Asian primate traffickers

[Guest guest]

Here is a list of the top Asian exporters of monkeys to the United

States for the year 2006. The information was provided to IPPL by the

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Of course, many other countries

import monkeys and some slip through the record-keeping. Most of the

monkeys are crab-eating macaques. This species may be doomed if

wholesale trade predation is not controlled. Some U.S. and European

users are exporting their research to foreign countries with relaxed

or no animal protection laws or enforcement. Such as two U.S. labs

which are setting up branches in Nepal. Unfortunately many of these

monkeys will already have been killed in bio-warfare or infectious

disease experiments. Total primate imports to the United States in

2006 was 26,338.

 

IPPL would be pleased to receive any information regarding any of

these companies. Does anyone have similar statistics for other countries?
