Cambodia Suspends Monkey Exports; PETA Demands Labs Reveal Source of Monkeys

Washington – After Cambodian officials reportedly suspended all shipments of monkeys for experimentation, today PETA is calling for a full accounting of monkeys in every laboratory that since 2018 has received long-tailed macaques from two major U.S. primate importers—Inotiv and Worldwide Primates—because those monkeys may have been illegally trafficked.

PETA is also calling on those laboratories to transfer illegally trafficked monkeys to a reputable sanctuary immediately and pay for their lifetime care. The laboratories in question are AbbVie, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Altasciences, AmplifyBio, Batelle Memorial Institute, Biomere, Bioqual, BTS Research, Charles River Laboratories, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Labcorp, Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute, MRI Global, National Institutes of Health, Northern Biomedical Research, PreLabs, Southern Research Institute, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, USAMRIID, Washington University at St. Louis. Copies of the letters to those labs are available upon request.
