Action for Primates

At @VanderbiltU in #Tennessee, electric currents & poison used to destroy brains of squirrel #monkeys to look at effects on part of brain controlling their hand movements. This brutal research was publicly funded through @NIH. Speak up for the monkeys: tinyurl.com/y4va3bep

Protest held against inhumane proposal to remove #baboon troops from #CapePeninsula, #SouthAfrica; fears that some baboons may be killed. Call for humane management alternatives & effective methods for human-baboon coexistence. thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/cape…

Dressing #capuchins as 'jockeys' & attaching them to dogs in 'Banana Derby' races @portercofair (Porter County Fair) in #Indiana is not 'entertainment'. It is a cruel spectacle; frightening & stressful & not 'fun' for the monkeys.

Photo taken on 15 July 2025 shows hundreds of Endangered long-tailed #macaques imprisoned inside small crates being unloaded from #SkyTaxi at @YMXAirport. Monkeys transported from #Cambodia to #Canada by Charles River lab in ordeal lasting over 25 hours. globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

Shame on #Canada for continuing to allow Endangered long-tailed #macaques to be imported from #Cambodia by Charles River Laboratories. Hundreds were transported by #SkyTaxi & arrived at @YMXAirport on 15 July. Their likely fate is to be used in toxicity (poisoning) tests.

Alpha Genesis, a #monkey testing facility in South Carolina that also supplies monkeys to other laboratories, has been issued an official warning by the USDA following the shocking deaths of 22 macaques in 2024 who died from carbon monoxide exposure. live5news.com/2025/07/15/usd…

Plight of #baboons at Nuremberg Zoo, #Germany is a tragic example of why it's immoral to imprison animals in zoos. This is not 'education' nor 'conservation'. These Guinea baboons should not have to suffer because of the zoo's failure to prevent breeding. themunicheye.com/nuremberg-zoo-…

A woman who called herself 'Sadistic Queen' jailed for 3 years for conspiracy to create & distribute 'animal crush' videos. Stacey Storey of Alabama was part of an online group responsible for the torture, sexually sadistic mutilation & killing of baby #monkeys in #Indonesia.

Instead of releasing them to a sanctuary to live out the remainder of their lives, pregnant rhesus #macaques, no longer needed for breeding, were treated as disposable commodities & slaughtered for their wombs in callous @NIH funded research @UWMadison. tinyurl.com/pmrx3fs2

We welcome sentencing of 'Doc Antle', from #MyrtleBeachSafari in SC. He presented himself as a conservationist, but was heavily involved in the trafficking of endangered wild animals, including baby #chimpanzees, falsified documents & money laundering. cbsnews.com/news/doc-antle…

It has been over 37 hours since #SmartLynx left #Mauritius. 700 #monkeys, destined for US testing labs, still imprisoned on board, enduring a gruelling ordeal, involving multiple international flights & stops. Plane now at @BostonLogan with Miami - @iflymia - final destination.

Recent injuries & deaths highlight vulnerability of #baboons in #CapeTown trying to survive in urban areas. March to take place on 19 July calling for their protection: 'No to Killing -Yes to Solutions: March for Cape Town’s Baboons:' iol.co.za/news/south-afr…

700 long-tailed #macaques from #Mauritius - destined for US testing labs - have arrived at @JFKairport. Subjected to a lengthy 39 hour ordeal transported by #SmartLynx Malta, which is now returning to Mauritius to pick up hundreds of more monkeys - a relentless & brutal trade.

SmartLynx Malta has left #Mauritius with over 700 terrified #monkeys imprisoned on board destined for @JFKairport. These sentient #macaques face unimaginable suffering & certain death in US testing labs. Shame on @SeeMauritius Send Email to Tourism Ministry: [email protected]

Report @JournoJane - in 2023, body parts from 28 endangered or threatened species imported into UK, including #baboons & #vervets. Shameful that wild animals continue to be slaughtered for 'fun.' Gov must act to ban import of sickening hunting 'trophies': the-independent.com/news/uk/home-n…

ALERT: hundreds of monkeys to be exported by #Mauritius in next 10 days, destined for testing labs. Please tell Ministry of Tourism & @SeeMauritius that reputation of country as holiday destination is tarnished by this brutal trade in #monkeys: [email protected] & [email protected]
