Congress Acts to Ban Pet Chimps
Quote:
A week after a woman lay in critical condition after being mauled by a pet chimpanzee, the Captive Primate Safety Act passed bya 323-95 voted, with 93 Republicans in opposition.
The act would apply to the sale and transport of monkeys, great apes, lemurs, etc. The measure "makes it unlawful for a person to sell or purchase a live animal of any prohibited wildlife species in interstate or foreign commerce," according to a Library of Congress summary.

Flinty, this is going to cause some real problems in our talks with Vivid for the upcoming production of
The Bitches Wail for Prehensile Tails, but really it's just a matter of being creative. Under my new plan, Vivid won't "own" you anymore, but it will be something of a short-term leasing arrangement.
