Cruise stop in Bahamas
Dear all - according to Norwegian we're supposed to check whether we need a visa or not. We - German passports and one with Greencard from the US - are traveling to Nassau - do we require a visa for the stop ? Thanks in advance Marion

Cruise requirements
Hello Hermann-Josef Hermanns,

I double that this name is right.

Is there anything we need for our cruise besides our passport? Our cruiseline recommended to ask for it.

Sincerely Clivia Fritzsche

Primate Experiments
I am shocked by the findings from the investigation carried out by the BUAV and Soko Tierschutz at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, a leading research institute in Germany, which has revealed the immense suffering inflicted on primates in cruel experiments.

The experiments, some of which were publicly funded, involved primates being subjected to severe water deprivation (sometimes for days) and physical coercion. They underwent major surgery to have devices implanted in their skulls and were then held rigid in ‘primate chairs’ inside testing chambers to carry out repetitive tasks for hours at a time.

In addition to the terrible pain and suffering experienced by these monkeys, I believe that this fundamental research to study macaques’ brains is the wrong approach. There are better ways to do this research that do not inflict harm and suffering on animals.

I appeal to the Government of Germany to take immediate action to suspend all licences to conduct research on primates at the MPI and to carry out a full inquiry, independent of the MPI and the authority.

I look forward to hearing from you.
