Puerto Rico: Hell on Earth for Monkeys

Published by PETA Staff.
< 1 min read

Beach bums everywhere agree that Puerto Rico’s beaches are heavenly, but the island will become hell on earth for thousands of monkeys if a massive primate-breeding facility is approved.

PETA is taking no time off in our efforts to shoot down the proposal by Bioculture, a company that breeds and sells monkeys to foreign laboratories, where they will suffer abusive handling, months of confinement in metal cages, and forced dosings of toxic chemicals (remember Covance, anyone?). The latest efforts include working to get our new billboard erected in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

There’s more to come, so stay tuned.
