In December of 2014, Ady Gil purchased 1,250 long-tailed macaques monkeys from the Mazor Farm (official name is BFC) in Israel, to avoid the planned export to laboratories for Medical Research.
The Government of Israel which included Ministers, Knesset Members, the Ministry of environment and high ranked officials were all aware of the ongoing rescue and promised to take care of them once the purchase was completed and transfer them into an existing Sanctuary where they could stay for good. At the same time, when Ady Gil purchased the 1,250 monkeys, the Government took the breeding colony, total of 700 monkeys and moved them to the existing Sanctuary, mainly sponsored by the Government. So far Ady Gil is the only one who puts his personal money into feeding the 1,250 monkeys and cares for them every day.

The monkeys are in the original place (Mazor Farm), which will only be available until end of 2016.
Now it's important that the Government of Israel takes action and expand on the existing Sanctuary where the monkeys can stay for the rest of their lives, as THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD DO.
Sign this petition and let the Government of Israel know, that the world cares about these 1,250 monkeys.
Thank you all for your support!
