One Smoot Short of a Bridge

Culture, social justice, queer issues, disability rights, arts, Boston, and stuff I think is cool.

They'll make great pets

Urge the Senate to Pass the Captive Primate Safety Act!


Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: ASPCA


If passed, the Captive Primate Safety Act would prevent people from buying and selling nonhuman primates as household pets. The Captive Primate Safety Act passed the House of Representatives, but has stalled in the Senate.

Buying and selling humans as pets, however, will still be permitted.
