My Mate's a Primate
Posted: 25 August 2006
“My Mate’s a Primate” is a campaign to highlight the exploitation of our animal cousins. It is now time to put right a terrible wrong – to recognise that we are not alone.
The other species who share this planet are not less than us – just different. They share our love of their life and suffer the travails of life on earth as we do. In the case of primates, they aren’t just our mates… they’re part of the family. Please help us protect them.
My Mate’s a Primate highlights and aims to end four ways in which primates are threatened or exploited: as bushmeat; in entertainment; the pet trade; and in experiments.
