• Noveprim reacts
The animal rights group BUAV said the monkeys are being bred for sale to laboratories in the U.S. and Europe. The group says the monkeys were killed because they had grown too big to sell.
BUAV says the killings took place at a lab called Noveprim. Noveprim didn't answer a call or an email seeking comment.
The group's Sarah Kite called the killings a cruel and senseless slaughter. She says the monkeys should have been released.
BUAV says Mauritius exports up to 10,000 monkeys a year to laboratories.
Noveprim reacts
Noveprim is presently subject to a smear campaign from a group of "Animal Activists". Noveprim strongly condemns the misusage, abusive and false interpretation by these activists of images circulating on the net.
Extremists are trying once more to manipulate the public opinion by interpreting images of dead monkeys stored in a room, implying that these monkeys have been mutilated and euthanized for trivial and cruel reasons.
At Noveprim, the welfare of animals is a top priority and will always be. Abuse of monkeys in its breeding units is not tolerated.
Indeed, Noveprim has for mission to preserve the health of the animals and that of its employees. In a situation where disease occurrence is suspected and in line with strict animal health surveillance protocols, a number of animals could undergo euthanasia, necropsy and incineration. Such practice prevents spread of a disease and protects the population of the breeding center. These practices are accepted internationally and carried out on every species of animal as witnessed in epidemic situation such as mad cow disease, swine fever, foot and mouth disease, avian influenza, etc...
In the past, Noveprim has had case of bovine Tb and had thus been forced to take the necessary sanitary measures that could explain the existence of such images.
As further information, it is important to know that:
- The release of monkeys in the wild is strictly prohibited in Mauritius.
- Noveprim has adopted a strategy of adjusting its production capacity by applying the following measures:
- Stopping the capture of monkeys since 2008.
- Selling 100% of its stakes in two of its holding and breeding units.
- Killing of Animals is strictly against Hindu practice

Thank you for your valid points, it is an auspicious time with the presence of Diwali the barbaric acts towards sacred monkeys that symbolizes our Lord Hanuman contradicts our religious rights. I do agree with you that all animals should not be consumed or tortured for research purposes. My point is, why have the people of Mauritius voted this Tyrant 'Navin Ramgoolam' to lead our country. He is an embarrassment to Hindus and Mauritius. Since he has been the leader there has been nothing but turmoil, the divide between rich and poor is widening, internationally Mauritius scores number 1 for drug addiction per capita, racial divide is at its worst, Hindus are no longer considered to have their religious rights upheld. His government gives away residency to the South Africans whom exploit Mauritians even further. He promotes only rich tourists to the island therefore providing economical stability to corporate companies such as hotels and casinos. Surely we want normal holiday makers to spend their currencies within our local communities. He is no longer fit for duty,he does not serve his people or his country, this needs to be recognized by Mauritians instead of them being brain washed by the local press.

ReplyDeleteYou are just an agent of SAJ in disguise.
When you want to write something, do it in a professional way. Don't rant.
It's true that Monkeys have been exported to other countries and Sanskriti Newspaper in Mauritius in 1995 already wrote about that, showing even trap placed at Grand Bassin.
Being a Hindutva supporter, I like part of the post BUT the way you write between the lines shows your narrow parochial behaviour and partisan way and supporter of SAJ, another bastard who has not done anything for Hindus if only for his own interest and that of his clan.
We need a new breed of Hindutva leaders in Mauritius!
ReplyDeleteSo long Hindus will be divided, Muslims and Creoles will be the winners, since we are divided on two fronts.
We need to understand the "chaal" of our enemies and uncover their masks.
The day this will happen, this very day, we can have hope.
