Every year, more than 10,000 primates are imported into the U.S. to be experimented on in laboratories, and most of them originate from China. The traumatized monkeys are crammed into small crates and loaded into the dark, terrifying cargo holds of airplanes.

China Southern Airlines continues to ship monkeys to laboratories for use in experimentation, even though almost every other major airline—including all those in China—has already stopped this cruel practice. The airline had previously announced that it had ended the practice but has now resumed this bloody business, quietly bowing to pressure from laboratories desperate to continue profiting from abusing monkeys in barbaric experiments.
