Free Punch the Baby Monkey Now

The Issue

Punch is a baby monkey being kept alone in a zoo after being rejected by his mother. Videos of him clinging to a stuffed toy have gone viral. People think it is cute. It is not. It is distress.

Baby monkeys need their mothers, social groups, space, and nature. Punch has none of that. He is isolated, confined, and put on display while people film his suffering.

This is not education. This is exploitation.

Keeping a baby primate alone for public attention causes long term psychological harm. No stuffed animal replaces a real family.

We are demanding immediate action.

Move Punch out of the zoo.
Place him in a qualified primate sanctuary.
End the use of viral suffering as entertainment.

If this can happen to Punch, it can happen to any animal.
