Can You Spare 3 Minutes to Help Monkeys on February 13?

Awesome work! I sent one early this morning as soon as I got the memo from change mailing list... this is what I wrote:

Dear China Southern Airlines,

I am appalled to hear that you have gone back on your promise to ban the transportation services for primates bound for experimental labs where their fate is certain torture and then death. While other airline companies have kept their promises such as After Air China, China Eastern Airlines, Hainan Airlines along with many other leading airlines.

These poor creatures suffer immensely firstly by being captured, then rammed into small dark crates for shipping to laboratories where they are subjected to excruciatingly painful experiments, force fed or injected with chemicals and diseases. I am sorry to say that I will not be flying with your airline and I will also be advising any associates to boycott your company until you have reinstated your promise and have banned transporting these helpless creatures once and for all.

Kind Regards,

My name and contact details

PLEASE also sign the petition, you may think that this wont help but fact of the matter is - it will - the reason this hasn't already stopped is because we lack signatures... the signatures represent that people do not accept this and the lack of signatures represent that well we do accept it.... so please sign.

even if you don't have time to write an email, just give a quick post to their wall or hashtag in a tweet... they'll get the message

UPDATE:

I have exciting news to share from our campaign to ground cruel primate shipments!

Following an intense, international PETA campaign, which included more than 100,000 calls and e-mails from supporters like you, China Southern Airlines announced in an e-mail to PETA U.S. that it will "stop transporting live primates for laboratory experiments on all flights"—effective immediately!

Prior to this announcement, China Southern was the only airline in China—and the only major carrier in the world other than Air France—still shipping primates to laboratories. Records show that in 2013, China Southern shipped more than 2,500 monkeys to laboratories in the U.S., where they were poisoned, infected, crippled, and mutilated in cruel experiments.
China Southern joins the growing list of airlines—including Air China, China Eastern Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Philippine Airlines, and United Airlines—that PETA and our affiliates have convinced to stop supporting this bloody trade. Air France is now the only major airline left that is willing to ship monkeys, so it will be extremely difficult and expensive for experimenters to get their hands on monkeys to torment. This means that more primates will remain in the wild with their families instead of being trapped and imprisoned at decrepit breeding farms and terrifying laboratories.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,
Jason Baker
Vice-President of International Campaigns
PETA Asia
