Dear Kelly,
You're probably on Facebook right now, or chances are you will be at some point today. So why not put that Facebook addiction to good use? Please take a few minutes to ask Philippine Airlines to follow in the lead of other major airlines around the world—including Singapore Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Cathay Pacific—in banning the shipment of primates to laboratories. Please post here. Note: You can send the airline a message and comment on existing threads as well as post on its page directly.
Philippine Airlines continues to ship monkeys to laboratories for use in experiments, even though almost every other major airline has already stopped this cruel practice. Philippine Airlines flew 190 pig-tailed macaque monkeys crammed into tiny crates from Indonesia to the Los Angeles International Airport. Once there, the monkeys were transported thousands of kilometers in loud, dark, and terrifying cargo trucks to a laboratory where monkeys have been subjected to cruel and deadly experiments in which they are intentionally infected with diseases and have holes drilled into their skulls.
Want to do more to help? Send an e-mail to Philippine Airlines.
Thank you for taking action for animals!
Sincerely,
The PETA Asia-Pacific Team
