The picture you see here is of Dog #3017, a sweet and friendly brown hound dog with a white face. Did you notice she has no name, only a number? Welcome to the world of animal vivisection and cruel and inhumane animal experimentation.
I am going to go ahead and give her a name for the sake of this post, every creature deserves at least that. I’m going to call her Emma. Poor lovely Emma found herself at the laboratory of Ohio State University experimenter George Billman (who btw is clearly a monster, just one more reason we need to [tag]stop animal experimentation[/tag]).
This beautiful and innocent dog was forced to undergo invasive surgery in which an artery was constricted—killing a section of her heart tissue—and a cuff was placed around another blood vessel. Only a short time later, that cuff was used to induce a heart attack in her while she ran on a treadmill.
Two days after her second round of strenuous testing—and despite records indicating that she needed to be monitored Emma was found dead in her cage. The worst part is that she was only 1 of over 700 animals tortured and killed in OSU’s lethal experiments about “sudden cardiac death.”
Over 700 dead dogs!! That’s a staggaring number of deaths and you know was learned from all this animal experimentation? Not much, the “scientists” learned all the things that everyone already know about heart attacks, most of the results had no bearing on humans anyway! A sensible person (like you and me) would ask why do all this then? Good question, it’s a question that you will never hear a meaningful answer to because there is absolutely no answer to be found.
Universities are simply paying people to perform animal testing and animal vivisection on innocent animals like Emma to prove things that have already been well documented. It is simply something to do to create jobs, maybe? Who knows, but anyway you slice it (pardon the pun) it’s sick and it’s wrong.
Here are just a few snippets of what some of the other university laboratories have been doing:
Pointless and painful experiments on animals serve only benefit those who profit from animal vivisection and testing. All that said, there is something we can do to help. We can work together to spread the word of what is happening and do our part to not use products and services that promote cruelty to animals.
We can also donate to organizations like PETA who fight to end this kind of animal suffering, the kind Emma was subjected to. I know some of you hate PETA, fine choose another charitable organization, just do something. If we don’t nothing will change. And remember that your donations are tax deductible.
UPDATE:
Nancy, one of my readers, mentioned the book Skinny Bitch below in her comment and I’ve checked it out and think it’s definitely sounds worth a read. It’s an entertaining book that teaches us how to eat better and become more healthy while also showing us how to stop contributing to animal cruelty and testing.
I’ve already ordered my own copy of Skinny Bitch, check it out for yourself. Your local library might even carry it if you don’t feel like spending money. Why pay for something you can read free, right? lol!

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS KIND OG THING….JUST MAKE ME SICK

That’s so horrible! Have you read the book Skinny Bitch? It goes on to detail all the horrible things they do to cows, pigs and chickens and reveals some pretty surprising info about the USDA. I’d recommend anyone to read it, if not for any other reason than to be more informed.

I haven’t read the book Skinny Bitch yet, but thanks for the tip, I’ve already ordered it online and am posting a link as an update to the post as well.
Anything that educates us about the food, drug and/or makeup industry and it’s cruelty to animals is something I want to promote

This kind of issue should be raised to the government, they should be aware and do something to it. what a shame…
June 25, 2009 at 12:39 pm
I though there are already laws that regulates these kind of acts? Poor thing. The government should definitely do something!

I like your blog design very cool as well as the post I will visit your page as often as I can.

It’s truly a sad story, no wonder today we’re suffering too much because since the start, Humans want to dominate every other being on this planet. We’re destroying our environment and planet and animals as well. It’s cruel and Animal Rights should file a suit against them! Universities which teach students to be a role-model in the future, if they’re indulged in such acts then whom you’re going to expect to be a great leader in the future?
