SIGN: REMOVE HORRIFIC BABY MONKEY TORTURE GROUPS FROM TELEGRAM

By Emily Raap

This is a joint campaign by #LadyFreethinker and #ActionForPrimates.

Videos showing extreme cruelty to baby monkeys are spreading rapidly on social media – especially #Telegram, a popular encrypted messaging service.

In 2021, Lady Freethinker published a report in partnership with Action for Primates on one of the first big private monkey hater groups on Telegram – #Milliontears.
