Philippine Airlines Stops Shipping Primates to Laboratories

July 2013

Following extensive campaigning by PETA entities worldwide, Philippine Airlines announced that it would not transport “any and all types of primates destined for cruel research and experimentation.” The company acknowledged that it enacted the policy because of thousands of e-mails and calls from supporters of PETA entities worldwide and protests at Philippine Airlines offices and ticketing locations around the world. Philippine Airlines’ ban on primate shipments will likely have a major impact on the experimentation industry, because Philippine Airlines was the primary carrier transporting monkeys from Indonesia and the Philippines to overseas laboratories for use in painful and often deadly experiments.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
