Call for Dr Jordan's resignation

 

 

South African Environmental Affairs and Tourism Minister, Dr Pallo Jordan broke the moratorium on export of live baboons and ignored the advice of his department, to approve the sale of 150 baboons to a controversial French-owned animal research laboratory.

We, the people of South Africa, are also concerned that no proper count has been done of South Africa's primate population, which is possibly becoming extinct in some areas.

The minister's laid-back attitude in handling this matter is entirely unsatisfactory.

 

 

We are calling for the immediate resignation of Dr Jordan as he is no longer to be trusted.
