Illegal lab monkey transport endangers public, prompts PETA complaint to Feds
Washington — PETA has obtained and reviewed documents revealing that in the midst of a global pandemic, dozens of shipments, with nearly 2,000 monkeys, were crisscrossing U.S. highways in violation of federal law. The animals, including the 10 long-tail macaques at the Envigo Global Service in Alice, were destined for use in experiments and were transported in trucks across the country without the veterinary inspections required under the federal Animal Welfare Act.
