Americans are bombarded with images of primates in the media. Millions double-tap photos of spider monkeys dressed in doll clothes on Instagram, chuckle at a chimpanzee’s antics in a “One Direction” video, or laugh at a capuchin’s mischief in “The Hangover, Part II.” But behind the entertainment, a disturbing reality lurks.
Due to lax laws in many states, it is impossible to know exactly how many primates are kept as pets in the United States, though the Plos One study estimates the number was approximately 15,000 and rising in 2021. In the age of social media, where viral content drives the pet trade, the number of primates owned as pets has likely grown. Currently, there is no federal regulation governing the private ownership of primates, despite a growing body of evidence highlighting the dangers.
