BAD NEWS FROM ITALY

 

8 JULY 2004

 

 

 

Eighteen enclosure hours on a lorry.

A long journey, in slaughtering conditions, to finish neo

laboratories of a pharmaceutical company of Nerviano. The transfer

from the airport in Paris To Malpensa of 120 Macaques concluded

himself yesterday morning at six o'clock

macaques coming from the Mauritius island. At Malpensa airport to

wait for the precious one ( value declared 306 thousand euro ),

there were the men of the forest body of state to which the task to

verify the validity of the licences and the regularities of the

authorizations for the importation is assigned. The macaques'

traffic is forbidden in the context of the European Comunity as kind

to high extinction risk. But everything turned out in rule on the

basis of a dispensation concerning the animals destined to the

research laboratories.

Protected and often worshipped in the zones of origin, the macaques

represent on the international market especially valid and sought-

after animals to be used for the experimentation. And the Farney-

Maherborug ( Mauritius islands) Noveprim Group is specialized in the

stock farm in captivity of these primates then to export them in all

the world. The " match " reached yesterday to Malpensa, (Italien

airport) was destined to a pharmaceutical company of Nerviano

Medical which is responsible for studying the toxicity level and

then the tolerance degree of

new antitumoral products.

The transport of the 120 monkeys had to happen in the maximum

discretion. From several directions in fact, they took for time

protests and requests for the suspension of the research off on the

Primates. And it is maybe to avoid disputes by the animalist than

the journey took place on a motorvehicle and not the plane.

Soon after the arrival to Malpensa the unloading operations are

begun.

The 120 monkeys, everyones strictly with a recognition number

tattooed on the chest, are in clear situation of stress and torpor

for the efforts and the uncomfortable of the journey. It's painful

lets see them move with difficulty, their so agile on the trees. A

monkey is wounded to a hand, it loses blood. The lesion seems both

been caused by the metal net of separation between a container and

the other. Probably the macaque hurt himself trying to go out. The

clearanced practices are sped up to the maximum. The cases are

loaded in a hurry.

The researchers are ready to isolate, in quarantine, all the animals.

The motorvehicle left again with his macaques load. For the last

journey.
