The international trade in primates sees 32,000 wild non-human primates (NHPs) trapped and sold on the international market every year.^{[citation needed]} They are sold mostly for use in animal testing^{[citation needed]}, but also for food, for exhibition in zoos and circuses, and for private use as companion animals^{[citation needed]}.
