    About this ebook

    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 bioresearch, entertainment and pet industries.

    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.

    Monkey Business: A History Of Nonhuman Primate Rights examines the diverse issues involved with accepting mankind's closest relative into its ever-expanding circle of ethical consideration.

    Erika Fleury

    Erika Fleury was born in 1981 and grew up in Cranbury, New Jersey before her family moved to Avon, Connecticut when she was a teenager. It was right before graduating in 2003 from the University of Delaware with her English degree and a philosophy minor that Erika discovered primatology and she quickly became engrossed in the topic. Since then, she has taken undergraduate and graduate level primatology courses and volunteered at a major primate sanctuary, as well as continually self-educated on the stories, issues, and concerns related to nonhuman primates. Through networking via her volunteerism and involvement in primatology, she has met and developed relationships with some of the leaders in primatological research and sanctuary care, and their passion for the protections of nonhuman primates matches her own. She cares very deeply about this topic, and feels that by compiling and documenting this information, she can best contribute to the future protections of nonhuman primates. After living in many places, including San Diego and New York City, Erika and her incredibly supportive husband settled down in the northwest hills of Connecticut with their daughter and tiny dog.
