Target the Mauritian Monkey Trade

NAVA | 10.10.2010 12:14 | Animal Liberation

"One young female monkey caught in a small trap desperately tried to escape capture and to return to her family. A large male ran to her aid but was unable to protect her and could only watch helplessly from the forest." - Undercover Investigator - Noveprim, 2010

This week, a damning expose of the Mauritian monkey trade has been released, showing the true extent of the suffering involved. Primates were snared in the wild, never to return again. One worker for Noveprim, a company approved by the UK Home Office and others for export to labs, kept monkeys in a dark and delapidated shed in his garden. Workers were also shown grabbing and swinging primates around by their tails, injuring them and often breaking their bones.

Noveprim are the main farm on Mauritius and were extensively featured in the expose, exporting primates to the UK, USA, Germany, Spain and France. The CIEL Group, a Mauritian company who run hotels on the island, own sugar plants and textile manufacturers, also own Noveprim. Please contact them in disgust and also boycott all Mauritian products:

==================================

:: SAMPLE LETTER ::
Dear Noveprim / CIEL Group,
I was sickened with the recent expose of your company (Noveprim), exporting thousands of primates every year to laboratories for experimentation.

From the attitudes of your staff towards the animals, to the trapping of monkeys in the wild for export was disgusting.

Once these primates have experienced the brutality shown by your staff, they will be used in toxicology experiments and poisoned to death, or university research where electrodes will be implanted into their brains.

I ask that the CIEL Group discards Noveprim from it's portfolio of companies and that Noveprim is closed down once and for all.
Yours Sincerely,
[Name]
