Pregnant rhesus #macaques at #ONPRC in USA were fed the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis (THC) in a cruel & inhumane experiment publicly funded @NIH. When just 6 months old, their babies were taken from them & killed. Please speak up for these monkeys: tinyurl.com/ye29swsc

A #SkyTaxi aircraft has just landed at Montreal-Mirabel Airport, #Canada. Imprisoned on board are hundreds of Endangered long-tailed macaques from #Cambodia, destined for Charles River Laboratories. Victims of the brutal, global trade in #macaques for toxicity testing.

Shame on #Canada for continuing to import Endangered long-tailed #macaques from #Cambodia despite CITES concerns over trade in the country. SkyTaxi to transport the monkeys to Montreal @YMXAirport on 20 October 2026 for Charles River Laboratories. news.mongabay.com/2026/10/ca…

Action for Primates welcomes continued CITES scrutiny of the long-tailed macaque trade from Cambodia. Their plight – the most heavily traded non-human primate species & the most widely used in research & toxicity testing – has never been more desperate. news.mongabay.com/2026/10/ca…

How many more convictions will it take before social media platforms finally take this heinous issue seriously? They are allowing violent content that is not only cruel & damaging to animals but is also harming children & the wider community. dailymail.com/news/article-1…
This latest horrific baby monkey torture case in the UK must serve as a wake-up call to social media platforms who need to comply with their obligations under the Online Safety Act to remove this cruel, dangerous & harmful content from their platforms. thesun.co.uk/news/40629736/m…

Amanda Leigh Fourez of Illinois sentenced to 31 months in prison - the latest person in USA to be jailed for conspiring with others to fund, commission & distribute “animal crush videos,” depicting the extreme violence, torture & sexual abuse of monkeys: wtaj.com/crime/woman-sentenc…
Today #SkyTaxi landed @Dulles_Airport with, we suspect, hundreds of Endangered long-tailed #macaques from #Vietnam imprisoned on board. Other recent transports from #Mauritius & #Cambodia. This is a relentless & inhumane trade in sentient beings by the toxicity testing industry.

Non-human primates continue to be exploited & persecuted - hunted for 'fun', food, as 'pests'. Others captured alive for breeding or use in testing labs, sold as 'pets' or abused for social media content. Please take action on #WorldAnimalDay - 4 October: actionforprimates.org

Monkeys are now the second most popular threatened animal shot by trophy hunters worldwide. It is time to ban these sick 'souvenirs'. Please sign @CBTHunting petition to PM Andy Burnham: actionnetwork.org/petitions/… #BanTrophyHunting

Thousands of long-tailed macaques are exported by #Mauritius every year to suffer & die in toxicity testing laboratories in the USA, EU & UK. Shame on @Ramgoolam_Dr & @SeeMauritius - the reputation of Mauritius as a holiday paradise is tarnished by such inhumanity to #monkeys.

To study the effects of social & spatial deprivation, researchers in #Russia deliberately forced nine rhesus macaques to live singly in cages. Not surprisingly, they found that the #macaques became 'depressed.' When will such inhumanity stop? [doi.org/10.1007/s10517-026-0…]
