Day of action against monkey experiments

Support of the public strenghtens our campaigns

The Anti Vivisection Coalition held a full day of protests against the use of monkeys in the Netherlands on Thursday 16th of April.
We started off at Hartelust, it's a small family-based company in Tilburg, where animals are held in small metal cages before they are moved to animal testing laboratories. The monkeys are mainly imported from China.

Some of the customers he has delivered to:
-university of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain(2008)

-Gemacbio S.A., Cenon, France (2004/2006)

-University of Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain (2007)
-Merck Research Laboratories Rome, Italy (2005)
Université Catholique de Louvain, Bruxelles, -Belgium (2008)

Next on the list was Schering-Plough in Oss, which was formerly known as Organon. There are more then 40.000 animals on 2 locations, including monkeys, mice, rats, dogs, and rabbits.
