I am writing to ask you to help stop the terrible monkey farming which is happening in Nepal.
The Ministry of Forestry is currently re-writing the Working Policy on Wild Animal Farming, Breeding and Research, (2003), which currently permits monkey farming for scientific research abroad. A farm is crrently active in Lele with over 300 monkeys and it has recently been disclosed that at least 30 monkeys have dies there through neglect and lack of care.
A video of the farm can be seen here:
These innocent animals are highly intelligent and have a massive capacity to suffer and there can be no excuse for permitting the infliction of such shocking mistreatment upon them. Please use your influence with the Ministry of Forestry to ensure that monkey farming is banned in Nepal by the new legislation, without exception!
Yours faithfullly,
Mukesh Chalise
PS: Please find attached some images of the "scientific" research awaiting the monkeys if they are transported to the USA.
