Imagine spending your whole life in a cage in someone’s backyard.💔 That’s the reality for many nonhuman primates across the United States. Nonhuman primates, such as monkeys and apes, are highly intelligent and sensitive animals. Yet many nonhuman primates are languishing in tiny cages in private homes due to inadequate laws. The Captive Primate Safety Act (H.R. 1776/S. 2562) would crack down on the private possession of these animals by prohibiting the interstate or foreign sale or transportation of nonhuman primates for the wild “pet” trade. ✍ Help make this bill into law by asking your U.S. Representative to co-sponsor the Captive Primate Safety Act today. ⬇️ (fb)
