Government in #Singapore approved capture of wild long-tailed #macaques for use in fatal research inducing heart attacks, publicly funded in part by US taxpayer via #NIH grants. Shocking that native Endangered #monkeys forced to suffer & die in inhumane experiment.

Shocking report @NadaFarhoud in @DailyMirror. Shameful that wild animals, including #baboons, continue to be slaughtered for 'fun.' UK Gov must act to ban import of sickening hunting 'trophies'. More info from @CBTHunting: https://t.co/q35VPO4zZK https://t.co/DtrAQ31hdH

Woman in USA charged with conspiracy & distribution of animal crush videos. Alleged that Lynn Seymour of New Hampshire was involved with online #monkey torture groups dedicated to distributing videos depicting torture, killing & sexual abuse of monkeys. https://t.co/DkphRb1gqg

The exploitation & persecution of long-tailed #macaques in #Mauritius continues. This week, hundreds were transported by #Skytaxi to suffer & die in testing laboratories in Europe & USA. A relentless & inhumane trade in monkeys’ lives.

Rhesus #macaques bred to maltreat their infants @EmoryUniversity in attempt to 'model' human behaviour. Such research, which receives millions of US tax dollars, is responsible for much suffering on non-human primates. Speak out against this inhumanity:  https://t.co/skxbUIRcbH

Happening Now: A flight with hundreds of Endangered long-tailed #macaques from #Cambodia imprisoned on board is currently en route to #Montreal - destined for Charles River Labs. #SkyTaxi is scheduled to land @YMXAirport in a few hours. Shame on #Canada!

Today is #InternationalPrimateDay; a day to raise awareness about the plight of non-human #primates & the many threats they face from humans around the world. Please join us in taking action on their behalf: https://t.co/VZvzwofRNr

Over 41 hours after leaving #Vietnam, #SmartLynx has just landed at @JFKairport with 700 long-tailed #macaques destined for #Envigo. Forced to endure a gruelling ordeal, these monkeys now face certain death in US testing labs. This is a brutal & shameful trade in monkeys' lives.

Happening now: over 700 Endangered long-tailed #macaques are imprisoned in small crates on board a #SmartLynx Malta aircraft which has now left #Vietnam destined to arrive @JFKairport on 26 August. An inhumane & traumatic ordeal involving multiple international flights & stops.

We have been alerted to the plight of hundreds of Endangered long-tailed #macaques due to be transported by #SmartLynxMalta from #Vietnam - destined for testing labs in USA. A brutal trade in monkeys' lives. Let #SmartLynx know how cruel & inhumane this is: info@smartlynx.aero

Female #macaques used as human surrogates in dietary reproductive research at #ONPRC. Fed Western-style diet (high salt, saturated fats) & injected with male hormone. Ovaries removed after 12 months. Publicly funded @NIH. Speak out against this inhumanity: https://t.co/eURPcQZNUG

It is #InternationalOrangutanDay; a time to raise awareness about this critically endangered great ape & the threats they face from human activities. Tragically #orangutans can still be found languishing in zoos & exploited as photo 'props' for tourists to take selfies.

In 2024, the USA imported 900 long-tailed #macaques from #Indonesia; a total of 3,532 since 2021. Many of these individuals were cruelly captured from the wild, taken from their homes & families - infants ripped from their mothers. Victims of a brutal research & testing industry.

Long-tailed #macaque died in transit after gruelling 45h ordeal involving #SkyTaxi air transport from #Cambodia to #Canada. @AnimalProtectCA FOI request reveals shocking death took place in Aug 2024 after monkeys were stranded in Tbilisi for over 27h: https://t.co/yZEpO6Zkqa

Inhumane experiment in #Iran used rhesus #macaques as surrogate for human exposure to high voltage power transmission lines. For a month, one individual exposed to high voltage electric field for 4 hours a day.  https://t.co/nB2aJtBh8d

Infant macaques have been battered, mutilated & killed in agonizing ways, investigations by @LadyFreethinker & @Action4Primates have found. Progress is happening, yet videos continue to appear on private, encrypted chat platforms and even on mainstream #socialmedia like Facebook.

Shocking news: over 1000 #monkeys, imported from #Cambodia, but seized by US Fish & Wildlife Service in connection with its investigation into monkey trafficking, have now been returned to Charles River Laboratories & denied lifetime care in a sanctuary: https://t.co/2GmnCmZ0HX

Further action in USA against those suspected of involvement in online monkey torture groups facilitating violent & sexual abuse of baby #monkeys. Ariel Kornienko of Louisiana charged with distribution of "animal crush" videos.  https://t.co/YnE2L2xDx5

Call for CITES to investigate failure by #Mauritius to comply with its obligations under #CITES treaty regarding its trade in long-tailed #macaques - as exports in species escalate, including a resurgence in wild-capture. Read report by @topsy_tee https://t.co/SicKq9rWYW

This is a deplorable & immoral act by Tiergarten #Nürnberg zoo in #Germany. 12 healthy Guinea #baboons killed because of the zoo's failure to prevent breeding.
