Driven out with the net
Organized during the rain season, the capture of the monkeys is done in the flooded forest. Installed on board a canoe, the hunters locate a group of individuals in a tree and place a net, under water, with the foot of this last. After having cut branches so that the monkeys do not have an other exit, they strike the tree trunk to frighten them. The thrown into a panic primates jump or fall then into water and find themselves wedged in the net… Some die even drowned. Handled brutally, they are placed in bags in mesh tight and stored at the bottom of the boat in the darkness and without any freedom of movement. They remain several days there, without water nor food, until the end of hunting and the return to the village…
Visit of a breeding
The breeding visited by the investigators of One Voice revealed very difficult living conditions for the animals. Locked up with several in large cages, the monkeys do not profit from any enrichment. Hardly some platforms and a swing come to enrich these enclosures, whose ground is out of naked concrete and does not allow them to hide… And of course, no water point, whereas this species of macaque appreciates the proximity of it. In other buildings of the same breeding, individuals are locked up in tiny batteries of cages at the latticed bottom. Some of enter they, our investigators observed females nursing their small, in others, very young individuals alone or by two, possibly with a cuddly toy to reassure them… Such living conditions guarantee many traumatisms for these intelligent and social animals. These young people will not be able to develop a normal behavior, if however they survive…
To put a term at this situation!
One Voice claims the prohibition of the experimentation on the primates within the framework of the revision of European directive 86. She asks so that is followed the Declaration (0040/2007) of the European Parliament on the adopted use of primates in the scientific experiments, in 2007. It is in particular written there:
“The declaration urgently invites the Commission, the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament to benefit from the process of revision of the directive 86/609/CEE to put an end, in priority and urgently, with the use of the large monkeys and other monkeys captured in a wild state at experimental ends, like establishing, within the framework of the total revision of the aforesaid the directive, a calendar in order to replace the use of all the primates by other solutions in the scientific experiments”
