In the evening hours of June 30th 2005, 43 beagles have arrived
from the breeding facility for dogs used for animal experiments in Italy on the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb. the dogs will go
through physical
checkups by the end of this week, whilst cruel experiments, which
will end up by deaths of all dogs after approximately 10 weeks,
will start with the beginning of the next week! The dogs are held
under terrible conditions:
constantly confined into narrow cages, amongst their own excrement,
without
daily walks, toys and contact with other animals and people,
necessary for their socialization. technicians responsible to care about the dogs are carrying dogs by their necks instead of walking
them. Dogs are constantly barking and throwing themselves on the bars of the cages, driven mad by lack of movement in captivity, under stress and boredom, which can be seen on the
video footage. According to the Act 28 of Animal Welfare Law,
experiments on animals may only be conducted by legal persons pursuant to the Decision authorising the conduction of experiments, which shall be issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water
Management. However, according to their spokesperson, the Ministry
never issued the permission for the experiments on these beagles on
the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, meaning that these experiments are conducted illegally and that persons involved in such experiments are breaking the Animal Welfare Law!
WE ASK FOR THE INSPECTION OF THE EXPERIMENTS CONDUCTED ON BEAGLES ON THE FACULTY OF VETERINARY MEDICINE AND MAXIMAL PENALTIES THAT SHOULD BE IMPOSED FOR SUCH MISDEMEANORS. Animal experiments are sick and completely wrong methods of scientific research, which spend time and money in vain and do not
help anyone, nor are they necessary for the development of medicine. While investing in animal experiments is continuing with neck-breaking speed, the plain and obvious truth is that using animals in laboratories as a substitute for
humans rather postpones than helps the medical
development.
