A huge thank you to the Mill team for exposing this story when so many other media had ignored it. If people feel strongly about this, they should e-mail the airport or its nine local stakeholder councils - people power can effect real change here.
The testing that is done on these monkeys is closely regulated and necessary for human safety.
There may be ways in the future of obtaining the same levels of assurance some other way. Until then I support the animal testing described in the article.
I'm a little late late to this but I do think any future coverage should probably interrogate whether any of the secrecy, fear, and caution is not necessarily because everyone involved thinks it's morally wrong but to protect workers from any extremist fringes of animal activist circles. I remember the story of the remains of Gladys Hammond being robbed from her grave for example. Not to suggest anything about the people and groups here of course but there is some relevant history to people's reactions I think

So unbelievable sad. Thank you for covering this. Hope it will help bring change.
