Long-tailed macaque in laboratory; Cruelty Free International/SOKO Tierschutz

Long-tailed #macaques used as human surrogates to test effects of #cocaine on behaviour in cruel & disturbing publicly (@NIH) funded experiments @wakeforestmed in the USA. Please speak up for these monkeys: tinyurl.com/ypz2y6wz

Attempt to smuggle long-tailed #macaques from #Thailand into #Cambodia foiled. @ThaiEnquirer reports 51 macaques rescued 300m from border. Stark reminder of threats faced by this IUCN Red Listed Endangered species; needs greater protection from #CITES not less.

Long-tailed macaque in European testing laboratory; SOKO Tierschutz/Cruelty Free International

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.

Across #Asia, it’s common to see #macaques around temples and hiking rest stops, ready to snatch fruit, but also packaged foods (cookies, drinks, anything inside a #plastic bag). We see them shifting to this new diet and its #waste.

Tonkean #macaques have been observed using rocks to crack open nuts, showcasing their impressive problem-solving skills and intelligence in the wild.

Look it up in central Sulawesi, Indonesia in #gaiaeco

These #macaques knew more pain than anyone ever should.

Some were taken from the wild as babies -- stolen away from their mothers, their families, and their forest homes.💔

Let's help keep them safe from abuse, neglect and exploitation.

Fun facts about #macaques ft. Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary residents:

🐒 Ernie is a 20-year-old long-tailed macaque. Aptly named long-tailed macaques spend lots of their time in trees and use their tails to help them balance as they leap from branch to branch.

Example of sneaky behaviour preceding hair-pulling in the Roza group: actor (on the right) approaches lower back receiver (in the middle) just before hair-pulling.

Long-tailed #Macaques use tactical deception too! 👀🐒 Dominants sneak hair-pulls to reinforce status – either from behind or during friendly contact. Fascinating peek at social smarts beyond humans. 🧠✨ #Behaviour

Long-tailed macaques at export facility, Mauritius; Cruelty Free International

Hundreds of long-tailed #macaques - destined for testing labs - exported from #Mauritius endure a 28 hour transport ordeal to USA on #SkyTaxi. Stopping @JFKairport before final destination - #Miami @iflymia. This is a relentless and brutal trade in monkeys' lives.

Secret video shows inhumanity of monkey air transport. Hundreds of distressed long-tailed #macaques from #Vietnam cry out to each other. Packed inside these crates, the #monkeys subjected to lengthy ordeal lasting 40 h with multiple flights & stops. Destined for US labs.

Stump-tailed macaques are the largest macaque in S.E. Asia, but their numbers are declining. You can find why and learn more about these highly intelligent animals in my latest blog:
