At Charles de Gaulle airport, monkeys from Mauritius are transported by SmartLynx Airlines to Boston. We'll be there!
One Voice has been alerted by Abolicion Viviseccion to the involvement of SmartLynx Airlines in the transport of monkeys from Mauritius to the USA via Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport. The flight is scheduled for next Monday. A happening will take place on September 23 at 11am on rue du moulin 95700 Roissy in France to denounce this unacceptable complicity.
These intelligent, sensitive animals will endure extreme stress and anxiety. Locked up in tiny cages, they will be transported in the hold, exposed to the deafening noises and unsettling sensations of an over 21-hour journey. However, all this is nothing compared to what awaits them once they arrive at their destination. Our recent investigations into primate farms in Mauritius have highlighted the harsh conditions these animals endure even before their departure.
Faced with this news, we have decided to take action. On September 23 at 11am, during the stopover at Roissy airport, we will be organizing a peaceful happening. We intend to send a clear message denouncing these practices and urge SmartLynx Airlines to withdraw from transporting primates for experimentation.
Thanks to the commitment of our association and its partners, we have already achieved a major victory: Air France has decided to stop transporting primates for laboratories. We continue to demand that all airlines, and SmartLynx Airlines in particular, follow suit and cease transporting primates immediately. It is inconceivable that companies continue to be complicit in the torture of thousands of animals.
Please join us in calling on SmartLynx Airlines to permanently cease its active and commercial involvement in transporting monkeys to a life of endless experimentation.
