Stop Dalhousie University from murdering dogs and puppies

Every year many animals are being dissected at Dalhousie University.

Kittens have had their eyes sewn shut at Dalhousie. Dogs, cats, rabbits, mice and rats are routinely stabbed with needles, tubes forced down their mouths, hearts and brains dissected while still alive.

This is unnecessary and cruel. Let's stop the animal testing forever.

In Great Britain, it's against the law for medical (and veterinary) students to practice surgery on animals, and British physicians are just as competent as those educated elsewhere.

Here is an article from Jan 2007 (Donald E. Mitchell from Department of Psychology, Dalhousie University) where  the kittens have a craniotomy, titanium chamber cemented to their skulls and the exposed brain was illuminated with green light. After the study, the kittens were killed via an i.v. overdose of barbiturate.

Here is an article done on dogs by the Departments of Surgery, Physiology and Biophysics, and Anesthesiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University. 9 dogs that were artificially ventilated and underwent thoracotomy.

John Sullivan and the Division of Cardiovascular Surgery at Dalhousie and the QEII Hospital still use dogs (denervated hearts) as well as nitric oxide rabbits.

Mice at Dal:

Animal care facilities at Dalhousie University include large animal holding and experimental laboratories at the Tupper Building (10,000 square feet), and at the IWK Grace Health Centre (4,000 square feet).

I hope this becomes so well known that your enrollment dropps and you have to shut the doors of the university forever !!

"Life is life's greatest gift. Guard the life of another creature as you would your own because it is your own. On life's scale of values, the smallest is no less precious to the creature who owns it than the largest." STOP This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please stop these senseless and extremely cruel experiment on dogs and cats. This troubles me to my very core. No animal should have to live its life in constant fear, pain and horror. Animal testing is disgraceful and it needs to be stopped at once! Dalhousie University needs to do what is morally and ethically right and that is to stop these horrible experiments on these living, sentient dogs and cats!

GET RID OF THIS PATHETIC CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT AND DO NOT REPLACE THEM WITH THE EVENLY PATHETIC LIBERALS!

This is a revolting practice that needs to stop. "Shelter" means to "protect" not give up animals for unnecessary and horrific experimentation. This place of "higher education" should be ashamed of theis practice.
