Imagine living the rest of your life confined to a small cell—there's nothing to do, nothing to look at, and no one to interact with in a meaningful way. Every minute of every day is almost exactly the same, and there's no reason to hope that things could change.
That's what most captive monkeys are enduring right now—exploited by humans who tear them away from their mothers and repeatedly experiment on them, cage them for cruel entertainment, condemn them to forced labor, or subject them to other forms of hideous cruelty.
In nature, primates are cherished by their families. They stick to their mothers' side for months after birth or in many cases much longer—and they develop strong social bonds and foraging skills, roaming their vast habitats and scampering through trees.
Yet many primates lack these simple freedoms—they are mutilated and psychologically tortured in twisted experiments, imprisoned by the tourism or television industries, or even tightly chained and forced to scale trees to pick heavy coconuts.
PETA knows how to help our fellow primates—we've been doing so since our very first investigation more than four decades ago. But we need you with us to have an even greater impact in 2021.
We can stop deadly experiments on animals, persuade universities and regulatory agencies to embrace human-relevant research, expose and end the violence animals endure for everything from canned goods to photo ops, and do even more—but only if we have the help of compassionate and generous PETA supporters like you.
