Yes a federally adopted bill banning primates as pets is far overdue. The people that have been damaged by their pet primates is what will drive this bill toward passage but frankly my concern is from the view of the primate - they are not pets, are not now nor will they ever be domecticated and even if it were possible to domesticate them why would we do that to yet another species? We need to protect their habitat, protect them as the wild animals they are and stop using them to entertain us.
