U.S. Residents: Support the Captive Primate Safety Act

The Issue

From the National Anti-Vivisection Society: "The U.S. House of Representatives passed The Captive Primate Safety Act, H.R. 80, on February 24, sending it to the Senate for their consideration. This bill would stop interstate commerce in primates for the exotic pet trade, although it would not impact individuals currently keeping primates as pets. It will end the trafficking in primates for the pet trade and will spare monkeys and chimpanzees in the future from inadequate and inhumane living conditions, while protecting people from serious injury and deadly disease."

Please sign below to ask the Senate to take action on this critical bill. For more information, please visit:
