Woman in USA pleads guilty in horrific monkey torture case. Amanda Leigh Fourez from Illinois was a member of “deranged online chat groups” that paid others to make torture videos inflicting unimaginable violence on baby #monkeys. abc3340.com/news/nation-...

Every year, #Mauritius exports many thousands of long-tailed #macaques to toxicity (poisoning) testing laboratories in the UK, Europe & USA to suffer & die in regulatory toxicity tests. Please help them: toxicity.inc www.lemauricien.com/actualites/s...

Today, the UK Parliament will debate a petition on animal testing. The public outcry following the recent release of shocking images of beagles, monkeys & other animals suffering in toxicity tests in UK labs adds urgency to this important debate. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Urgent action if you are a UK citizen or resident: Please go to toxicity.inc & contact your MP today. These outdated, scientifically unreliable & cruel toxicity tests must end. These #monkeys & other animals suffering in UK testing labs urgently need your help.

The tragic fate #monkeys face in UK testing labs. Hundreds of Endangered long-tailed #macaques - originating from #Mauritius & #Vietnam - are imported into the UK every year through @manairport to be used in toxicity tests. tinyurl.com/yx69at39

What they do not want you to see: inside UK animal toxicity testing labs: toxicity.inc (WARNING: Distressing images) Please contact your MP today: toxicity.inc Urge them to support end to animal toxicity testing & fast-track adoption of more reliable, humane & human-relevant testing methods.

This is the secretive world of animal toxicity testing. Filmed in the UK, but carried out for global regulatory authorities, these outdated, scientifically unreliable & cruel tests must stop. These #monkeys & other animals urgently need your help: toxicity.inc

Heart-breaking images from inside UK laboratories reveal disturbing insight into suffering of monkeys, beagles, rats, mini-pigs & rabbits in toxicity tests for regulatory purposes. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

We were alerted this week by a concerned source at JFK @JFKairport, to hundreds of #monkeys being transported by #SkyTaxi from #Mauritius to Florida @iflymia; victims of the cruel global trade in long-tailed #macaques for the US research & toxicity (poisoning) testing industry.

In #Germany, researchers have genetically modified #marmosets to be born deaf. Instead of focusing efforts on developing humane & human-relevant ways to study hearing loss in people, it is unforgivable #monkeys continue to suffer as surrogates for humans. tinyurl.com/5t3jfbbv

Today is Hanuman Jayanti #Hindu festival in Mauritius, honouring Lord Hanuman. #Monkeys are revered as representations of the 'monkey god'. Sadly, no reverence for #Mauritius long-tailed macaques who are ruthlessly exploited with almost 15,000 exported to suffer & die in labs in US & Europe in 2025.

Attempt to smuggle long-tailed #macaques from #Thailand into #Cambodia foiled. @ThaiEnquirer reports 51 macaques rescued 300m from border. Stark reminder of threats faced by this IUCN Red Listed Endangered species; needs greater protection from #CITES not less. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsPj...

In 2025, #Mauritius exported almost 15,000 long tailed #macaques including to the USA, Canada & Europe. Shipped as air cargo, they were sent to labs to suffer & die in research & toxicity (poisoning) tests. This is an appalling way to treat these sentient & intelligent beings.

Story of 'Punch' shines light on cruel fate of snow monkeys in their native #Japan, often killed as a result of negative interactions with people. We hope a shift in public opinion will result in humane co-existance without resorting to killing #monkeys. www.thestar.com.my/aseanplus/as...

Please speak up for #marmosets deliberately brain damaged with toxins & killed at #CambridgeUniversity in an attempt to mimic humans with schizophrenia. It’s long overdue to stop the inhumane & immoral use of nonhuman primates as 'surrogates' for humans. tinyurl.com/wuzv87bf

USA - another guilty plea in monkey torture conspiracy case. Robert Craig of North Carolina has pleaded guilty to involvement in online #monkey torture group that created & distributed videos depicting extreme violence & sadistic abuse of baby monkeys. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/north...

Hundreds of long-tailed #macaques - destined for testing labs - exported from #Mauritius endure a 28 hour transport ordeal to USA on #SkyTaxi. Stopping @JFKairport before final destination - #Miami @iflymia. This is a relentless and brutal trade in monkeys' lives.

Citizens & residents of #Canada: please sign e-petition (e-7020) to help protect Endangered long-tailed macaques from #Cambodia who are being imported by Canada for testing laboratories. Bill initiated by @AnimalProtectCA & sponsored @MelArnoldMP: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

In #Japan, snow monkeys suffer invasive brain surgery & death in meaningless experiment to study what lies behind motivation in people. Heartbreaking that these #macaques - revered throughout history in Japan - can be exploited & treated so inhumanely. tinyurl.com/mr2er2ya

The failure by the #Mauritius government to respond to international concerns about the global trade & transport of long-tailed #macaques & questions over the country's compliance with the #CITES convention has been reported by @lexpressmaurice: lexpress.mu/s/maurice-so...

Decision by Charles River to buy monkey farm in Cambodia for $510 million to ensure its own source of long-tailed macaques for toxicity (poisoning) testing is contrary to recent statements by US government agencies to reduce animal testing.

Garrett Fitzgerald, from Scituate, #Massachusetts is the latest person to be imprisoned for his role in online baby #monkey torture groups. We welcome ongoing US crackdown on these depraved & sadistic people. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Rhesus macaques used as 'models' of human alcoholism in USA; fourteen female monkeys force-fed alcohol to simulate chronic binge drinking, infected with virus, then killed @LSUHealthNO; paid for with US taxpayer money. Please speak out against this cruelty: tinyurl.com/whynk83r

Today is #SunshineSaturday! Before booking your holiday in the sun, remember the persecuted #monkeys in #Mauritius. In 2024, over 14,000 long-tailed macaques were sent to suffer & die in testing labs in USA, EU & UK. Call on @GovMauritius & @SeeMauritius to end this cruel trade.
