Hundreds of non-native, free-living green monkeys call the Caribbean territory of St. Maarten home. Now, the government plans to kill these animals as a means of controlling the monkeys' growing numbers.

This kind of deadly "management" is cruel and unnecessary, as compassionate non-lethal options exist.

Please sign and share our petition to the government of St. Maarten, calling for the development of a humane sterilization program that will save the monkeys' lives and prevent further population growth.
