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. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2006.05273.x?cookieSet=1
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. http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=1936654
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: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1428400
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).
Due to pressure from Dalhousie University, Facebook had to deleted this group. But Facebook brought us back and we have more support than ever. Thank you !!

Please keep signing this petition, we are making a difference and hopefully Dalhousie will stop using animals soon. Thank you again for your support !

I had no idea such a terrible thing was happening so close to home. Inhumane cruelty. Vet students should feel ashamed and refuse these types of practices.

Animals should not be used as scientific experiments. We have these animals in our homes, and I'm sure that I can speak for most pet owners and say that my pets are family. It is cruel and inhumane to give these helpless animals such pain and agony. What can you possibly be teaching a student when sewing a kitten's eyes shut or dissecting their hearts and brains while they are still alive? Is it really worth killing an animal for a class at your university? Since Great Britain's medical students are competent and educated without practicing surgery on animals, there is no reason why Dalhousie University needs to be so cruel. Please think of your own pets and how you would feel if you saw this happening to yours. There are other ways to research and educate ourselves, and torturing and killing animals is not an option.

It scares me that people are able to do these things to feeling creatures and think it's ok. Test it on yourselves instead.

In this day and age when we have the knowledge that we have why do we insist on being so barbaric,cruel are we not suppose to be the most intelligent species on earth. We are not acting as we are by testing on helpless animals.
