From Prison to Paradise Extraordinary 2,000 Mile Journey of Hope for 55 Rescued Monkeys

  • "These young monkeys would have been subjected to decades behind bars in cramped stainless steel cages, forced to endure painful toxicology tests," said IDA president Scotlund Haisley. "Now they will have a life filled with fresh air, friends and freedom from harm."
    The lab the monkeys came from had been repeatedly cited by the USDA for Animal Welfare Act violations and had a license to sell animals. If not for this rescue, these monkeys could very well have ended up in other labs that routinely perform extremely invasive or terminal experiments on long-tailed macaques. Published articles from 2010 describe experimentation ranging from brain lesions, invasive brain studies of auditory, motor and visual cortex, Ebola virus, stroke, plague and drug-induced seizures. These intelligent, social primates suffer when imprisoned for decades in stark lab environments. Monkeys often display clinical signs of depression and abnormal behavior including hair pulling, stereotypic circling and pacing, and even self mutilation.
    The rescue was initiated by New York-based activist Camille Hankins, following an anonymous tip from a former animal caregiver at the recently closed lab. After negotiations with the company hired to liquidate the "assets" of the lab, a proposal to release the animals was accepted, with the crucial assistance of IDA pro bono attorney Kathryn Flood of the law firm Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney.
    "We are proud to have played this significant role in helping to rescue these monkeys from the horrors of the lab," concluded Haisley. "These are the lucky ones. We are inspired to renew our commitment to end the institutionalized abuse that is animal experimentation."

    I withhold compliments because these animals really won't experience "freedom" - they simply can't. They may have no coping mechanism for the forest. The best you're doing for them is less abuse; presumably a lot less abuse but the emotional damage will determine that. Oklahoma isn't exactly where they're from... and they'll still be in cages.

      @BabyMonkeyDefender 3 месяца назад

      Who knows about the collars? But I do know they hold information about the tests performed and drugs/chemicals etc they were used for.
      As for the sun and outdoors being too much, what you didn't get to see was the gradual integration from those cages to outside. They were actually slowly acclimated.
      I wish they had shown that part. It's heartbreaking, but at the same time, an uplifting thing to witness.
      I just wonder how many are still alive these 11 years later?

      They'd have gotten a lot more support if they would have bothered to let us see how they were doing after being freed to the nature reserve. In fact, if they had shown *any* video of the new shelter.. Simply asking for money without showing how it's going to help, doesn't cut it. I did actually scour their channel for ANY mention of the monkeys, but all I got were more rescue vids with appeals for money, and tons of vegan get togethers, spiritual gatherings, and more pleas for support.
      Even PETA knows how raise donations, by longer videos on what they're doing, controversial though they may be, they work.

    E sobre os agricultores que estão perdendo suas plantações para essas pragas e sobre os cães e gatos torturados por eles, e sobre os cidadãos que moram nas cidades tomadas por essas pragas, oque vocês estão fazendo a respeito dessas pessoas?

    Thank very much for your work. I know it can't be easy and like you said you had to dig into your pockets to be able to do this financially. It would have been really nice to see the monkeys released from their cages in the video. Perhaps another video with the monkeys in their new homes. Thank you so much for caring enough to go to all this work and use your money to get this started. God bless you abundantly.
