Primates are NOT Products!
September 1st, 2010 by admin
Last night, WTVJ Ch. 6 (NBC) aired a powerful report about animal suffering at Primate Products, Inc., a Miami-based importer of monkeys for use in research and testing. Click here to view the report, but be aware that the images are disturbing.
In response to the story, ARFF has sent an urgent letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture demanding that they take immediate steps to investigate possible violations of the Animal Welfare Act at Primate Products.
Please view the NBC 6 report and then contact the USDA. Ask the USDA to investigate Primate Products and impose stiff penalties for any violations.
