Leading Mauritius religious and socio-cultural groups sign statement of concern in support of BUAV primate campaign
18/06/2012
We, the undersigned, are concerned about the plight of the long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) in Mauritius as a result of their exploitation for the research industry.
In particular, we draw attention to the suffering caused by their trapping, breeding, unnatural captivity and export. Mauritius is now the world’s second largest supplier of monkeys for research internationally and the nature, size and scale of the industry raise welfare issues.
We support the BUAV’s efforts to raise concerns about this trade.
