Monkey Day

Monkey Day is a holiday celebrated on December 14th each year. It was created in 2000 by two artists, Casey Sorrow and Eric Millikin, to recognize and appreciate the place of monkeys and other primates in the world. The holiday is intended to raise awareness of the intelligence and emotions of these animals, as well as to draw attention to the issues of primate conservation and animal rights. On Monkey Day, people often take time to learn more about different monkey species, visit zoos and wildlife preserves, or even watch monkey-themed movies and TV shows. Some people even dress up as monkeys or host monkey-themed parties or events to celebrate the holiday. It's a day for people to come together and appreciate monkeys and to think about the importance of their conservation.
