Thousands of primates are shipped each year from places like China and Vietnam to the United States and European Union to be used for all kinds of experiments. These monkeys are crammed into small wooden cages and are transported in the cargo hold and under unknowing passengers for up to 30 hours. Once off the flight, they are driven to companies like Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories. Here they endure painful medical testing and some are shipped off again to other private companies in which they are crippled, cut into pieced, stabbed, poisoned, shocked, and made addicted to drugs.
Why is this important?
It isn't hard to show compassion to the innocent monkeys that are taken out of their native habitat solely to be abused in medical research facilities. The more this is voiced, the more monkeys can be saved from a horrible life and slow, painful death.
