A capuchin monkey (tag 8219) was contained in a transport enclosure that had no handle, no protruding rim for ventilation, and for which the openings in the sides of the enclosure were large enough to allow the animal to reach through. Cages for other nonhuman primates including an infant ring-tailed lemur (tag 8036), and an infant squirrel monkey (tag 6756), also had ventilation openings that were large enough to allow the animals to put limbs outside the enclosure in a way that could cause injury to the animal. The squirrel monkey was observed repeatedly putting its arms through the openings in the wire door of the enclosure. Animals that put body parts outside of their transport enclosure may become injured or may injure other animals nearby. Correct by ensuring that nonhuman primates are contained in enclosures that keep all body parts inside the enclosure.
