PLEASE TAKE ACTION MY FRIENDS ƬӇƛƝƘ ƳƠƲ petition.avaaz.org/en/petition/Stop_the_cruel_Mauritius_monkey_trade_4/ Why this is important: Mauritius is the second largest supplier of monkeys for the research industry in the world, exporting up to 10,000 animals every year. These animals are exported primarily to the USA and the European Union, in particular the UK, France and Spain. The BUAV has uncovered the slaughter of hundreds of monkeys, considered ‘surplus’ to requirement, including pregnant females and youngsters, at one of the largest primate breeding companies on the island, Noveprim Ltd. This senseless slaughter is just one part of the cruel trade in primates from the island. An earlier investigation carried out by the BUAV obtained evidence of the cruelty and suffering involved in the trapping and breeding of wild monkeys on Mauritius. They are torn from their families and jungle homes and imprisoned in unnatural conditions in large facilities, to produce babies who will later be exported thousands of miles to laboratories around the world to suffer in experiments.

If you have not already done so, please support the BUAV Cargo Cruelty campaign and write polite letters to Air France calling on the airline to end its involvement in the cruel international trade in primates for research: bit.ly/iDtvIX
