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.

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 understand research has to be done, but on a living breathing animal...why! What type of person can look into these animals faces and do this to them and then go home and look in the mirror? Has anyone thought of bringing PETA in on this....I'm sure they can help with this. Melinda Hillier...animal lover

This is unacceptable and disgusting. It is unforgivable to leave do without, saying anything. That is of sadism. All these forms of research date from Middle Ages ! These docteurs, researchers and scientists make me think to "Nazis".

This kind of torture needs to be stopped NOW!!! If only just once put these men & women into cages & have their heads drilled into or their eyes sown shut or have their hearts cut into while they are still alive or disected while they are still alive. These babies did'nt ask for this & you would think that someone that works for this lab has to know that this is wrong & needs to be stopped & I truly believe that the only way it will be stopped is if someone from the inside puts a stop to this. They say that the Canadian gov. can't do anything about it, thats just bullshit I've got 5 babies, 4 cats & 1 puppy & if ever someone put there hands on any of them, there would be some serious hell too pay, I can gurantee this!

When is our society going to stand up together and fight against things that are wrong and unjust to innocent defenseless beings. The biggest changes in History took place with numbers of people fighting to make things right. Things can be changed but it takes everyone standing up. Don't turn a blind eye, Don't tell yourself it isn't happening because you don't see it. This type of abuse would not be tolerated on humans why is it tolerated on animals. I'm ready for a protest, and I'm ready now. I've had enough of sitting by crying, praying and feeling like theres nothing I can do. I know change can come and I want to be part of it.
