Primate Products Exposed: Anonymous Activists Release Photos
Anonymous activists leak gruesome photos from inside Primate Products
According to Bite Back, this week the recently-formed Animal Liberation Investigation Unit claimed responsibility for releasing horrific photos from inside Primate Products, a dealer of primates for vivisection.
The photos show numerous mutilated primates. The communique did not specify the source of the photos, but it is clear they were not intended for public release. The images will prove to provide more problems for a company that is already experiencing weekly demonstrations, and has had its trucks and an office set on fire.
View the photos here (Warning: graphic).
The Animal Liberation Investigation Unit communique is as follows:
The Animal Liberation Investigation Unit has obtained damning
photographs from within Primate Products, Inc. (www.primateproducts.com) in Miami, Florida. The photographs reveal the true faces of vivisection and the global primate trade.
The Animal Liberation Investigation Unit appears to be a recently formed leg of the underground movement, having claimed three actions (all in Europe) this year. I was unable to find a record of the ALIU prior to 2010.
In December I wrote about the new “intelligence unit” model, where activists are anonymously releasing incriminating or otherwise damaging information on animal exploiters.
In August, the previously unknown Fur Farm Intelligence Unit released the location of the Canada Mink Breeder’s Association Annual Meeting, the hotel check-in and check-out dates of each registrant, and addresses of fur farms owned by several attendees (likely to be vacant and unguarded during the conference). Months later, the FFIU disclosed the address of a previously unknown Oregon mink farm.
With the birth of the Animal Liberation Investigation Unit, anyone with damming information on animal absuers now has a title under which to claim and release such information. The ALIU title can now be used by employees inside labs, activists who break in and confiscate data, or anyone who obtains sensitive whistleblower information and wishes to release it anonymously.
I expect with the recent publicity surrounding whistleblowing generated by Wikileaks, combined with the new “Animal Liberation Investigation Unit” title under which to claim such leaks in the animal rights movement, we will see an increase in sensitive information on animal abusers being made public.

Stop experiments with animals!
People make me sick…how can anybody do this? This isn’t human…and human primates doing this to non-human primates….Nature must revenge!
This is so ugly! It is not necessary and it is just wrong…. STOP this barbaric behavior.

What is done…. will be done…..
Some quotes from my PSYCH 100 textbook
“Only about 7 to 8 percent of research is done on nonhuman animals, and 90 percent of that is done with rats and mice.”
“…most nonhuman animal research involves naturalistic observation or learning experiments using rewards rather than punishments. Furthermore, most research does not involve pain, suffering, or deprivation.”
“…psychologists take great care in the handling of nonhuman research animals.”
“In all institutions where nonhuman animal research is conducted, animal care committees are established to ensure proper treatment of research animals…”
“…you may be unnecessarily concerned. Remember that guidelines exist to protect the rights of humans, nonhuman animals, and therapy clients.”
then what the FUCK is this?
“The Animal Liberation Investigation Unit appears to be a recently formed leg of the underground movement, having claimed three actions (all in Europe) this year. I was unable to find a record of the ALIU prior to 2010.”
The Animal Liberation Investigation Unit has actualy been active since the 1990’s in the UK – the first investigation being the labs owned by “Boots the Chemist” in Nottingham UK. Other investigations include Cambridge University, Rentokil labs, Sussex university labs, Central Science Labs (MAFF/DEFRA) and more.
The aims of the ALIU are to collect information and photographic evidence inside animal abuse centres without breaking the law. A loophole in English law was exploited to the full – regarding the theft act ie. Intention. If documents were taken, they would be returned, therefore not ‘permanently depriving the owner of property’ … activists would usualy carry a written ‘statement of intent’ stating this fact. . And, with a few arrests made during investigations – no charges ever made – despite paperwork being taken from establishments. All investigations that i am aware of have been conducted during the working day – when no force of entry has to be made.
Hope that is of help
