Whats happening is this. V.A. has sunk to new lows!! :they are using innocent dogs for testing pacemakers in these dogs and putting them on treadmills till they collapse and die to further research pacemakers in veterans. This should be an outrage but instead they see nothing wrong with this practice since hundreds upon thousands of dogs are normally euthanized in dog shelters so this is the excuse that they use to continue their dog testing on these poor defenseless animals. it should be stopped IMMEDIATELY. I am a veteran myself of the United States Marine Corps and i myself wouldnt put my dog in these torture chambers!! I hope you find it in your hearts to help these adorable animals. So far there are 22 dogs being used for this deadly experiment. Please help these animals live the life they deserve!! Thank you for caring.Mr.Wilkes should be fired for doing these cruel acts against these dogs. They didnt ask to be in this position to be mamed and killed.
