Tell Wildwoods Convention Center to Cancel Exploitive Monkey "Show"

[Ed. Note: It is NOT possible to transport animals around the country and force them to perform in any way that is humane. It is cruelty for profit.]

FROM People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

ACTION

Tell Wildwoods Convention Center in Wildwood, New Jersey to cancel the upcoming a live show on Sunday, September 4, called "Going Bananas With Crystal the Monkey." Poor Crystal has been featured in a number of recent films, including The Hangover Part II, Zookeeper, and the upcoming We Bought a Zoo. She is constantly being hauled around from set to set and forced to walk the red carpet at movie premieres to get a cheap laugh.

And demand they declare they will not use animals for "entertainment" in the future.
