Every year, tens of thousands of monkeys are flown to research labs around the world. Many of these monkeys are babies snatched from their mother's in the wild.
This wouldn't be possible without the airlines who fly these intelligent, socialable animals to labs where they will experience nothing but pain. Stuck in cages, they will never swing from trees or indulge in any other monkey behavior.

Here's a list of airlines that do and don't flt animals to research labs.
