VICTORY: Air France Backs Down!

Source.

We welcome February with some excellent news!  

Thank you to all of you who read and acted on yesterdays post asking you to contact Air France and ask them not to transport 60 live primates from Africa to the USA for vivisection purposes.  Within just 24 hours of Peta finding out about the planned Air France transportation and prompting all of us to take action, 68,000 e-mails, thousands of Facebook and Twitter posts along with hundreds of calls were generated in support.  Peta has now confirmed that Air France has cancelled their plans!

This once again proves that there really is strength in numbers and simply sparing a moment of your time to sign a petition or send an e-mail really makes a difference!

As always, there is still work to be done and we now need to continue to work on Air France and ask them to create a formal policy prohibiting future shipments of primates to animal testing labs.  Please click here in order to contact the Home Office and urge them not to weaken protection laws for animals in laboratories in the future.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

URGENT Stop Air France from transporting live Primates TOMORROW!

Tomorrow, Air France will be transporting a shipment of 60 live monkeys from Africa to the USA where they will be used for experiments.  

The monkeys will be shipped in small wooden crates from an African breeding facility to Paris, they will then travel to Chicago and be transported by truck to the notorious Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories (SNBL).  In December SNBL was exposed by Peta as particularly cruel to animals after many of them were physically and psychologically abused, deprived of veterinary care and left to suffer untreated wounds.

Almost every major airline refuses to participate in the transportation of primates for animal testing, however, Air France continues to profit from this industry.

If we act now there is still a chance to stop Air France from transporting the monkeys, please click here to contact Air France officials and ask them to cancel this shipment and ban all future transportation of primates for animal testing purposes. 

Please also ask your friends and family to do the same to ensure Air France are pressured to put a stop to their planned journey tomorrow.

Thank you.
