Diese Woche hat die israelische Fluggesellschaft EL AL mitgeteilt, dass sie aufhören wird Primaten und andere Tiere für die Tierversuchsindustrie zu transportieren. Diese Ankündigung kann als Reaktion auf regelmässige Demonstrationen vor EL AL Niederlassungen in Israel und anderen Ländern gesehen werden.
Die Kampagne “Free the Mazor Monkeys” (Befreit die Mazor Affen) kämpft gegen die Primatenzuchtstation Mazor in Israel. Die Verantwortlichen bedanken sich bei allen, die an Protesten teilgenommen haben und diesen Teilerfolg möglich gemacht haben.

The Mazor Farm - General InformationIn the Mazor Farm primates who are destined to be sold to vivisection labs are locked up. Some of the were hunted down in the wild and some of them were born on the farm. The Mazor Farm is part of a cruel trade of primates, which are hunted down in the wild, transported to a life in captivity. Some of them end up as subjects for experiments, and some of them will spend the rest of their lives locked up in the farm, for their role of breeding machines.
The Mazor Farm was founded in 1991 at Hameyasdim St. 10 in the Mazor moshav (town), in the Brin household. The owners of the Mazor Farm include Eli Holtzman and Moshe Bushmits - the head veterinarian of the Farm.
Long Tailed Macaques are known to be highly intelligent and social animals. In nature they live in families and communities of up to a 100 monkeys. Newborn males live with their mothers up to the age of 4-5 years, and the females stay with the mothers for their entire lives. For their entire lives the monkeys recognize their family and care for them. The Macaques are accustomed to living in wide open areas, climbing on trees, playing in waters, collecting food and various social interactions.
