Primate Sanctuary Regulations
Target:
Dr. Chester Gipson, Deputy Administrator Animal Care, APHIS - Department of Agriculture
Sponsored by:
This petition evolved from a recent case of horrid findings in a Texas primate sanctuary, where years of inadequate care of it's residence and upkeep resulted in the Attorney General stepping in and placing the facility in receivership. A national movement to establish standards and regulations is needed to stop this kind of nightmare from every happening again. I challenge the USA to take a stand and help start a movement to try and ensure that the remainder of these beings lifes are spent in sanctuaries that are well monitored. We owe it to them. We need to know what goes on behind the gates. The conversations need to begin today!

We, the undersigned, call on APHIS, the US Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services, to recognize animal sanctuaries as entities and establish stringent sanctuary standards and regulation to give these animals back their dignity.
We thank you for your time and consideration of this issue.

Primates are protected by CITES because they are rare animals. They are also closely related to humans. Primates show concern, why don't you?
