PETA has learned that Covance, a company with a history of egregious cruelty to animals and the world's largest breeder of dogs for use in experimentation, is using Japan Airlines to transport beagle puppies from New York City to vivisection laboratories in Tokyo. PETA is asking Japan Airlines to follow the lead of Air Canada and other compassionate airlines by refusing to transport dogs and other animals to vivisection laboratories. Help us persuade Japan Airlines to stop participating in the cruel global trade in animals!

The journey to Japan can take up to 28 hours. Dogs are crammed into tiny transport cages, may not receive sufficient food or water during the long journey, and may be forced to sit in their own waste. Cargo holds often lack adequate air conditioning, heating, and ventilation, so animals may endure extreme discomfort from temperature extremes or suffocate from insufficient oxygen. And this is just the start of the animals' suffering.

Contact Japan Airlines and ask the company to stop shipping animals to Japan for use in laboratories.

Thanks Malnikov, I sent a letter this morning. I edited it to add that I had used Japan Airlines in the past but wouldn't anymore until they stop this practice.

The information about Air Canada seems to be inaccurate and out of date, as far as I can tell.

Does anyone have a more recent link contradicting the above? I hope so, but I'm inclined to think this is a mistake and that Air Canada is as much of a disgrace as ever.
