Cielo De La Rosa @cielodelarosa.bsky.social · 12/08/2025Did you know there’s no federal law regulating the private ownership of primates in the US? The Captive Primate Safety Act aims to change that. Join me in advocating for this legislation to protect primates from the pet trade. Urge lawmakers to support this legislation! www.lpzoo.org/help-us-save...lpzoo.orgHelp Us Save Primates | Lincoln Park Zoo 000

Cielo De La Rosa @cielodelarosa.bsky.social · 07/07/2025The Captive Primate Safety Act would prohibit the private possession, breeding, and sale of nonhuman primates at a federal level. It is about time we banned the primate pet trade in the U.S. www.npr.org/2025/07/02/n...npr.orgCaptive Primate Safety Act aims to curb illegal pet trade in the U.S.Wildlife trafficking is one of the world's biggest illegal trades, and the U.S. creates much of the demand for pet primates. Now there's a proposed ban on privately owning and breeding these animals. 010
