On Tuesday March 22nd, Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary  Founder Kari Bagnall  spoke  on Capitol Hill as part of a  panel  in support of the Captive Primate  Safety Act.  The Captive Primate Safety Act (H.R. 2920)  would amend the Lacey Act of 1981 to prohibit any interstate or foreign commerce involving nonhuman primates for the exotic pet trade, including sale, transportation, and acquisition. See the photo album from her trip.

      

A big part of the mission here at Jungle Friends is to educate people about monkeys and to advocate for the safety of all non human primates. We encourage you to support this act by writing to your local congress members.
