Extractions: History The Animal Welfare Act [often referred to as "The AWA", or "The Act"] regulates the purchase, care, treatment and transportation of animals used for exhibition, sold as pets, or used in biomedical research laboratories. At the present time, the Act does not cover animals used in commonly accepted agricultural practices, laboratory-bred rats, mice nor birds. The AWA initially covered only the care and transportation of animals and made provisions to prevent the sale of stolen animals. The first version of the AWA (called the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act) was passed in 1966 in response to public criticisms about pound seizure and bunching. ["Pound seizure" is the practice of selling (or donating) animals surrendered to a shelter to biomedical research facilities. "Bunching" is theft of pet dogs and cats for the purpose of selling them to be used in biomedical research.] Since 1966, there have been several amendments to the AWA which provide more protection for animals. For example, in 1985 an amendment required "exercise of dogs" and "psychological well-being of primates".
Extractions: Welcome to the website of the Endangered Primate Foundation, Inc. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of nonhuman primates. Our mission is to protect threatened species through captive breeding, conservation, scientific research, and education. More than half of all extant primate species are, to some degree, at risk of becoming extinct. Human activities such as deforestation, hunting, and the pet trade pose serious threats to wild populations. As with all endangered species, in order to save wild primates from extinction more protected areas must be established in their native habitats. This is ultimately the only conservation strategy that will insure their survival in the wild. By teaching people about the importance of biodiversity, that each species plays a role in the state of the planet as a whole, we can hope to reverse some of the damage already done and preserve wild species and habitats for the future. The key to conservation is education. The people of the Endangered Primate Foundation believe that one of the most important issues in animal husbandry is providing naturalistic captive environments. There is no question that animals living in a free-range setting achieve a higher quality of life than those living in cages or small enclosures. Free-ranging animals also serve as better research subjects, since their activities and behavior more closely approximate those of their wild counterparts. This type of captive research is valuable for application to conservation efforts in wild habitats.

Extractions: Date: 26 April 2005 Antananarivo, Madagascar (April 7, 2005) Mankind's closest living relatives the world's apes, monkeys, lemurs and other primates face increasing peril from humans and some could soon disappear forever, according to a report released today by the Primate Specialist Group of IUCN-The World Conservation Union's Species Survival Commission (SSC) and the International Primatological Society (IPS), in collaboration with Conservation International (CI). Primates in Peril: The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates-2004-2006 reveals that 25 percent-or one in four-of the 625 primate species and subspecies are at risk of extinction. The report compiled by more than 50 experts from 16 countries cites deforestation, commercial bushmeat hunting, and the illegal animal trade as the primary threats, and warns that failure to respond will bring the first primate extinctions in more than a century. The golden-headed langur of Vietnam and China's Hainan gibbon number only in the dozens. The Horton Plains slender loris of Sri Lanka has been sighted just four times since 1937. Perrier's sifaka of Madagascar and the Tana River red colobus of Kenya are now restricted to tiny patches of tropical forest, leaving them vulnerable to rapid eradication. Hunters kill primates for food and to sell the meat, traders capture them for live sale, and loggers, farmers, and land developers destroy their habitat.
