Just yesterday, the Captive Primate Safety Act, H.R. 80 passed the U.S. House of Representatives, and now needs support in the Senate. H.R. 80 was passed in the House just eight days after a tragic chimpanzee attack in Connecticut. The bill would prohibit the interstate and international sale of primates as pets.

Now is the time to call, fax or email your senators, and ask them to support the Captive Primate Safety Act. Don't know who your senators are?
