Air France Commits to Banning Transport of Monkeys to Laboratories

Following more than a decade of intense campaigning by PETA U.S., international PETA entities, and grassroots activists around the world, Air France announced that it would end its transport of monkeys to laboratories as soon as its current contracts end. The company’s announcement means that more primates will remain in nature with their families instead of being abducted from their homes and imprisoned on decrepit breeding farms and inside terrifying labs. This decision brings us one step closer to shutting down the trafficking of monkeys for useless, archaic experiments in this age of state-of-the-art, modern research tools like organs-on-chips.
