Bioneer.ee mediates that HSI UK (Humane Society International UK) managed to obtain the European Commission’s support in order to replace a TV commercial where a monkey on a leash was used.
Trading of exotic animals is a serious problem in the EU.

HSI is dedicated to stopping the use of these animals in the entertainment industry or selling them as pets.

HSI was very irritated when they saw the EU- sponsored commercial, where a woman was holding a monkey on a leash and the monkey took the woman’s cigarette.
