The University of Washington primate center has welcomed 4 directors over the last 5 years. Each one presiding over gross animal welfare violations. The only solution is to SHUT IT DOWN.

What role does the presence of simian varicella virus, Herpes B, valley fever and/or chagas infections among the macaques play in halting incoming shipments University of Washington ?

The excruciating fear and terror that monkeys feel when ripped from their homes in Asia and Mauritius, boxed up and crammed into the cargo holds of Ethiopian Airlines is palpable. The zoonotic disease threat is real. Scott Taylor isn’t letting people forget!

Thank you Sharif Hassan for shining a megawatt spotlight Charles River Labs primate importation pipeline that funnels diseased, distressed, wild-caught monkeys around the globe. Long-tailed macaques die, public health is jeopardized and science is compromised.

Thousands of macaques imported by Charles River Labs from Cambodia. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Department of Justice are investigating alleged wildlife trafficking and now the scientific community is speaking up. Shut down the primate importation pipeline.

Two women in the #UK are due to be sentenced this week for their role in a sadistic global monkey torture ring that paid for & ordered baby #monkeys to be brutally tortured & killed in #Indonesia to create videos to post online for 'entertainment'.

Do the right thing NIH & release the escaped Alpha Genesis monkeys to a sanctuary 🚨 A concerned couple has offered $250,000 to PETA for sanctuary placement so the monkeys would NEVER be sent to a lab! Get the full story here ⤵️ peta.vg/3zan

The door needs to be shut on Alpha Genesis immediately . Those monkeys endured excruciating deaths. "Some of the monkeys died quickly, but others were still breathing and lying unresponsive on their sides, according to the witness."

Evidence of wholesale wild monkey laundering in Cambodia is undeniable. Tens of thousands of long-tailed macaques caught up in the primate importation pipeline will arrive diseased or die between now and when CITES Standing Committee meets again. Who is paying CITES to delay?

OHSU has a long, shameful history of animal suffering, wasted tax dollars, and failed science. Their reckless disregard for biosecurity not only endangers public health but also condemns macaques to even more suffering. Shut it down.

Macaques can’t file flight plans and don't attend press conferences (yet)—but thanks to AviationSource, their story gets out. His reporting makes sure SmartLynx Airlines can’t hide what it’s flying: terrified, sometimes sick monkeys caught in a brutal global trade.
