A new article co-authored by renowned author and animal sentience expert Dr. Barbara J. King focused on the complex harms of keeping primate as "pets." I was happy to speak with her while she was researching for the article, and am pleased that she quoted me in the finished product:
It's pretty impossible for the nation's primate sanctuaries to understand the need for primate retirement when so many privately owned primates are living under the radar. It's a real problem that doesn't have any solutions, short of a federal ban on private ownership of primates. Perhaps one day... but until then, our work continues.
