Ricky Gervais Supports “Stop The Baby Trade” Monkey Trade For Research
Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 in Actors, Animal Issues, Comedians.
Ricky Gervais is throwing himself into another campaign to help animals. The comedian and actor supports the BUAV (British Union Abolition for the Vivisection of Animals) to stop the international trade of monkeys in research.
“Imprisoning monkeys and snatching their babies is a disgusting way to treat other primates”, said Ricky. “Monkeys are highly intelligent beings who feel pain and distress, just like us.”
Perhaps just as tortuous as imprisonment is the way these creatures and taken from the parents in the wild, according to the BUAV site.
