That’s because two of our organisation’s founders had links with this centre at different times, collaborating on various in [...]

Another threat that primates face is exploitation in the entertainment industry ( television, films, circuses, or photos with them prior to payment). They demand offspring for this, which is cruel due to the fact that said offspring are acquired by killing the mother or separating them from her at an early age so they are [...]
