The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) conducts around 9,000 experiments on animals every year.
The animals used in this research – including dogs, mice, rabbits, sheep and pigs – are forced to endure painful experiments for things such as improving human fertility, studying nausea and trying to ‘model’ human muscular dystrophy in beagle-cross dogs.
Animal Aid has also uncovered a whole host of negligence and malpractice during these experiments – examples include animals dying on the operating table, a procedure abandoned due to the size of the animal and beagle puppies who were put down after suffering severe injuries as a result of an attack by an adult dog. Read more about the RVC’s experiments.
A veterinary college should be healing animals, not harming them.
