Noted and thank you Brenda for bringing this story to our attention.
Shame on all those responsible for this despicable exploitation of the Monkeys; it is totally inhumane! All species we share our planet with deserve respect and compassion, we have a moral responsibility to protect the defenseless and voiceless from harm. To deprive the Monkeys of their freedom and natural environment to live in and raise their families is not acceptable to any decent human being! All those involved in this atrocity should be jailed. Research and testing on animals is just cruel, morally wrong and outdated in this age of technology.

I echo Joy's sentiments. These people don't deserve life. Life is a gift of love and comapassion to share. I sometimes wonder if these sadists have souls. If they do, they are certainly destined to go to hell, the sooner the better.

The link leads to the website, but it is under re-construction. The video works.

Air transportation contributes to further suffering, even death. Primates destined for the research industry are packed into small wooden crates (usually too small to allow them to stand up) and travel as cargo, predominantly on passenger air flights, to destinations around the world. In addition to the cramped conditions, the monkeys may have to endure inadequate ventilation, noise and extreme temperature fluctuations as they are shipped on extremely long journeys to research laboratories globally.

The primate research industry is now dependent on a dwindling number of airlines. Air
France, Philippine Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Carribean Airlines, China Eastern and China Southern Airlines and Korean Air are some of the airlines that have shipped thousands of primates, some trapped in the wild, to destinations around the world, during 2007-2008. Examples include:

Air France transported wild caught macaques from Mauritius and captive bred macaques from Vietnam to the USA.
China Eastern and China Southern Airlines both transported thousands of macaques from China to the USA.
Caribbean Airlines transported African green monkeys from Barbados and capuchins and tamarinds from Guyana. All had been captured in the wild.
Philippine Airlines transported macaques from Indonesia to the USA.
Both American Airlines and Continental Airlines have transported primates from the USA to Europe.
