On July 15, 2010, In Defense of Animals rescued 55 long-tailed macaque monkeys from an insolvent toxicology laboratory in Oxford, New Jersey.
This lab has been repeatedly cited by the USDA for Animal Welfare Act violations and had a license to sell animals. If not for this rescue, these monkeys could very well have ended up in other labs that routinely perform extremely invasive or terminal experiments on long-tailed macaques. Published articles from 2010 describe experimentation ranging from brain lesions, invasive brain studies of auditory, motor and visual cortex, Ebola virus, stroke, plague and drug-induced seizures. These intelligent, social nonhuman primates suffer when imprisoned for decades in stark lab environments. Monkeys often display clinical signs of depression and abnormal behavior including hair pulling, stereotypic circling and pacing, and even self mutilation.
“Rescuing these young macaques from a miserable lifetime locked in a lab furthers In Defense of Animals’ mission in protecting the rights, welfare and habitat of animals,” said IDA president Scotlund Haisley. “These young monkeys would have been subjected to decades behind bars in cramped stainless steel cages, forced to endure painful toxicology tests. Now they will have a life filled with fresh air, friends, and freedom from harm.”
IDA is transporting the monkeys to their new homes at four primate sanctuaries in Oklahoma and Texas.

I don't agree with you I understand your point but it is their choice and death is not a solution as I have known so many animals (humans as well) who never give up this survival instinct is within all of us and should be respected.
great stuff
@kingmanusa64 that is seriously awesome.. why not? lol are they by any chance japanese macaques? that would explain their ability to adapt in a partially snowy environment if so.
you guys are hero, hope you guys will live long happy live!!
It is shocking to me to find out this has been going on not too many miles from where I live. Happy for the monkeys, beagles and heroes who have saved them!
And thanks to Camille and the gang at Win Animal Rights (WAR)!
I am so happy to see this. More must be rescued and they have to stop bringing them in they belong free and happy. Great video.
@CDLver You said it all….and they need all the donations they can get because there's lots more that need help….and like he said "living in their dark prison cells"….they have been doin time but committed no crime and sentenced to life ..I thank all that's good that they are free from their prison
Wow! Fantastic! Thank you so much. 😀
So happy to see you back, doing what you do best….saving innocent souls from horrific cruelty…and educating the masses!
IDA, I absolutely love you people! Thank you for saving these poor creatures from this miserable animal testing lab! Making my donation now!
Mis Felicitaciones, por el gran rescate!!!!… LOVE & LIBERATION!!!!!
amazing job, brings tears to my eyes
Thank you so much! Looking at these innocent monkeys' eyes I like to think that they know they are on their way to a better life, & that the cruel suffering they have endured is over. I will donate as soon as I can. I have donated to your group in the past. Thx again! Now if we can only get Nosey the elephant away from her cruel "owners" ( a Fla circus type outfit), & all the other elephants out of captivity, that would be LOVELY! Thanx again I'm kinda w/o words.
Excellent job!!!!
Bravo! So encouraging to know there will be freedom for these precious primates!
This is heartbreaking news that they were there in the first place…Thank you forever for doing such wonderful things like this with rescuing them!
Thank you for all you do for animals, great news. There are many other ways of researching without using animals. In the UK there's The Humane Research Trust, Safer Medicines Campaign & The Dr Hadwen Trust Thank you again.
