Canada imported nearly 1,800 endangered wild-caught monkeys for testing and research, sparking calls for a ban

October 9, 2025

Canada has imported nearly 1,800 endangered wild-caught monkeys from Mauritius and Cambodia for use in testing and research since 2021, prompting calls from animal welfare advocates to ban the practice.

The advocates say Canada is out of step with other countries, such as Britain, which have banned the import of primates caught from the wild for use in animal testing.
