Spanish Government: Please Ban ALL Use of Chimpanzees As Props for Photos on Beaches!!!

Hello 👋,
I am watching "Monkey Life" - a programme set at Monkey World - a great rescue in Dorset, UK, which save primates from abuse and smuggling. They have talked about how chimpanzees are snatched from the wild in order to be used as beach props on Spanish beaches and in circuses and laboratories. Sometimes, up to ten chimps are killed for every taken alive from the wild, as they try to protect against the poachers and are killed as a result.
For those chimpanzees that do survive and go on to be used as photo props on Spanish beaches, a life of captivity and exploitation for human profit and greed might be all they will experience for the rest of their lives.
This threatens chimpanzees as a species. Chimpanzees are endangered. In a census conducted on the Ivory Coast, the chimpanzee population had declined by 90% in just 20 years due, in part, to captivation.
It is bad for conservation and chimps as a species, and it is bad for the individual chimps. It is cruel, unethical and wrong. Chimps are our closest living relatives - this is no way to treat them!!!
Please outlaw the use of chimpanzees as props on ALL Spanish beaches!!!!
