The Huaorani must not have been brought to the attention of animal smugglers because the monkey meal represents $$$thousands... exotic pet smuggling is supposedly bigger than drug smuggling....
Over half of world's wild primate species face extinction
Woolly Monkey feast...
https://www.theguardian.com › Environment › Endangered species 2 days ago - More than half of the world's apes, monkeys, lemurs and lorises are now threatened with extinction as agriculture and industrial activities destroy forest habitats and the animals’ populations are hit by hunting and trade.
Young monkeys caught to be sold as pets
Hunting by people is affecting Gray Woolly Monkeys even more than deforestation.
Young Gray Woolly Monkeys are popular pets.
The hunters
shoot down the mother monkey with a gun and take away the young monkeys
to sell as pets.
Efforts to protect Gray Woolly Monkeys are underway,
but their numbers are still declining and if things continue as they
are, they may become extinct.
