Lab breeding slum that has Home Office backing.
By Amy Nelmes

Crammed into a rusty wire cage with barely enough room to
stand, a bewildered monkey looks out on row after row of
similar cages.
This is the grim scene in a Vietnamese breeding centre which
supplies animals to British laboratories - with official
backing of the UK Government.
In one bleak concrete and wire-fenced building run by a
company called Nafovanny, monkeys live inside small rusting
cages barely a metre tall, only just larger than the animals
standing upright.
Some cages are in a state of collapse and lean at different
angles in the pictures shot last autumn by campaign group
Animal Defenders International.
Now ADI are calling for the Home Office - which is responsible
for setting standards for laboratory primates in Britain and
overseas - to withdraw Nafovanny's licence.
Adi campaigns director Tim Phillips said: "These are some of
the most appalling conditions I have ever seen inside a
laboratory animal dealer's. Despite claims to the contrary our
Home Office and UK labs appear powerless when it comes to
establishing welfare standards for suppliers. Or worse, they
are turning a blind eye to the suffering of these animals."
Three years ago the Home Office threatened to withdraw
Nafovanny's licence but was assured improvements had been
made.
Adi claims this decision was based on edited video footage,
photos and reports. Nafovanny supplied nearly 500 monkeys to
controversial testing firm Huntingdon Life Sciences in
Cambridgeshire last year.
Hls managing director Brian Cass said: "We try to ensure the
best conditions for our primates where they are bred." A Home
office spokesman said: "Our inspectors last visited Nafovanny
in 2007. We require all places that breed and supply animals
for research in the UK to work to high welfare standards
