It's clear - primates shouldn't be pets. In addition to the problems being kept as a pet creates for the animals themselves, pet primates can also endanger their owners and other humans, and could be responsible for transmitting a number of serious diseases into the human population.

The Arkansas House of Representatives is considering SB 901, a ban on private ownership of primates. This bill passed the Senate unanimously; it's time for the House to do the same.

SB 901 is progressive, smart-thinking legislation. Urge the Arkansas House to pass this bill as soon as possible.
