Non-human primates—like chimpanzees, gibbons, lemurs, lorises, spider monkeys and others—are intelligent, social, and sensitive animals. But across the US, many are kept as “pets” in private homes and other unsuitable environments, where they suffer physically and emotionally. This isn’t just harmful to the animals; it also puts people and communities at risk. Fortunately, a federal bill, Captive Primate Safety Act (CSPA), H.R. 3199/S. 1594, has been introduced to help rein in the U.S. trade in non-human primates. Speak up today and help protect wildlife and people alike by urging your members of Congress to support the CPSA!
