Monkeys are one of the species that are closest to humans. Despite being animals who are meant to live in the wild, monkeys are still victims of the "pet" trade, of animal testing, of circuses and zoos. Their similarities to us are to be respected, and not to be kept captive.
In this episode author Liz Tyson talks about her and Ruth Montiel-Arias' new book, From Harm to Healing. Liz is the program director at Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary. We talked to her about the sanctuary's work, about trauma and healing, and about the importance keeping monkeys in their natural habitats.
