Look at the photo of Crystal, a main character on NBC’s upcoming Animal Practice. Now, consider this: The “smile” that Crystal exhibits on the show is actually an expression that indicates fear and stress in capuchin monkeys.

Monkeys like Crystal who are used for entertainment are taken away from their mothers shortly after birth—a practice that is deeply cruel to both the baby and the mother and that denies the infants the maternal care and nurturing that they need.

As they grow older, become sick, or are otherwise no longer wanted, most monkeys are discarded or sold into the pet trade.

Don’t watch Animal Practice! And take a moment to voice your concern about NBC’s use of Crystal and other wild animals to the chair of the company, Bob Greenblatt at NBCUniversalViewerFeedback@nbcuni.com.
