Thomas Cook demo in Worcester

Five activists held yet another Gateway to Hell demonstration at Monkey torture supporters Thomas Cook in Worcester High st this afternoon.

Hundreds of leaflets were handed out to members of the public throughout the afternoon alerting them to the vicious trade in primates on Mauritius and asking them to boycott the island of death until it closes its monkey prisons down once and for all.

Every demo that is held against Thomas Cook alerts more and more people about TC's connections with and support for evil animal abusers.

Banners stating Thomas Cook's support of animal torture were plain to see and drew loads of attention as usual. Donations were given by compassionate members of the public eager to help and protest postcards given out to send to the chief executive of Thomas Cook.

Another fine demo of which there will be many many more until Thomas Cook make that compassionate decision to boycott the island of death Mauritius until the monkey camps there are history.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to voice my disgust at Thomas Cook's selling of holidays to Mauritius.
I understand that Mauritius are one of the world's largest exporters of primates to animal testing labs where the animals suffer and die in pain.

I want you to know that until you stop selling holidays to Mauritius I will not be booking my holidays with Thomas Cook.

I urge you to put pressure on the Mauritian government to close down these evil monkey farms and ban the export of primates for vivisection.
Yours sincerly,

DATE:
Dear Sir,
Mauritius is one of the largest exporters of primates for vivisection laboratories in the rest of the world. To date four Mauritian companies have been granted licenses to catch and export primates.

Gateway to Hell is a European based campaign focusing on the issue of the transport on animals who are destined for vivisection experiments, in particular those which are wild caught. Inside investigations have shown that many of the animals suffer horrendously when captured, and
many die en route to countries in North America and Europe. Once in the laboratories they are then subjected to sickening and pointless experiments which any civilized person would clearly abhor.

With this in mind we are calling on countries involved in this export of animals for vivisection or otherwise to end this trade.

In the case of Mauritius we are calling for a complete revokation of all licenses granted to export primates forthwith, and for a guarantee not to license or otherwise permit the trade to take place in the future.

Should we fail to receive such a guarantee it is our intention to launch an international boycott against the Mauritian tourist and sugar industries, to let people know about the unfortunate primates sharing their flights with Air France and Air Japan out of the Republic of Mauritius.
However, it is our sincere wish that we can come to an amicable agreement on this issue.
Yours sincerly,
