Stop airlines transporting monkeys for animal experiments
Our international campaign is stopping airlines from flying monkeys around the world for animal research
The issue
These monkeys originate from countries such as Mauritius, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Indonesia, Tanzania and Barbados. Some are trapped in the wild while others are bred in captivity, usually in large-scale facilities.
They are ripped from their family groups, packed into small wooden crates and travel as cargo, predominantly on passenger air flights, on extremely long journeys to animal research laboratories around the world.
