Cabinet Secretary, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals consider that there’s a hidden problem in Wales in terms of monkeys and other primates. They think that around 120 are being kept as pets in Wales, and some of them at least will be suffering unnecessarily, as a result of inadequate care and the fact that they’re not suitable for being kept as domestic animals. The RSPCA are, in fact, calling for a total ban on the keeping of monkeys and other primates as pets in Wales. Will you consider the case for such a ban?
