Activists with Monkey Costumes and VW Air Pollution Masks in London

Greenpeace activists in monkey costumes react to the news that VW tested diesel fumes on humans and monkeys.

The German car industry has been carrying out animal and human tests, to try to prove that diesel exhaust gases are safe.
In the "experiments" monkeys were locked in airtight chambers and then exposed to diesel exhaust for four hours - from the engine of a VW Beetle.
This is the opposite of serious science, it’s aggressive lobbying to burnish the image of diesel cars. In the process, we’ve been abused for years as guinea pigs: for years, the car industry has brought manipulated diesels to the streets experimenting with our health.
The result: hundreds of thousands of premature deaths every year.
