Part two for @mongabay.bsky.social - we look at how monkey smugglers in #Thailand are likely supplying long-tailed macaque breeding farms in #Laos.

A devastating, detailed report exposing widespread monkey smuggling for U.S. buyers like Charles River Labs. “The real question isn’t just how Charles River has gotten away with this, but why the U.S. government continues to let them.” - Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel
Latest for @mongabay.bsky.social digs into the dubious data #Cambodia and #Vietnam are providing to global wildlife trade regulator CITES regarding the trade of endangered long-tailed macaques. The demand from US biomedical research firms is driving prolific monkey smuggling syndicates across SEA.

This kind of news makes me never want to move back to Utah. Proud to see my OR Governor @govtinakotek.bsky.social taking a stand against the OHSU primate center, which imprisons 5000 primates and subjects them to needless and cruel experiments with our tax dollars. Shut it down

Can we stop doing animal ag’s work for them yet?

Imagine growing old in this hell hole. Never being able to play, feel the warmth of the sun, or a comfortable bed to rest. Please take action, let’s shut it down.
Dogs trapped at High Quality Research are rented out for tests—they were mutilated without pain relief, locked in windowless rooms, & more. Elderly cats & dogs are warehoused, wasting away until the next test.
