Air India joins a growing list of
airlines – including British Airways, Aer Lingus, Cargolux, Qantas and Cathay
Pacific – that refuse to ship animals of any species to laboratories. Just
recently, following a vigorous campaign by PETA US,
Air China
banned the transport of primates destined for laboratories. Previously,
the airline shipped monkeys from China.
PETA is now contacting all other Indian carriers and urging them to make the same humane commitment.
Sept 1, 2012
Air India has confirmed it has stopped transporting animals to laboratories, where they are cruelly confined, painfully experimented on and eventually killed. In an e-mail to People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Air India confirmed that a circular was sent to all stations in its network instructing them not to accept animals being transported for experimental purposes and that the situation will be closely monitored.
