A house will never be a primate's home: they are not a pet.
It doesn’t matter how well intentioned the owner is, primates are not suitable pets. All primates, hand reared or not, are wild animals. They are highly intelligent beings that need specialist care in captivity. The complex environment that a primate needs can never be provided in a house.
Along with our partners at The Born Free Foundation, British Veterinary Association (BVA), Captive Animals’ Protection Society, Four Paws, One Kind and Wild Futures we’re calling for an end to the keeping of primates as pets.
