Shockingly, trapping is permitted not just on private land but on National Wildlife Refuges; places where all animals should be safe from harm.

The Refuge from Cruel Trapping Act would ban the use of body-gripping traps on wildlife refuges.

Pablito's BFF is Wally, who came to the sanctuary after being kept as a pet until he attacked a member of his owner's family.

They love to splash around in their pool during the warmer months. They are constantly grooming one another & playing together!

Since then, he has healed from his injuries, bulked up, and made monkey friends!

When Pablito first came to the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary in March 2024, he was underweight, anemic, and seriously injured from being hit by a car.

Pablito the rhesus macaque has gone through quite the transformation thanks to the dedication and hard work of the team of caregivers and veterinary staff at the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary.
