This Week: #Mauritius is exporting 100s of #monkeys to suffer & die in testing labs. Taken from family, imprisoned in small crates & transported across the world; likely destination to suffer in cruel toxicity (poisoning) tests. This is a brutal & immoral trade in monkeys' lives.

SmartLynx has now left #Mauritius, with around 800 long-tailed #macaques imprisoned on board. These sensitive & intelligent monkeys-destined for US labs-are being subjected to a shocking & traumatic ordeal, with multiple flights & stopovers. Shame on Dr Navin Ramgoolam official & Mauritius Tourism

Shameful experiment in USA - funded by NIH - area of brain essential for hand motor control deliberately destroyed in rhesus #macaques to cause damage to hand in order to study human hand function recovery-substantial suffering for #monkeys. Take action: tinyurl.com/y5w2nz94

800 macaques currently imprisoned in crates on board #SmartLynx which left #Mauritius over 24 hours ago. Many hours still to go via Boston Logan International Airport & John F. Kennedy Airport to Miami - Miami Int'l Airport - landing around 4am on 15 May. #Monkeys are victims of the cruel & inhumane US testing industry.

Hundreds of #monkeys exported from #Mauritius to US testing labs - on #SmartLynx Malta - endured a 43 hour ordeal, involving 7 flights & 6 stopovers. A distressing & terrifying experience for these intelligent, sensitive & social animals. Shame on Dr Navin Ramgoolam official & Mauritius Tourism
