You must have noticed “cute” pics of nonhuman primates on SMs, especially ones with people? Such UNETHICAL images are even being irresponsibly promoted by influential personalities. We strongly condemn them and appeal for the adoption of a more aware approach. #StopAnimalCruelty

2020 has been really challenging for all of us but it made us realise the value of togetherness. Our greatest accomplishment was to spread more knowledge about primates with y'all (vid below).
Let's continue this journey in 2021 to spread knowledge and love for ALL THE PRIMATES.
