SHOCKING TESTS EXPOSED INSIDE HUNTINGDON LIFE SCIENCES UK LAB.

Today a groundbreaking new documentary revealing the all too visible distress that lab primates face on a daily basis is revealed by Animal Defenders International (ADI). The ‘Save The Primates’ investigation exposes every aspect of the global primate trade across three continents, including one of Europe’s largest testing facilities – Huntingdon Life Sciences in Cambridgeshire.

The ADI video ‘Save The Primates’ reveals:

In South America owl monkeys scream as they are torn from the trees of the rainforest and from their families to be taken for malaria experiments in Colombia.

In Asia, monkeys in rusting, collapsing cages desperately shake their tiny prisons at a monkey supplier in Vietnam that has been approved by the UK Home Office, and in one year, supplied almost 500 monkeys to HLS.

In the UK, the most vivid insight ever of primates in commercial testing has been caught on film at Huntingdon Life Sciences in Cambridgeshire, with struggling monkeys strapped into chairs and forced to inhale products. Many are housed in 1 cubic metre cages and then taken out to be held down by workers as tubes are forced down their throats.

HLS in Cambridgeshire is a major contract testing operation for multi-national product brands which can hold up to 550 monkeys at a time. During the one-year ADI undercover investigation, 217 monkeys were killed in just five studies.

The new ‘Save the Primates’ report and investigation are part of a never-before-attempted comprehensive study linking primate research and the international primate trade to the alternatives that are now available.
