Judge Susan J. Dlott who gave 9 year prison sentence in USA #monkey torture case stated: "I've seen a lot in my 53 years of practice and 31 years on the bench. But this is by far the worst criminal case I have ever had or ever want to have again": eu.cincinnati.com/story/news/cri…

Man jailed for 9 years in USA - the longest sentence given to anyone involved in online #monkey torture groups. Nicholas T. Dryden, of Ohio, paid teenager in #Indonesia to create horrifying videos & directed him on how to torture & kill baby monkeys. justice.gov/opa/pr/ohio-ma…

Protection for long-tailed #macaques under US Endangered Species Act denied for 2nd time. Petition filed by PeTA gave evidence of species decline & threats, including from US research & testing industry responsible for importing wild-caught macaques from #Indonesia & #Mauritius.

Rhesus #macaques imprisoned on their own in small stainless-steel cages were used as human surrogates, and forced to become 'alcoholics' in a shocking & inhumane chronic #alcohol experiment in #Russia, that lasted over two & a half years: tinyurl.com/c49yjm65

This week, #Mauritius exported 700 #monkeys to US testing labs; a 28 hour ordeal on #Mexico airline Awesome Cargo. Call on Mauritius gov to stop issuing export permits & end this cruel & inhumane treatment of their country's macaques: rpbeeharry@gmail.com & moa-dvs@govmu.org

Football frenzy, monkey misery: As the ‘beautiful game’ captures headlines, speak up for 700 terrified #monkeys currently imprisoned on board #Mexico airline Awesome Cargo-flying from #Mauritius to @iflymia Miami-victims of a cruel animal testing industry tinyurl.com/ytbuzrh8

URGENT ALERT: we have received a tip-off that #Mexico airline - Awesome Cargo - is on its way to #Mauritius to transport up to 700 long-tailed #macaques to the USA destined for the research & toxicity testing industry. Please take action for the #monkeys: tinyurl.com/ytbuzrh8

We support the new campaign to abolish trophy hunting worldwide. Inspired by Jane Goodall, this @CBTHunting campaign calls on the United Nations General Assembly to end this cruel & outdated practice. Please sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/supp… #BanTrophyHunting

If you are a US citizen, please contact your legislators urging them to support the Captive Primate Safety Act, an important piece of legislation that would ban the private 'ownership' of non-human primates as 'pets: tinyurl.com/2uc4u3ee

Authorities in #Thailand suspect 6 long-tailed #macaques seized in house raid along River Trat were to be illegally smuggled across the border into #Cambodia. Latest seizure is stark reminder of the threats faced by this IUCN Red Listed Endangered species. tinyurl.com/3m9adbsz

A report that Charles River Laboratories is to expand its #monkey export business in #Cambodia appears directly contrary to recent statements by US gov agencies to reduce animal testing. Long-tailed #macaques exported to US & Canada for toxicity testing. khmertimeskh.com/501920716/crl-…

We are appalled by the lack of humanity demonstrated by @wakeforestmed that continues to allow #monkeys to be imprisoned & forced to consume #alcohol in an immoral & scientifically unreliable attempt at understanding the disease in humans. Take Action: tinyurl.com/3unu9nup
