World Animal Protection invited me to present on a webinar they were hosting titled "Protecting Nonhuman Primates Exploited as Pets: Sanctuaries and Solutions." It was organized to encourage support of the Captive Primate Safety Act, and also featured a special message from U.S. Congressman Earl Blumenauer and my colleague Amy Kerwin, Founder and Director of Primates, Incorporated.
My presentation focused on the impact of the exotic pet trade on overburdened sanctuaries, and also how primates suffer as individuals when forced to live in human homes.
I was honored to be a part of this important webinar, and I hope to work with World Animal Protection more in the future!
