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.

If you are coming along, please let us know. Thanks!
It is with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Professor Benjamin Zephaniah. A wonderful friend and compassionate voice for all animals, Benjamin was an amazing supporter of Animal Aid for many decades....
