Hoy os habla­mos de mal­tra­to. Hay múl­ti­ples pági­nas de FB y de IG don­de tris­te­men­te se pue­de ver mal­tra­to infrin­gi­do a pri­ma­tes. De vez en cuan­do reci­bi­mos peti­cio­nes de per­so­nas sen­si­bles a esto que nos piden ayu­da. Noso­tros solo pode­mos infor­mar, no tene­mos auto­ri­dad para cam­biar esta situa­ción, pero sí os acon­se­ja­mos cómo actuar:

Today, we want to talk about a dif­fi­cult issue: ani­mal abu­se on social media.

Unfor­tu­na­tely, the­re are many pages on Face­book and Ins­ta­gram whe­re pri­ma­tes are mis­trea­ted. From time to time, we recei­ve mes­sa­ges from con­cer­ned peo­ple asking how they can help address this problem.

Although we do not have the autho­rity to remo­ve this con­tent our­sel­ves, we can help inform peo­ple about how to res­pond. This video explains some ways you can take action:

Another impor­tant step is not wat­ching or sha­ring videos that show ani­mal abu­se, vio­len­ce, or exploi­ta­tion, as this increa­ses their visi­bi­lity and encou­ra­ges the accounts that publish them.

Becau­se we do not want to sha­re ima­ges of abu­se, today’s pho­to shows some fol­ders our collea­gue Marián­ge­les made by reusing ima­ges from an SOS Pri­ma­tes calendar.

Aren’t they beautiful?
Thank you, Mariángeles.
