Primates not only suffer physically, they are also socially disadvantaged. We know from early experimental work that isolating these animals from their group causes profound social problems. In most cases, normal social behavior in animals released later cannot be restored. Human owners of particularly young pet monkeys paralyze animals for life by removing them from their natural environment.
Several monkeys at Wellington Zoo were injured after their enclosure was broken into.
