About Me

Uniting a Proactive Primate and Exotic Animal League is an organization to further the social welfare of nonhuman primates and other “termed” exotic pets in captivity by working to maintain the civil rights of responsible ownership of companion animals by individuals who choose to share their life with an alternative pet.

U.A.P.P.E.A.L is developed to protect the rights of conscientious private exotic pet owners willing to meet their multifaceted physical and social needs by lobbying to prevent unfair regulation, discouraging the casual acquisition of exotic pets through education, and further help with rescue and placement of abused, neglected and abandoned exotic animals as per the strict guidelines set forth by Uniting A Proactive Primate and Exotic Animal League.

If you own a exotic animal, other termed "dangerous or wild" species, or simply suport our cause please consider joining UAPPEAL, afterall we are fighting for YOU! To join click Here .
