Lisa Jones-Engel,PhD former primate scientist, now doing what needs to be done. Macaques can’t stand up to the biomedical industry alone.

A generous donor has pledged $250,000 to @PETA and @BornFreeUSA to give these macaques a chance at sanctuary. Thank you, @JulieKayTV, for giving the monkeys a voice. The only acceptable future for these macaques is in sanctuary—not @NIH labs. Let’s make this their happy ending!

"If you can't keep a monkey in a facility, if you can't keep the the enclosures clean, if you can't train your staff well enough, you shouldn't be having monkeys," Lisa Jones-Engel, a primate expert with PETA, told @JulieKayTV  https://t.co/y7drEU3NGN

[HHS Rapid Response @HHSResponse]

The Trump administration is putting animals in sanctuaries instead of cages.

Compassion is making a comeback.

[macaqtivist @macaqtivist]

@HHSResponse Finally, compassion and reason have aligned. Monkey “science” was never good science, it was just monkey business.

Earlier this month, we all fell in love with Punch.

The unfortunate truth, however, is that monkeys like Punch are whisked away, not to be loved, but to be poked and prodded in research labs. Along with a bipartisan group of lawmakers, I am urging @SecKennedy to stop the importation of monkeys for experimentation.

Giving these endangered long-tailed macaques caught up in this violent, deadly and disease-ridden trade a voice is the mark of powerful journalism. Thank you @NickSeebruch and @rabbleca for giving people a chance to learn more.

[rabble.ca @rabbleca]

This week on rabble radio: @NickSeebruch speaks with primate scientist Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel about the plight of the long-tailed macaque.

Relentless work by my colleagues who refused to let the scientific absurdity of using these tiny monkeys to model menopause go unchallenged.

Macaques can’t file flight plans and don't attend press conferences (yet)—but thanks to @AvSourceNews, their story gets out. His reporting makes sure @SmartLynxCom can’t hide what it’s flying: terrified, sometimes sick monkeys caught in a brutal global trade.

[AviationSource @AvSourceNews]

A coalition led by animal protection group PETA has urged U.S. authorities to investigate claims that SmartLynx Airlines mistreated 800 long-tailed macaque monkeys during a 43-hour flight.

@NIH @POTUS Thank you, @NIH and @POTUS for listening and acting to end funding for these violent and absurd experiments. Next up: the National Primate Research Centers, the monkey labs that are equally wasteful, scientifically bankrupt, and built on suffering, not science.

[macaqtivist @macaqtivist]

OHSU has a long, shameful history of animal suffering, wasted tax dollars, and failed science. Their reckless disregard for biosecurity not only endangers public health but also condemns macaques to even more suffering. Shut it down.

"It’s time we stopped thinking of NHP research as something of value and recognize it for what it is: a practice that future generations will...look back on with incredulity and regret."

Evidence of wholesale wild monkey laundering in Cambodia is undeniable. Tens of thousands of long-tailed macaques caught up in the primate importation pipeline will arrive diseased or die between now and when CITES Standing Committee meets again. Who is paying CITES to delay?

[pharmalot @pharmalot]

“Today’s disgraceful postponement by the CITES Standing Committee is a step closer to extinction for long-tailed macaques,” said Lisa Jones-Engel of PETA.. https://t.co/NQFvJs3f19 #pharma #biotech #monkeys #primates #research #Cambodia #CITES $CRL

The door needs to be shut on @AlphaGenesisInc immediately . Those monkeys endured excruciating deaths. "Some of the monkeys died quickly, but others were still breathing and lying unresponsive on their sides, according to the witness."

[PETA @peta]

Monkey deaths at @AlphaGenesisInc—21 BODIES of ENDANGERED long-tailed macaques were stacked like 'Tetris' blocks in its fridge! Whistleblowers alerted PETA, and now the feds are investigating.

Read @postandcourier's story for the SHOCKING details! https://t.co/5QNv6yqXwS

Two women in the #UK are due to be sentenced this week for their role in a sadistic global monkey torture ring that paid for & ordered baby #monkeys to be brutally tortured & killed in #Indonesia to create videos to post online for 'entertainment'.

[PETA @peta]

Do the right thing @NIH & release the escaped @AlphaGenesisInc monkeys to a sanctuary 🚨

A concerned couple has offered $250,000 to PETA for sanctuary placement so the monkeys would NEVER be sent to a lab!
