Yesterday, #SkyTaxi landed @Dulles_Airport with, we suspect, hundreds of Endangered long-tailed #macaques from #Vietnam imprisoned on board. Other recent transports from #Mauritius & #Cambodia; a relentless & inhumane trade in sentient beings by the toxicity (poisoning) testing industry.

Thousands of long-tailed macaques are exported by #Mauritius every year to suffer & die in toxicity (poisoning) testing laboratories in the USA, EU & UK. Shame on @Ramgoolam_Dr & @SeeMauritius - the reputation of Mauritius as a holiday paradise is tarnished by such inhumanity to #monkeys.

To study the effects of social & spatial deprivation, researchers from Russia deliberately forced nine rhesus macaques to live singly in cages. Not surprisingly, they found that the macaques became 'depressed'. When will such inhumanity stop? (doi.org/10.1007/s105...)
