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

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.

Today is #EndangeredSpeciesDay, a day to remind us of the fragility of many species, including non-human primates, whose future is under threat as a result of their exploitation & persecution by humans. We need to protect & preserve the environment, biodiversity & wildlife.

Captive Primate Safety Act reintroduced in US Congress. This important Act would ban the keeping of non-human primates as 'pets,' protecting both animals & people. Thank you Mike Quigley, Rep.

Thank you Bury Times for reporting on this important issue. As a shareholder in Manchester Airport, Bury Council is being urged to take a stand against inhumane monkey flights that bring hundreds of Endangered monkeys through the airport each year for UK testing laboratories.

We have been alerted to the plight of hundreds of #monkeys in #Vietnam & #Mauritius due to be transported by SmartLynx Malta in the coming weeks. These Endangered long-tailed #macaques are destined for the cruel global research & toxicity (poisoning) testing industry.
