A row has broken out over the fate of at least 1,000 endangered monkeys imported to the US from Cambodia for a testing laboratory and might be killed or returned home “to be trafficked again”, say activists.
The long-tailed macaques were among several shipments imported by Charles River Laboratories (CRL) in the past six months, and denied clearance because the lab could not show that they were not caught from the wild, according to animal-rights organisation Peta.
