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.
Trapping, breeding and export of long-tailed macaques ought to be illegal.
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 comply with international
standards for animal welfare.
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.
The National Cancer Institute now analyzes treatments for cancer and HIV/AIDS, and
tests for drug toxicities, using human cell and tissue
panels. With sophisticated alternatives available, there is no reason to subject
monkeys to torture and death.
The long-tailed macaque is a protected species, categorized as Appendix II under the
Convention on the International Trade in Endangered
Species (CITES). Please do not permit the desecration of Cambodia's treasured
wildlife.
Thank you,

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)

The long-tailed macaque is a protected species, categorized as Appendix II under the

animals for experimentation. Cambodia cannot be allowed
to desecrate its indigenous populations of monkeys.
Thank you,
