On July 15, 2010, In Defense of Animals rescued 55 long-tailed macaque monkeys from an insolvent toxicology laboratory in Oxford, New Jersey. This lab has been repeatedly cited by the USDA for Animal Welfare Act violations and had a license to sell animals. If not for this rescue, these monkeys could very well have ended up in other labs that routinely perform extremely invasive or terminal experiments on long-tailed macaques. Published articles from 2010 describe experimentation ranging from brain lesions, invasive brain studies of auditory, motor and visual cortex, Ebola virus, stroke, plague and drug-induced seizures. These intelligent, social nonhuman primates suffer when imprisoned for decades in stark lab environments. Monkeys often display clinical signs of depression and abnormal behavior including hair pulling, stereotypic circling and pacing, and even self mutilation. “Rescuing these young macaques from a miserable lifetime locked in a lab furthers In Defense of Animals’ mission in protecting the rights, welfare and habitat of animals,” said IDA president Scotlund Haisley. “These young monkeys would have been subjected to decades behind bars in cramped stainless steel cages, forced to endure painful toxicology tests. Now they will have a life filled with fresh air, friends, and freedom from harm.” IDA is transporting the monkeys to their new homes at four primate sanctuaries in Oklahoma and Texas.

In 1968, my wife and I moved to San Jose, California. My brother joined us a year later and we formed a film production company. In 1970 or 1971, we were talking to the San Jose Chamber of Commerce about producing a film on the city of San Jose. To give them an idea of what the film would look like, I went out and shot some 8mm footage which I planned to edit and show to the chamber. As it turned out, we ended up moving back to Florida and the film was never edited. This is the raw footage. It shows some shopping centers, downtown, a new movie theater and the home construction that was later to be the housing boom of the area. Take a close look at the signs for the new homes. You’ll see prices of either $25000 or $28000 for a new home.
Because dogs and cats in the Northeastern states area are spayed and neutered, there is a shortage of adoptable animals there. Stark County Dog Pound volunteers have teamed with PetSmart Charities’ Rescue Waggin’ to have dogs and puppies transported to new homes.

www.atailatatime.org A Tail at a Time is committed to finding permanent, loving, safe homes for domesticated animals that have either been abandoned in the streets of New York city or who end up in the New York city animal shelters (ACC). We are a no-kill rescue organization that believes that a domesticated animal living outside is not safe and deserves the warmth and comfort of a its own home. Animals that reside in the city animal shelters deserve the right to live out their natural life expectancy. We initially place the animals in foster homes or in adoption centers while we find loving adoptive homes for them. We also engage in activities that strive to educate the public about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets and in the humane treatment of animals. Our rescue group saves animals from the euthanasia list at the local city kill shelters and also we save abandonned homeless animals. These animals were someone’s pet. Because of allergies, moving, divorce or simply don’t want anymore these pets have been thrown out or surrendered to the city shelter where 8 out of 10 animals will be euthanised because of space. We hold adoption events a few times a month in hopes of finding new homes for these wonderful pets we have in our care. Applications are filled out and home checks are done. We are responsible for these animals. If you love animals and want to volunteer this is a great way of doing just that and meeting some new people! CONTACT US info …
