Full day of action for monkeys

Activists of the Gateway to Hell campaign and Anti Dierproeven Coalitie held a full day of demonstrations against monkey experiments in Belgium.

We started off at the University of Leuven (KUL), where professors of the university received their doctorate titles, a yearly traditional ceremony with a lot of foreign guests. We were there to remind them of the cruel practices performed by researchers at the university, who conduct horrible neurologic experiments on monkeys. They had to come past us twice, when marching through the streets of Leuven. There was a lot of press who reported about our action in the evening news and in lots of newspapers

.

We won't stop until all experiments at the university are abandoned, and all monkeys are rehabilitated. Brain research can also be done using sophisticated brain scanners in which human beings are used, completely safe and trustworthy. In Japan they are using these techniques, so why not in Belgium?

We continued our day of action at the embassies of Nepal and Mauritius, two countries who capture monkeys from the wild and use them in breeding programmes in order to make loads of money selling them off to vivisection labs across the world.

We lost count how many times we were outside these embassies; the Mauritius embassy is one of our targets for many years. This only to illustrates our determination to close down the monkeyfarms and to end experiments on innocent monkeys once and for all.

We don't give up, we don't give in, until all are free.
