New report reveals sharp rise in online sale of primates on social media in US
A joint report from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) found over 1,600 primates listed for sale on major US social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) during a six-week mid-2025 period, often disguised as rehoming to evade restrictions. The findings highlight risks to endangered primate populations, animal welfare, public safety, and call for stronger enforcement and policy measures to curb this growing digital marketplace.
