The boss of Monkey World wants tighter rules on the 'out of control' pet trade.
Monkey World has been working with the government to create laws to protect monkeys that are kept privately in England
"A lot of people who purchase these monkeys from unscrupulous breeders and dealers think it's OK because it's not illegal," she added., the government said it would ban the keeping, breeding and selling of primates by those without "a relevant licence". She said: "If you're keeping a monkey, it will have to have outdoor enclosures, specialist veterinary care and you'll have to keep records, just like every wildlife park or rescue centre in this country."Since 1989, Monkey World has rescued 129 animals, across 15 different species, from the UK pet trade
