Verzet je tegen de apenhandel en stuur de ambassadeur van Mauritius

Stuur de brief hieronder als mail naar de ambassadeur van Maurtius in Brussel: ambsecmauritius@gmail.com, yramjanally@hotmail.com, saramchurn@govmu.org, vmunnohur@govmu.org.

Dear Mr S. Gunessee,

I am writing to urge you to end the trade in monkeys from Mauritius. Trapping wild monkeys and taking them from their habitat, family and social groups is extremely cruel. It is a practice that is widely condemned because of the suffering and distress it inflicts on these intelligent and sentient animals. Thousands of other long-tailed macaques are imprisoned in breeding farms across your country. Their fate is to be shipped as cargo in aeroplanes on long journeys around the world to be used in experiments that will inflict even further suffering and result in their eventual death.

This week, animal protection groups from across Europe, including Animal Rights, are calling for the government of Mauritius to end your country's involvement in the global trade of monkeys for research and testing. The international reputation of Mauritius as a holiday paradise is being tarnished by the increasing role it is playing in this brutal trade.

Yours Sincerely
