Queen's Brian May asks Russia not to send monkeys to space

Queen star Brian May has pledged his support to a campaign to make Russia reverse its decision to spend monkeys into space in 2017.

The Russian Federal Space Agency are due to send four rhesus macaque monkeys to Mars as part of a space experiment.

However, animal rights group PETA are calling on Russia to instead send the monkeys to a sanctuary.

Posting a link to the group's petition on Twitter today (December 28), Queen guitarist May said:

"I'd like to do something about this. God knows what they have suffered already. Let's sign. and...Bri."
