The Captive Primate Safety Act aims to improve the lives of captive primates in this country. Although it is illegal to import primates into the United States for the pet trade, there is still a booming market for wild-caught primates for pets in South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia.

I find that testing on primates in wrong and should

be reduced or even stopped. We have found some

results from these tests but it's hurting the physical

and mental health.

Although it is wrong and should be stopped, we need

the scientific research done on primates so we can further

our knowledge in the science world. We have to continue our

research on primates until we can find something else, non-human,

to test on.

Primates develop a lot of psychological problems

from being in cages and not socially interacting.

Most develop self-destructive behavior such as:

scratching, rocking, biting, and hair pulling.

Over 100,000 primates live in bare, metal cages, in science

labs,where they rarely see sunlight or have any social

interaction. At a young age, baby primates are taken

away from their mother, never to see them again.

Most of these primates are bred in captivity because

we can get more accurate test results and will never be

realeased into the wild.

Primate captivity is when scientist preform genetic

experiments on primates so they don't have to

test on humans. Primates and humans have similar

bodies and primates can be very intelligent.

Although we have found a lot of

results from these expiriments, primates should not

be forced to be tested on.
