Failure

We are so worried about the potential for the primate ban that's in Congress, that we got together and we made some short ads...

Ads NOT aimed at the monkey community, because that's preaching to the converted, but at the general public in order to dispel the mythology that primate ownership is all about keeping chimps in cages and cruel and exploitative.

We did well, we made three short ads, they won't win Oscars but they get the point across.

However we have failed miserably in getting the support to share the links to these ads.

I'm not going to do anymore now, I'm just going to hand it over and see if people are as worried as we are and are ready to get all of their friends share the links to the group where the ads are..

Please remember, JUST SHARING ON YOUR PAGE ISNT GOING TO DO IT.. we want you to ask all your friends to join the group and share.

Here is the link to the group where we've posted the ad ads.. that's the link to share, or go into the group and share the individual ads.

The danger of primate bans is real and we need access to public perception to offset the sort of stuff that they are fed which is a mix of misinformation and documentaries like "chimp crazy".

We can share all we like on the primate groups but that doesn't get any traction with Joe public who don't get to see it because of the Facebook algorithm.

Creating the 'Captive Primate Community News' Twitter account, and putting on there just a few well-made videos in the form of small commercials showing the reality of primary ownership, can give us access to a much bigger audience....

If we're going to be lobbying to fight these bans we need to get the lobbyists something they can link to and something we can feed the press to start changing public perception.

Just liking things and sharing them on our groups isn't going to cut it, we need to be sharing the links to these short videos/commercials in non primate groups, and on local sites, and to local media.

I can get them made and I propose making a pilot, but I'm going to need support from people who are going to help me find clips, research facts and data, find resources for local news contacts etc.

We don't need a lot of people and we don't need a lot of time, but if there isn't a significant interest then it's a pretty pointless exercise, so I'm casting my bread to the waters one more time to see who's out there and what level of interest.

This group has just been brought to my attention, they are going to be actively lobbying to protect primate owners rights, so let's give them all the support we can... and share share share share 👍

This is our current veterinarian list. We will do our best to keep it up to date for the benefit of all primate owners.
