Tonia Haddix on Primate Protection
Tonia Haddix underscores the urgent need for primate protection, focusing on the alarming trend of primate ownership in America. Recent studies published have shown that exposure to primates in media fuels the dangerous demand for these animals as pets. As seen in the new docuseries 'Chimp Crazy,' the suffering of these intelligent beings calls for immediate action.
The Cruelty Behind Primate Ownership
- Primate ownership poses severe risks to animal welfare.
