Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya Airways will not renew its contract with a Mauritius breeding farm to transport monkeys from the Indian Ocean island to the United States (US) to be used in laboratory experiments.<\/p>\n

The airline\u2019s chairman, Michael Joseph, told Business Daily, a Kenyan publication in an interview:<\/p>\n

We will not renew the contract that expires at the end of February.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes a few days after hundreds of monkeys spilt onto a Pennsylvania highway last Friday following a truck crash.<\/p>\n

The truck was ferrying the monkeys from John F. Kennedy International Airport a few hours after they were delivered by Kenya Airways.<\/p>\n

Following the incident, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) US, an animal rights group, contacted Kenya Airways CEO Allan Kivuka and Mr Joseph, over the treatment of monkeys.<\/p>\n

PETA urged KQ to reconsider subjecting the monkeys to long flights then going to be used in laboratories for experiments that could cause them torture and lead to their death.<\/p>\n
