๐ New laws banning primates as pets take effect today in England.
In a vital step, licences will only be granted under strict zooโlevel standards - but awareness is still low.
Born Free continues to call for a full ban on primates as pets across the UK.
#PrimatesAreNotPets
We were delighted to host them, and step towards better welfare for primates in the UK today.

many years. These laws will stop the majority of cases we see, of solitary marmosets kept in bird cages. #stampitout #primatesarenotpets #monkeyrescue #animalrescue #monkeyworld
๐ Meet a Macaque Monday: Shirley! With her soft eyes and gentle nature, Shirley is one of the sweetest souls at WFFT. Estimated to be around 25 years old, she was rescued back in 2011 after living a sad life as a pet.

Ling was surrendered to us. He showed signs of aggression & stress, a common occurrence for a wild animal kept as a pet.
#Slowlorises are wild #animals & cannot thrive in captivity. Keeping them as #pets is not only cruel but also illegal.

๐Two orphaned #macaques, DeeDee & Mitchell, have arrived at #WFFT after being kept as pets. They now need lifelong care, safety & a chance to be macaques again. ๐ Please help give them their second chance: https://t.co/vqGKzdybYd #PrimatesAreNotPets #WildlifeRescue
Guess whoโs out of quarantine and loving her new space? Violeta is! ๐
Cleared of all infectious disease testing, she's moved to a larger area and is gaining weight slowly but steadily!
๐ฉ Share her story and spread the word that #PrimatesAreNotPets to prevent these situations.
Imagine spending your whole life in a cage in someoneโs backyard. ๐ Thatโs reality for many monkeys & apes in the U.S. โ kept as pets due to weak laws. The Captive Primate Safety Act would help end this. Urge your Rep to co-sponsor #PrimatesAreNotPets โฌ๏ธ

Primates getting some ๐ in the US Congress. Thank you @RepMikeQuigley @SenBlumenthal for leading the #CaptivePrimateSafetyAct. As the largest network of primate sanctuaries in Africa @pasaprimates enthusiastically endorses this common sense bill. #PrimatesAreNotPets
Meet Willis. An African vervet monkey, Willis was illegally kept as a pet in Chicago for the first three years of his life. He is now living in a large, safe enclosure at the @BornFreeUSA Primate Sanctuary in Texas.
My bill, the #CaptivePrimateSafetyAct, will prohibit primates like Willis from being household pets. This ban will increase public safety, as police and paramedics often have to intervene in dangerous and sometimes fatal interactions with these animals.
๐จBREAKING: The Captive Primate Safety Act is back in Congress! This vital bill would help end the cruel, dangerous pet primate trade. Primates arenโt pets โ they suffer in captivity and pose risks to public safety. It's time to act. #PrimatesAreNotPets

Did you know spider monkeys have a fully prehensile tail- essentially a fifth limb? Spider monkey Pumpkin shows hers off as she investigates a pillowcase! Keep the sound on for spider monkey chuckles at the end :)

Pygmy Marmosets: Adorable, but too wild for your home! ๐ ๐ฟ #keepemwild #primatesarenotpets
Pygmy marmosets are small and docile, making them especially vulnerable targets for the exotic pet trade, habitat destruction and extinction according to the IUCN Redlist. #worldwildlife
Lemurs are wild animals, not pets ๐ Let them thrive in their natural home, not yours #WildAndFree #RespectWildlife #KeepEmWild #primatesarenotpets

Monkeys may be cute, but theyโre not meant to be pets! ๐ Letโs celebrate National Love Your Pet Day tomorrow by loving the pets that are made for family life ๐ถ ๐ฑ #NationalLoveYourPetDay #WildAndFree #KeepEmWild #PrimatesAreNotPets
A major threat to black-capped capuchins is the exotic pet trade. Their curiosity makes them one of the highest sought out primates.
This Valentineโs Day, express your love for nature. Share the message that primates belong with THEIR families! #KeepEmWild #primatesarenotpets โค๏ธ
