Lufthansa joins BUAV's list of airlines that do not transport monkeys for research01/09/2011The BUAV is pleased to announce that Germany’s national carrier, Lufthansa, has confirmed it no longer transports primates destined for research. Following a former campaign run by the BUAV and the German Animal Welfare Federation (Deutscher Tierschutzbund), Lufthansa adopted a policy to stop the international transportation of primates. However, the airline has remained on the BUAV’s publicised list of airlines because of a legal obligation imposed on Lufthansa by the German government to continue transporting primates for the German research industry. Recent correspondence between the BUAV and Lufthansa shows that this is now no longer the case. We are delighted to receive this news and to be able to move Lufthansa to our list of airlines that do not transport primates destined for the research industr...y.
