Another legal blow to Mazor Monkey Breeding Farm Yesterday (14 October) the Supreme Court rejected a request by Mazor Farm to compel El Al (Israels largest aviation company) to transport monkeys to laboratories abroad. The Supreme Court reaffirmed the Tel-Aviv District Court ruling from late September. The legal campaign against Mazor Farm is led by the Israeli Society for the Abolition of Vivisection, and Let the Animals Live. Until January 2015, Mazor Farm (BFC Monkey Breeding Farm) is still allowed to sell its 1,200 farm-bred monkeys to laboratories. Without El Als transportation services, however, selling is difficult. In fact, in its request, Mazor Farm claimed that without El Als services it may be unable to keep contracts with laboratories abroad, a situation that is likely to result in financial difficulties. Mazor Farm keeps another 700 Mauritius-born monkeys, who are considered non-tradeable for experiments. 50 additional Mauritius-born monkeys have already been sent to rehabilitation in mid-September.
