Created as a network for Professional Primate Caregivers - zookeepers, lab

or sanctuary workers, for example - a place for them to meet, share information

and ideas, with the common goal of a better life for the primates in our care.



Any topic related to primate care is welcome. Sensitive issues, if on topic, are

fine and anonymous posting will be allowed to protect anyone worried about

their job. Healthy debate and disagreements that make us all think are

encouraged. However, all posts are subject to approval and no open attacks

on another list member or their organization will be tolerated. Opinions should

be stated respectfully, as one professional to another, and claims should be

backed up with evidence.



This is not the place to air your personal beefs with your employer, though

true issues of animal care are fine. Also, information about your workplace,

their policies, procedures and hiring practices, is welcome as a service to

those considering changing jobs, since this will often involve a major move.



This is not the place to debate whether any of the organizations list members

work for should exist. Private pet owners, pet dealers and breeders should seek

out one of the lists especially designed for them.
