Box 32160 Washington DC 20007 Email Us CONGRESS URGED TO MOVE SWIFTLY ON BILL TO PROTECT PRIMATES For Immediate Release March 16, 2005 WASHINGTON, DC-The United States House of Representatives took an enormously positive step toward protecting both humans and wildlife when Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX 30) and Rob Simmons (R-CT 2) wisely introduced the Captive Primate Safety Act (H. R. 1329) today. The legislation would prohibit the interstate movement of chimpanzees, macaques, capuchins, and other primates if they are to be kept as "pets". "I think we can safely say that there are at least 15,000 primates in private hands in the US," asserted Adam M. Roberts, Vice President of Born Free USA, "But since the trade is largely unregulated, it is virtually impossible to get a precise number." The Centers for Disease Control already restricts importation of primates as pets into the United States, but there is no corresponding federal regulation on movement of these animals between states. Nonhuman primates do not make good pets. Roberts added, "The desire to be close to exotic animals is understandable, but keeping primates as pets is simply unjustifiable. The risk to the animals themselves and the people who live near them is just too great. Wild animals belong in the wild."

Newsletters Shop Media Support Us ... Media Information LEARN MORE BY VISITING SUPPORTED BY: ANIMAL PROTECTION INSTITUTE Nonhuman primates are intelligent animals with complex behavioral and social needs. Companionship, group living, space, and an enriched environment are all important for their physiological, behavioral, and psychological health. Each year, however, tens of thousands of nonhuman primates suffer at the hands of humans. They are kept as "pets," used as research "subjects," exhibited as "specimens" in traditional zoos, or simply used as "attractions" in roadside zoos. Exploited and abused, they too often lead lonely, miserable lives, kept in conditions that compromise their physical and mental well-being. The API Primate Sanctuary provides a safe, permanent home to nonhuman primates rescued from exploitation and abuse including: The Trade in Exotic Animals The trade in exotic animals is a multi-billion dollar industry. Every year, thousands of captive wild animals, including nonhuman primates, are forced into this trade from a variety of sources. These animals are either "surplus" from various roadside menageries and other zoos; are sold at auctions, pet stores, or over the Internet; or come from backyard breeders. The life of a captive wild animal is one of exploitation and suffering. Unfortunately, our laws provide them minimum protection. Primates as "Pets" Exotic animals such as nonhuman primates belong in their natural habitat and not in the hands of private individuals as "pets," where they are often raised as if they were human children, without the companionship of others of their own kind. Being raised in isolation from other primates will result in neurotic and disturbed behavior.

Visions of Primates The Satya Interview with Dale Peterson Dale Peterson is the author several books, including The Deluge and the Ark: A Journey into Primate Worlds (Houghton Mifflin, 1989), and co-author with Jane Goodall of Visions of Caliban: On Chimpanzees and People (University of Georgia Press, 2000). 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. What inspired you to write The Deluge and the Ark and to continue exploring primates with Jane Goodall in Visions of Caliban The Deluge and the Ark 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. So The Deluge and the Ark The Deluge and the Ark Visions of Caliban The Tempest . I think it made the issue more attractive to people who were not themselves primatologists.

Scientists say reducing people's consumption of wild-animal meat could minimize the chance of spreading this and other viruses that cause emerging diseases. CLOSE ENCOUNTER. Hunting and butchering a gorilla apparently infected a 45-year-old man with a new virus typically found only in nonhuman primates, according to a recent study. To feed their families wild meat, or bushmeat, people in rural Africa have been hunting a variety of animals, including pigs, antelope, and primates for generations. The Zoological Society of London estimates that bushmeat makes up 50 to 85 percent of protein in the diet of tropical-forest dwellers in Africa. SIV and related viruses inhabit their normal nonhuman primate hosts without doing harm. However, "when they cross species boundaries, that's when they have a potential for illness," says Nathan Wolfe, a biologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

Home Press and Publications Press Releases The HSUS Urges Swift Passage of Bill to Ban Dangerous Primates as Pets The HSUS Urges Swift Passage of Bill to Ban Dangerous Primates as Pets WASHINGTON — On the heels of a highly publicized attack of a California man by two chimpanzees who escaped their confinement, U.S. Representatives Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) and Rob Simmons (R-CT) today introduced a bill, H.R. 1329, that would ban the interstate transportation of primates for the pet trade. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is calling for swift passage of the "Captive Primate Safety Act" to protect primates as well as public health and safety. "Monkeys, chimpanzees, and other nonhuman primates belong in the wild, not in our backyards and basements," said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The HSUS. "These animals are dangerous, they spread diseases, and they cannot be kept in private homes humanely. We applaud Representatives Johnson and Simmons for their leadership in introducing this important and timely legislation. We urge Congress to pass the Captive Primate Safety Act quickly before the next person is injured or killed by a pet primate." The bill is similar to the Captive Wildlife Safety Act, which passed Congress unanimously in 2003 without a single dissenting vote, and which bars the interstate commerce in lions, tigers, and other big cats for the pet trade. Like big cats, primates such as chimpanzees and macaque monkeys have bitten and attacked their owners, but the safety threat is arguably even greater: primates can spread dangerous diseases such as yellow fever, monkey pox, Ebola and Marburg virus, tuberculosis, herpes-b, and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), the primate form of HIV. Primates are popular pets, and animal welfare groups estimate there are 15,000 in private hands in the United States. According to the Captive Wild Animal Protection Coalition, nearly 100 people have been injured by primates in the past 10 years, including 29 children.

Home Press and Publications Press Releases Senate Bill Introduced to Restrict Pet Trade in Monkeys, Chimpanzees Senate Bill Introduced to Restrict Pet Trade in Monkeys, Chimpanzees WASHINGTON — The Humane Society of the United States today called upon Congress to address a growing problem - the private ownership of primates for use as pets. Senators James Jeffords (I-VT) and Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) introduced the "Captive Primate Safety Act" today out of concern for the welfare of the animals as well as their concern for public health and safety.   “Earlier this month two monkeys escaped from an outdoor enclosure in Ohio and attacked a local resident,” said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The HSUS. "Primates are powerful wild animals, and they do not belong in people's basements or backyards.  These animals can also spread disease to people, and the risks of private ownership cannot and do not exceed the benefits."  "The Captive Primate Safety Act is a common sense solution to a potentially very serious problem,” said Senator Jeffords, Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. “Monkeys, chimpanzees, and other nonhuman primates can be dangerous if not cared for properly and can pose an even greater risk to our public health as carriers of dangerous diseases.  Our legislation is needed to help federal agencies control and monitor these species within our borders."

They have graced movie and television screens, journeyed to space and some have even communicated with us through sign language. The Chimpanzee is a truly remarkable creature. Chimpanzees are relatively large primates, though much smaller than their cousin the Gorilla. They can weigh anywhere from 99 to 176 pounds at adulthood. They have no tail and are usually black. Like Gorillas, some adult males might develop a gray patch of hair on their backs. Chimpanzees are native to Africa. Unfortunately, these wonderful animals are classified as endangered, due to mass habitat destruction, hunting and commercial exportation.

To the public at large, he is best known for three books: The Trouble with Testosterone (1997) and (2001). The earlier books concentrate on his scientific work, but is a more personal look at his life in Africa, introducing us equally to the baboons and the human primates he encounters. As with most of his writing, the book is very funny. New York Times Sapolsky himself has cascading hair and a full beard, which sometimes gives him a resemblance to Tom Hanks as a third-year castaway. In person, he is pleasant, soft-spoken and self-deprecating, someone you might easily imagine living happily alone in a tent in Africa. Watch him in action, however, or read between the lines about what he actually does in the field, and you get a completely different picture.

Scientists recognize about 200 different species of nonhuman primates, most of which are distributed throughout the tropical rainforests of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The close biological relationship of nonhuman primates to human beings makes nonhuman primates desirable as models for biomedical research. Primates are also sought by zoological parks, and many are popular � though often illegal � pets in some parts of the world. Primates are also an important source of protein for people in certain countries, particularly in parts of Africa and the Amazon region of South America. Are primates endangered? Many primates are in danger of extinction. Ninety percent of all primates live in tropical rain forests around the world. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of hectares of these forests are destroyed every year, shrinking the habitat available to primates and other rain forest species. The 2002 IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals lists 118 primate species as threatened, compared to only 96 in their 1996 assessment.
