Captive Primate Safety Act: Banning Trade and Possession
This new act prohibits the import, export, transport, sale, and possession of live primates, such as chimpanzees and monkeys, in interstate and foreign commerce. Its goal is to limit private ownership of these animals. However, exceptions are made for licensed facilities like zoos, research institutions, and sanctuaries, provided they meet strict requirements.
Key points
Trade and private possession of most primate species are now prohibited.
Citizens owning primates before the act's effective date must register them and are forbidden from breeding or selling them.
Exemptions apply to licensed zoos, research facilities, and sanctuaries, which must adhere to strict conditions, including no direct public contact with the animals.
