Vietnam - Cu Chi Tunnels

 

 

Urge the Government of Vietnam to Save the Animals at Cu Chi Tunnels!

 

After a concerned citizen alerted PETA to a squalid roadside menagerie

housing primates, moon bears and snakes at the southwest entrance to the

Cu Chi tunnels outside Ho Chi Minh City, PETA travelled to Vietnam to

investigate. PETA discovered that the animals were confined to filthy

cages without food or water.

Among the animals PETA found suffering in appalling conditions were the

following:

.. A baboon who has lived alone for four years in a faeces-strewn cage

measuring 7 feet by 5 feet by 6 feet

.. Two 7-foot-long boa snakes confined to a cage measuring 5.5 feet by 7

feet, with no room to move and deprived of water

.. A gibbon who has lived alone in his cage-measuring 7 feet by 6

feet-for years, forced to live on wire fencing suspended off the ground

.. Three monkeys, missing large amounts of hair all over their bodies,

with only a broken swing for enrichment

.. As many as three large moon bears in a cage measuring 15 feet by 10

feet. An adjacent cage houses one lone moon bear who is visibly

suffering from a toothache.

The animals at Cu Chi tunnels are in immediate need of water, clean

cages, and proper veterinary care.

One animal died shortly after we were alerted to this situation. More

will die if they are not moved immediately.

Please contact the Vietnam Embassy in your country (UK and US contact

information provided below), as well as the commander of the Military

Headquarters at Ho Chi Minh City, and ask that the government of Vietnam

immediately arrange to transfer the animals to a safe, reputable

sanctuary where they can live out their lives in peace:
