In Vietnam, primates are commonly hunted and traded as pet and for meat and medicine. Many people believe that eating primate meat or drinking alcoholic made from primate’s parts make them stronger and healthier. In reality, they could be infected by unexpected diseases from the wildlife. In addition, the illegal consumption of primate products pushes the primate to the brink of extinction.
Let’s say No to endangered primate products so that our children could still be able to observe it in the wild
