Monkeys are victims of the growing exotic pet trade. In Zambia, primate mothers are slaughtered for meat and their babies sold illegally and kept on the end of short chains. In the U.S. more than 15,000 primates are kept as pets. Some are auctioned - baby monkeys kept in cages and sold to the highest bidder. Even people with the best intentions cannot properly care for these highly intelligent and sensitive wild animals who suffer distress, nutritional deficiencies, and often premature death.
