Protesters target Air France KLM investors over Animal Transportation

Protesters targeted investors in Air France KLM as the airline is reportedly the largest transporter of animals for vivisection. Franklin Templeton and Bank of New York were both targeted.

Allegedly the airline remains the only exporter of monkeys from Mauritius with an estimated 10,000 sent from the island each year.

The protesters first hit up the offices of Franklin Templeton Investments based in The Adelphi south of The Strand. A banner was unfurled in the lobby and after 15 minutes or so the protesters moved outside.

A Flight Centre on the Strand was also targeted, followed by Bank of New York at Canon Street and at Canary Wharf.

Organised by the National Anti-Vivisection Alliance, London's protest was part of a week of actions held globally against Air France KLM.
