PETA protest over shipment of primates
HKT 16:58
In a provocative protest in Wan Chai, an activist wearing little more than bodypaint and heels called on Air France to stop facilitating animal cruelty by allowing primates destined for experimentation to be shipped on their planes.
The activist from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Ashley Fruno, stood nearly naked outside the airline's Hong Kong office as she handed out leaflets and spoke to curious members of the public.
She called on Air France to follow the example of other major airlines by banning the transport of monkeys destined for experiments.
