Monkeys are being taken from their mothers and sold to buyers as babies so that they appear harmless and cling onto the human buyer. As monkeys age, they become the wild animals they are expected to be and they will challenge dominance and become dangerous. Former ‘pet’ monkeys are filling up sanctuaries often with no funding and that leaves less room to help monkeys from laboratories.
