jet. He should be out in the wild climbing trees and learning from other monkeys if he isn't to have serious psychological problems later in life."
He added that if it took months to sort out the paperwork and Mally spent all that time was spent in a cage it could cause irreversible damage to the monkey's mental state.
Recently Justin's ex Selen Gomez hinted that her and the most famous boy on the planet might yet rekindle their relationship.
On the former Disney Princess's new single she sings:
This love ain’t finished yet ...
So baby whenever you’re ready… come and get it
Justin - we'd call that an invitation.
And considering he blamed his latest meltdown on the lack of Selena in his life, we think the ideal next step would be if Justin and Selena got back together, got matching tattoos and made a nice stable home for Mally the monkey. Who should probably be renamed Heinz.
