Monkey Business: A History of Nonhuman Primate Rights by Erika Fleury (English)

Description: Monkey Business by Erika Fleury Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Monkey Business: A History of Nonhuman Primate Rights examines the diverse issues involved with accepting mankinds closest relative into its ever-expanding circle of ethical consideration. Apes, monkeys, and other nonhuman primates have a dual role in modern society. They are revered for their intelligence, uncanny mimicry, and biological relation to humans, yet are often forced to spend entire lifetimes as unwilling participants in the research, entertainment, and pet industries. Media coverage of topics like primate pet attacks and exotic animal legislative changes have been steadily increasing. The treatment of nonhuman primates is evolving as technology improves the way research is conducted, exotic animal legislation becomes increasingly restrictive, and public outcries arise in response to advertisements using ape actors. Judicial systems throughout the world are granting nonhuman primates new legal protections, and the inherent rights of various primate species are being explored more than ever before. In response to this topic of increasing relevance, Monkey Business: A History of Nonhuman Primate Rights is the first objective, comprehensive book to document the state of nonhuman primates in modern culture. Author Biography Erika Fleury fell in love with primatology while completing her English degree at University of Delaware. After much involvement with primate sanctuaries, she decided to write about the protections of nonhuman primates because she feels that by documenting information related to their welfare, she can best contribute to their future well-being. Erika lives in the northwest hills of Connecticut with her husband, daughter, and tiny dog.
