MONKEYS COMMERCE AT UNITED STATES

Animal trafficking exists because there are a lot of people who buy them as pets no only here, but all over the world. This is a proof that catching dealers is not enough. It is necessary to fight for the ban of the selling of wild animals anywhere. Check this ad of El Nuevo Herald newspaper, of Miami, advertising that baby marmosets are sold for USD 1800 each.

The animals of four forests are being caught and end up in houses of this continent and of others, nourishing a criminal market that has no end.
