Humane Action humane action Oct. 6, 2011 Humane Action share Humane Action Facebook ha share twitter Humane Action Forward Time is Running Out for Chimps Dear Alan, The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing a decades-old rule that allows chimpanzees to be used for frivolous entertainment, invasive experiments and as exotic pets, even though chimpanzees in the wild are protected as an endangered species. Please urge the Fish and Wildlife Service to give all chimpanzees -- captive and wild -- full protection under the Endangered Species Act. This would finally give captive chimpanzees protection from the suffering they endure, and would show that the U.S. is truly committed to the conservation of this majestic species. The Fish and Wildlife Service will only accept comments until Oct. 31, so please add your voice before it's too late! Take action now>> Thank you for all you do for animals.
