Put pressure on Interpol, to enforce against the illegal trading of Chimps.

What the petition asks

The heart-breaking BBC article (see below) details how easy it is for baby chimps to be traded illegally across waters. Putting pressure on and educating Interpol and Customs, could help more cases be uncovered and having a more severe punishment may act as a deterrent.
