The Honorable Samdech Hun Sen and Cambodian Government Officials:

I am extremely concerned about Cambodia's inhumane traffic in primates for
animal research. I urge the government to enact stronger laws to save your
indigenous populations of monkeys.

The long-tailed macaque is a protected species, categorized as Appendix II
in the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

The animals, caught on film either screaming or frozen in terror, are
wrenched by their tails and crammed into bags. They're stowed in boats until
sold to a dealer or monkey farm.

Rather than sacrifice wildlife, please advocate animal-free research that is
relevant to humans. Primate experiments, in particular, delay medical
progress. For example, researchers recognize primates do not contract the
human strain of AIDS or develop its clinical symptoms. Of 85 HIV/AIDS
vaccines tested in animals, every single one failed in 197 human trials.

Thank you,

To the CITES Secretariat

Please investigate Cambodia's inhumane traffic in primates for animal
research. I ask CITES members to bar CITES related trade with Cambodia, if
non-compliance with international animal welfare laws is confirmed

Investigative findings from British Union for the Abolition of
Vivisection(BUAV) show babies forcibly separated from nursing mothers.
Monkeys are even captured within a Cambodian nature reserve. Hunters pound
on tree trunks with oars to frighten wild monkeys and wrangle them into
nets.

The animals, caught on film either screaming or frozen in terror, are
wrenched by their tails and crammed into bags. They're stowed in boats until
sold to a dealer or monkey farm.

Macaques are perceptive creatures with complex behavioral and psychological
instincts. Yet those documented on film in Cambodia have no stimulation or
enrichment. They represent a failure to adhere to animal welfare standards.

The long-tailed macaque is a protected species, categorized as Appendix II
under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species
(CITES).
Please look into Cambodia's trapping, breeding and export of these animals
for experimentation. Cambodia cannot be allowed to desecrate its indigenous
populations of monkeys.

Thank you,
