We, the undersigned, stand united to demand justice for Jorgie, a spider monkey whose tragic separation from his owner after a car accident highlights a broader crisis in the exploitation of exotic animals as pets. Jorgie's story has captured the hearts of people worldwide, igniting a movement that calls for meaningful change in animal welfare policies and regulations.

Jorgie is more than a victim of circumstances—he is a symbol of the countless animals that endure suffering due to insufficient legislation, irresponsible ownership, and inadequate rehabilitation support. While Jorgie is now being rehabilitated at Funky Monkey Ranch, his story is a call to action for all of us to address the systemic issues facing exotic animals in captivity.

We urge Dallas City and Dallas DA to:

Strengthen Legislation: Enact stricter laws to regulate the ownership and trade of exotic animals, ensuring their safety and well-being.
Support Rehabilitation Efforts: Increase funding and resources for facilities like Funky Monkey Ranch, which provide vital care and rehabilitation for animals like Jorgie.
Promote Education: Raise public awareness about the challenges and dangers of keeping exotic animals as pets, emphasizing the ethical and environmental consequences.
Advocate for Sanctuary Placement: Prioritize the placement of animals like Jorgie in accredited sanctuaries that can provide them with proper care and a life as close to the wild as possible.
This is not just about one monkey—it’s about a movement. By taking action, we can ensure that Jorgie’s story serves as a catalyst for reform, shining a light on the injustices faced by exotic animals everywhere.

Join us in giving Jorgie and others like him the voice they deserve. Together, we can create a world where no animal suffers for human entertainment or ignorance.

Sign the petition today and be part of the movement to bring justice for Jorgie and countless other animals in need.
