Wild-caught baboons subjected to cruel experiments in Kenya

UK investigation discovers practices and conditions of Kenyan research facility in breach of guidelines

December 2013: An investigation by leading UK animal protection organisation the BUAV in Kenya has uncovered the capture and use of wild baboons for research.

Legislation in Kenya relating to animal experiments is outdated and hopelessly inadequate. Wild baboons are captured and held at the Institute of Primate Research in Nairobi under conditions which seriously compromise their welfare and breach international guidelines, before being subjected to disturbing experiments by visiting researchers from the US and Europe, including the UK.
