Stopping the transport of primates with Air France: we want more information

Mis à jour le 21 November 2022

At the end of June, the Twitter account for Air France Newsroom announced Air France’s decision to stop transporting primates for laboratories until the end of its current contracts. An historic commitment, which was limited to just a tweet. We have written to the airline company and still have not had a reply. Ask Air France to confirm the conditions of their commitment alongside us.

A series of innovations for primates in 2022: after Air France’s announcement and the ban on using primates born to captive parents from November 2022, we recently learnt the classification of crab-eating macaques (the primates most used in laboratories) is in the ‘endangered’ category of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s red list. A combination of factors that frighten animal testing lobbies.

Despite this news, Air France has not responded to our letter from 1 July 2022, in which we asked for a meeting with their services in order to better understand the context and the conditions of their historic decision concerning the transport of primates.

We would like more information

To support our request and appeal to Air France to meet with us, share our tweet:

Je vous remercie de bien vouloir recevoir l'équipe de One Voice comme elle vous l'a demandé par courrier le 1er juillet dernier au sujet du transport par vos avions, des primates en vue d'expérimentations. Sincères salutations

Oui, un tweet c'est pas mal mais est-ce bien appliqué? Rien ne vaut les faits.

D' un certain âge, j'ai du mal à signer des pétitions via france connect, facebook, etc....Désolé. Le mail m' allait si bien. Bon courage

Il est inconcevable qu'une compagnie comme Air France puisse encore transporter des singes destinés aux laboratoires sachant qu'ils vont connaitre la maltraitance et des conditions de survie épouvantable.

Il est temps que cette politique commerciale prenne fin et que Air France ne soit plus montré comme une compagnie qui transporte aussi de la souffrance.

Cordialement.
