The Kaslo Primates were mentioned in the summer of 2001 by First Vice President and Regional Director (Kootenays), Mary Lou Troman at the Community Consultation in Victoria. She said then that something had to be done about them.

Not only that, but Bennett and Kurenka were complained about to the SPCA for years by many local people.

These primates were finally seized more than a year later in November of 2002.
