URGENT: Animals Being Burned in Texas University Lab

Avatar of Rachelle-O

Posted January 7, 2011 by Rachelle Owen

According to an insider at University of Texas Medical Branch, dogs, monkeys, sheep, goats, ferrets, and mice are being used in cruel experiments in which their bodies are burned, mutilated, and cut open, and these animals are also suffering as a result of careless handling and severe neglect.

Our source reports the following:

  • UTMB faculty members cut open dogs and surgically implanted tubes into their colons for irritable-bowel experiments. One dog reportedly died during surgery, and another died in pain following surgery when staff members did not provide anesthetics and were apparently unable to use the monitoring equipment correctly.
  • Mice died, most likely as a result of dehydration, after staff members failed to notice that the animals did not have access to water.

HELP END THIS NOW!

Click here to send a short e-mail to UTMB President David L. Callender and urge him to immediately investigate these claims and dismiss any employee whose incompetence, negligence, or outright cruelty are found to have contributed to increased pain and misery for animals.

Stay loud!
-Rachel

    These things don’t even deserve the word human or person in any description. They are things and that’s even too good for them.
    They will all hopefully wake up and realize someday that there is probably an app or software that will duplicate any scenario that they have ? about. Why be so carefree when it comes to a Living Soul no matter what type they all have feelings and can feel pain. When will these things in our world realize that without these animals we as a race are doomed.
    Shaking my head in shear amazement.
