Our friends at TAVA and Progress for Science have organized a social media commotion event taking place TOMORROW, December 13, 2024, in response to Ethiopian Airlines transporting monkeys for research. It is through Facebook and Instagram. We are copying the details below along with a link to the Facebook event page.

What’s scarier than Friday the 13th? Ethiopian Airlines transporting monkeys to laboratories for cruel and agonizing experiments, leading to their eventual, tragic demise. Now that’s a true horror!

In a follow-up to our protest last week at the airline’s Toronto office and in collaboration with our dear friends Progress 4 Science in Los Angeles, USA, we have created this important and easy action. Like TAVA, P4S is working with PETA on its campaign targeting Ethiopian Airlines.

On Friday, December 13, we are asking as many people as possible to storm Ethiopian Airlines’ Facebook page and cause a commotion by commenting on as many posts as possible (the more recent the post, the more effective). If you’re able to, please also bombard the page via Messenger. Sample comments can be found below.

We will be posting the airline’s handle on Friday morning. Please refrain from taking part in this call to action until then as we need everyone to participate on the same day.

There is also an Instagram action that you can find at www.instagram.com/to.antivivisection.

Here are some sample comments that you can easily copy and paste:

– Ethiopian Airlines ships monkeys to laboratories be tortured and killed in crude and painful experiments. Please stop the madness and go cruelty-free!

– Your airline has been cited for multiple violations of federal animal welfare laws. Ethiopian Airlines, do the right thing and stop transporting monkeys to laboratories for agonizing experiments!

– If you cared about your customers and public safety, you wouldn’t be flying monkeys to laboratories for experiments, including from Mauritius where tuberculosis outbreaks on breeding farms are well-documented.

– I choose not to fly with your airline as I am well-aware that it is complicit in abducting wild monkeys from their natural environment and shipping them to laboratories for cruel and unnecessary experiments, after which they will be killed.
