It is now a gruelling 24 hours since Awesome Cargo left #Mauritius. Hundreds of #macaques, destined for US testing labs, still imprisoned on board enduring this traumatic ordeal. Plane now en route to #Miami - @iflymia. This is a relentless & brutal trade in monkeys' lives.

A compelling read that exposes the scale of the slaughter of wild baboons & vervets in South Africa & asks what right do we have to turn these sentient non-human primates into targets, trophies & commercial products.
