Help stop the cruelty behind tourism.
Donate nowThis is not tourism, it’s torture.
Monkeys and other wild animals are suffering, all in the name of entertainment.
Stolen. Broken. Forced to perform.
Stolen from their families and communities in the wild, or bred in captivity, monkeys in the tourism industry are brutally trained to obey.
Starved and beaten they are forced to “dance”, pose for photograph and perform tricks for paying crowds. And behind the-scenes, what the tourists don’t see when the show is over – these intelligent, social animals are locked into tiny cages, or chained up, often by the neck on short chains. Alone, isolated and terrified.
No wild animal should spend a lifetime suffering for human amusement. Monkeys belong with their families — high in the treetops, living free, curious, and wild, exactly as nature intended.
You can help end this abuse.
Your donation today will help stop the exploitation of monkeys in tourism and help keep wild animals where they belong — in the wild, not in chains.
Please give today. Help keep monkeys free.
