Conservation activists carry out a theatrical action to remind the adverse effects of the exploitation of long-tailed monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) in monkey mask activities while commemorating National Primate Day which is celebrated every January 30 in front of Gedung Sate, Bandung, Tuesday (1/30). Conservationists hope the government bans monkey mask activities because in addition to exploiting animals, the activity also has the potential to transmit zoonis or diseases from animals to humans such as rabies and tuberculosis. -JP / Arya Dipa / Adi / 19
