Australia's Green Senator Lee Rhiannon is proposing a ban on the import of live monkeys for research purposes, and the issue will soon be considered by the Senate Environment and Communications Committee.
This ban will be a significant step, and if passed “would confirm in law that Australia does not support the cruel and inhumane primate trade for experimentation and that Australia will not participate in practices leading to the extinction of primates in the wild.” – Senator Lee Rhiannon.

We'd like Lee to be able to tell the Committee that she has support from all over the world - click below to tweet your support:
