TOXICITY.inc—End Animal Toxicity Testing Lab workers are sounding the alarm on animal toxicity testing. See the evidence. Act now.

This is the secretive world of animal toxicity testing. Filmed in the UK, but carried out for global regulatory authorities, these outdated, scientifically unreliable & cruel tests must stop. These #monkeys & other animals urgently need your help: toxicity.inc

Pictured: The monkeys force-fed to test fat jabs The footage supplied to The Mail on Sunday was secretly filmed by a lab worker at two UK testing plants who said he was horrified the 'immense distress' the animals endured.

Heart-breaking images from inside UK laboratories reveal disturbing insight into suffering of monkeys, beagles, rats, mini-pigs & rabbits in toxicity tests for regulatory purposes.

Today is Hanuman Jayanti #Hindu festival in Mauritius, honouring Lord Hanuman. #Monkeys are revered as representations of the 'monkey god'. Sadly, no reverence for #Mauritius long-tailed macaques who are ruthlessly exploited with almost 15,000 exported to suffer & die in labs in US & Europe in 2025.

In 2025, #Mauritius exported almost 15,000 long tailed #macaques including to the USA, Canada & Europe. Shipped as air cargo, they were sent to labs to suffer & die in research & toxicity (poisoning) tests. This is an appalling way to treat these sentient & intelligent beings.

One monkey wins hearts while kin face culls PUNCH the baby snow monkey and his stuffed orang utan have captured hearts worldwide, spawned memes and even won over the White House with their charm.

Story of 'Punch' shines light on cruel fate of snow monkeys in their native #Japan, often killed as a result of negative interactions with people. We hope a shift in public opinion will result in humane co-existance without resorting to killing #monkeys.
