Stop the Baby Trade: Send message to airlines that ship animals for vivisection

Please send message to airlines requesting they cease to ship animals for experimentation.  BUAV has provided a sample letter and address details; the addresses are listed first as a group followed by individual details. (I have received three undeliverable addresses back but will keep them in.)


BACKGROUND | FROM BUAV

A BUAV investigation has obtained secret film and other evidence of monkeys shipped around the world by major passenger airlines. We can reveal shipments of monkeys transported by Air France to Covance in the USA and Centre de Primatologie in France and by Vietnam Airlines for Belgrave Services, a primate dealer in the UK. Other major passenger airlines to play a role in the brutal trade in primates for research include Air Canada which ships monkeys from countries such as China to laboratories in Canada and both China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines, which fly monkeys to the USA.

Every year tens of thousands of primates are transported by air around the world for the international research industry. These monkeys originate from countries such as Mauritius, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Indonesia, Tanzania and Barbados. Some are trapped in the wild while others are bred in captivity usually in large-scale facilities. They are ripped from their family groups, packed into small wooden crates and travel as cargo, predominantly on passenger air flights, on extremely long journeys to research laboratories around the world.

The BUAV has led the international campaign to end these shipments of misery. Over the years, our efforts have moved many airlines to dissociate themselves from this cruel trade. Airlines that do not transport primates include British Airways, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Northwest Airlines, Qantas Airways, South African Airways, Delta Airlines, Eva Air, Qatar Airways and China Airlines. However, a small number of passenger airlines continue to be involved in this ugly business.

SAMPLE LETTER:

To Whom It Concerns,

I am writing in support of the BUAV Cargo Cruelty campaign: http://www.buav.org/cargocruelty

I was shocked to learn that your airline is involved in the transportation of monkeys to laboratories. It is unacceptable that these sensitive animals, ripped from their families and homes, are then subjected to the stress of being packed into small crates and shipped as cargo on your airline to end up in laboratories where they will suffer in experiments.

I urge you to join the increasing number of airlines that have made the decision to stop their involvement in this cruelty. Until you do, I will not be flying with your airline.

Thank you for reading this important message.

vivisection in the name of “science”
we do not accept and stand in defiance
what does all that cruelty do
only cause pain to who science is
doing it to
if the tables were quickly turned
scientist would not like being
cut up and or burned
