Purchasing a pet monkey or ape in Missouri is easy. But should you do it?
At least 35 to 50 primates are sold in the state each year. @moalliance sat down with @stlonair to talk about why it can be unsafe for both the pet and owner.

We want to express our immense gratitude to @GovParsonMO for signing SB 71 today, allowing pets to be placed on orders of protection to keep them safe from becoming pawns in family violence!

"In a violent household, companion animals are often victims of the same abusive behaviors that harm children, intimate partners, and vulnerable adults." https://t.co/2lqebhK7AA
It is tragic, but not surprising, that this individual violated restrictions for possessing animals. Animal hoarding has nearly a 100% re-offense rate if the person does not receive mental health services. This is why we need HB 373 to pass in Missouri!

"As the bill is currently drafted, if an employee or a neighbor noticed illegal activity on an agricultural property, they would not be able to offer their witness testimony in court, said Baker."
