Regarding Animals (1996)

Arluke, A. B. , Sanders C. R.

Abstract

Problems related to inadequate attitudes and behavior of animal care personnel toward nonhuman primates are described and discussed. Cowboys saw the primates as having unattractive personalities. As one described them, I don't get attached because of their personality, their demeanor. They're kind of nasty little creatures, I think. Every single one, you walk into their room and they give you this scowl. It's their way of telling you, back off (p. 110).
