Mongabay recently explored the otherwise-untapped market of GIFs relying on primate exploitation. When they initially approached me for an interview, I was intrigued because somehow the issue had never been brought to my attention - though for sure it's very obvious that there are many online GIFs showing primates in harmful ways (wearing clothes, performing, "acting" like humans, etc.)
I spoke with them to explain why the use of primates is so harmful, and the many ways it has negative repurcussions in the lives of the individual animal depicted but also others of the species.
