Dear John,

Despite the Conservatives having pledged to ban primates as pets in their 2019 election campaign, the practice is still sadly legal. It is estimated that up to a staggering 9,000 primates are currently held captive as pets throughout the UK.
These monkeys shouldn't be here. Please make a donation today to help us shine a light on this cruel industry and push for a ban.
