    Extractions: This paper examines the proposed new standards for exhibiting primates at zoos and animal parks in New South Wales. It examines why the standards have been developed and looks at some interesting welfare issues which the standards attempt to address. Some of the intended benefits for the primates, the general community, the zoo-visiting public, primate exhibitors and primate welfarists are presented. Some of the difficulties encountered in preparing the standards have revealed deficiencies in published information and in the availability of information about a variety of factors that effect the welfare of primates kept for display. Examples are presented to encourage improvement in understanding of these factors. The fact that non-human primates resemble humans in many ways has contributed greatly to their popularity as exhibit animals in zoos and animal parks. People readily empathise with primates and can become deeply concerned about their welfare. There is a growing appreciation that primates are one of the more highly developed groups of animals, having special psychological and social needs. The more advanced mental characteristics of this group arguably give its members a greater potential to suffer if their needs are not met. Consequently there is considerable public interest in the welfare of exhibited primates.

Printable Version Download PDF Cite this Page Working for the periodical Animal’s Agenda , Rick Bogle discovered disturbing aspects of research projects on nonhuman primates (henceforth referred to as primates). He found one researcher who was “depriving infant rhesus macaques of key nutrients and stud[ying] the results, such as chronic diarrhea and neural impairment,” and another researcher who was “learning how to bolt the heads of three-month-old monkeys into a restraint device and inject[ing] chemicals into their brains to induce seizures.” In other experiments, baby monkeys were separated from their mothers so researchers could study conditions like depression, aggression, and mother-infant bonding. Torturous experiments on primates, like those depicted above, make most people uncomfortable. For many years in the United States, heated controversy has surrounded animal experimentation in general, but no issue is more emotionally charged than using primates in medical tests. At an emotional level, humans recognize something of themselves in primates, and they are therefore reluctant to approve the use of primates for experimentation, especially if the test would be painful. Polls indicate that the public believes a difference exists between primates and other animals and that primates have much in common with humans.

    Extractions: Seconded by Richard Leggett That, while acknowledging the sincere concern of Anglicans throughout the world for the unity of the Communion and recognizing the pain of Anglicans of all persuasions caused by recent events, this Faith, Worship and Ministry Committee reluctantly but firmly recommends to the Council of General Synod the following resolution: 1. That the Council of General Synod confirm the membership of the Anglican Church of Canada in the Anglican Consultative Council with the expectation that the duly elected members attend and participate in the June 2005 meeting of the Council in the UK. 2. That the Council of General Synod welcome the invitation to explain at the June 2005 meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council the current situation, the steps that were taken by Dioceses of the Anglican Church of Canada and the General Synod and the underlying theological and biblical rationale with respect to the decision to bless committed same sex unions. Explanatory Notes Part 1 of the Motion The Faith, Worship and Ministry Committee is concerned that existing ecclesiological and synodical structures, in dioceses and Provinces and within the Communion, are being pre-empted in their processes, and in the appropriate exercise of the checks and balances already available to them. Authority is being extended to bodies that goes beyond that constitutionally allocated to them. One principle of the evolution of church law is that we create new mechanisms only when all existing mechanisms have been exhausted.

He is also editor of a two-volume autobiography of Goodall, An Autobiography in Letters (Houghton Mifflin, 2000), the first volume of which was published in April. He recently spoke with Catherine Clyne about how he became interested in primates and the crucial issues that they face in the wild. I started from zero not even knowing what a primate is. I did a glut of research, but at that point all I had was an encyclopedia of facts. I realized that I had to travel and actually see primates for myself. I started late in life; it was all a big adventure for me. Basically, I bought a plane ticket to Brazil and just dropped into a rainforest to look for primates, so it was totally self-taught.

    Extractions: Ring Tail Lemurs Cotton Top Tamarin Primates (General Information) A single species of this order, Homo sapiens, is nearly worldwide in distribution. Otherwise, the order is found in the Americas from eastern and southern Mexico to southeastern Brazil, most of Africa, Madagascar, the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula, south-central and southeastern Asia, Japan, and the East Indies as far as Sulawesi and Timor. Included under the Primates here are 13 families, 71 genera, and 233 species. The sequence of haplorhine families presented here follows that of Hershkovitz (1977), who divided the living members of this group into three infraorders: Tarsii, for the tarsiers; Platyrrhini, for the New World monkeys; and Catarrhini, for the Old World monkeys, the apes, and humans. Hershkovitz recognized the New World family Callimiconidae, with the single genus Callimico, as being distinct from the Callitrichidae and Cebidae. Hershkovitz divided the Platyrrhini into two superfamilies: Cercopithecoidea, with the single family Cercopithecidae; and Hominoidea, with the families Hylobatidae (the gibbons being recognized as a distinct family), Pongidae, and Hominidae.

Contemporary Primates Humans as Primates Origin of Language From Hunter-Gatherer to Food Producer Variation in Modern Human Populations Edit this box edit What are the implications of the shared characteristics between humans and the other primates? Why do anthropologists study the social behavior of monkeys and apes? Information about primate behavior and ecology plays an integral role in the story of human evolution. Humans are primates, and the first members of the human species were probably more similar to living nonhuman primates than to any other animals on earth. Thus, by studying living primates we can learn something about the lives of our ancestors. Humans are closely related to primates and similar to them in many ways. If we understand how evolution has shaped the behavior of animals so much like ourselves, we may have greater insights about the way evolution has shaped our own behavior and the behavior of our ancestors.
