Part of my duties with the
North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA) is to speak up on primate-related topics that are especially newsworthy or a particular focus of the group. In July, the organization kicked off an advocacy program about the private ownership of primates. I wrote a number of articles that were then pitched to local and national news outlets. So far, two have been printed.
On July 26th, the Bend Bulletin (in Oregon) printed "
Chimpanzees Should Not Be Pets."
On August 2nd, the Gainesville Sun (in Florida) printed "
Erika Fleury: Jungle Friends' Jersey Shows Negative Consequences of Primate Ownership."
I expect more articles will be published this month. I look forward to sharing the news of this!
