According to Executive Director of GAP Project Spain, Pedro Pozas Terrados, there is an increasing movement in Spain that joints several organizations in the direction to change article 337 of animal mistreating Penal Code, adding a special chapter for great primates.

According to the proposal that is being analyzed by Spanish Congress men, “those who sell, import, export, kidnap or use great primates for experiments or circus shows will be condemned to penalties of one to three years of prison, prohibition, from three to ten years, of owning an animal and fines.

GAP Project Spain, which collects a lot of information about mistreating against great primates, is studying, having the Brazilian case as an example, the possibility of ordering Habeas Corpus to free their great primates.
