SIGN: Tell Spain to pass a law to protect great apes NOW!
Dear friends of the rainforests,
In early 2023, the Spanish Congress and
Senate passed the Animal Welfare Act, a landmark law recognizing
animals as sentient beings. The Act explicitly requires the
government to present a draft law to protect great apes—bonobos,
orangutans, chimpanzees, and gorillas—within three months of its
enactment.
Those protections for great apes are
now two years overdue.
The Jane Goodall Institute estimates
that about 140 great apes live in captivity in Spain, often under
cruel conditions.
Great apes do not deserve to be treated
as attractions, business assets, or subjects of laboratory
experiments, nor should they be kept in captivity—in zoos or
elsewhere.
Please sign our petition
supporting the Spanish organization Proyecto Gran Simio and speak
out for our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.
