This morning, January 17, 2007, the Today Show AGAIN featured several primates and other animals in a segment about the movie "Evan Almighty". Ann Curry held a scared infant orangutan while the hosts discussed how long and difficult the training process for getting them used to the unnatural environment of entertainment is.

Please write and let them know there is a reason this training process is long and involved and that you do not support the Today Show's promotion of non human primates and other wild animals in the entertainment industry.
