00:00Right, come on, that's enough now, lads.
00:03I can't stop it.
00:11We're here today as a part of the campaign against Impex Couriers.
00:15Impex are a company that transport beagle dogs from MBR Acres.
00:19They also transport monkeys from destinations like Manchester Airport
00:24to contract testing laboratories around the UK
00:27where these animals are used in very painful terminal experiments and toxicity testing.
00:33So these animals are poisoned to death.
00:35And the Impex vans that carry those animals around the country are currently in these sheds here,
00:40in these anonymous looking sheds in the middle of the countryside
00:43where no one can see them and no one knows what they're doing.
00:46We've found out where they are and we're here today to highlight that the Impex are here,
00:50what they do and why they need to be stopped.
00:53We're talking about beagle dogs, primates and other animals
00:56which, as I said before, are taken to contract testing laboratories, businesses
01:01and they're used in toxicology experiments where these animals can be slowly poisoned to death.
01:05In periods up to the 90s today.
01:07It's an appalling death, unnecessary in the 21st century
01:11when we have technologies that we can use that are more relevant to human beings.
01:16We shouldn't be doing this.
01:17So that's why we're here today.
