Monkey Rescue Organization Fights Against Bans on Private Ownership of Primates
As animal rights extremists seek to end all private ownership of primates, one expert and owner of a monkey sanctuary is urging both the public and politicians to reconsider these harsh measures.
Michael Robison, owner of the Small Primate Animal Rescue TN (SPARTN), knows more about the bad parts of the exotic pet trade than most. As a primate expert and owner of a monkey rescue, he is often taking in animals that people bought without being properly prepared or educated on the reality of caring for these complex creatures.
