North Rose, N.Y. – Paperwork and video obtained by PETA from the European organizations www.thecampbeagle.com and Anima Denmark reveal that hundreds of canines are being transported by Scandinavian Airways (SAS) and others from the U.S. to laboratories all over the world, together with Charles River Laboratories, the place they’re tormented and killed in pointless experiments.
PETA despatched a letter urging SAS President and CEO Anko van der Werff to cease delivery canines and highlighting that Marshall BioResources, the place many of the canines transported by SAS come from, breeds tens of hundreds of canines and different animals every year in factory-like warehouses. On any given day, the corporate homes greater than 20,000 beagles and different canines in its sheds.
“U.S. corporations are packing beagles and different canines like a lot baggage and sending them to be killed in overseas laboratories,” says PETA Vice President Dr. Alka Chandna. “PETA is asking for an finish to this bloody enterprise and is urging SAS to cease partnering with these merciless services by refusing to move canines to their deaths.”
Authorities have cited Marshall BioResources for confining canines to unsanitary, dilapidated wire cages and for failing to offer ample veterinary care in violation of federal regulation. Whereas U.S. laws require solely that cages holding canines have to be massive sufficient for them to face up, sit down, lie down, and switch round, Marshall BioResources has failed to offer them with even that bare-minimum quantity of area. Canine have sustained accidents because of this.
Canine from Marshall BioResources had been despatched to services operated by the infamous animal testing behemoth Charles River Laboratories in France, Hungary, and the Netherlands. And within the U.Okay., Charles River conducts painful exams on animals for corporations that produce industrial chemical compounds, pesticides, meals components, and prescribed drugs by force-feeding them take a look at compounds, smearing experimental chemical compounds onto their shaved pores and skin, and forcing them to inhale poisonous substances.
Members of Congress involved about U.S. funding allotted to abroad animal laboratories simply launched the bipartisan Stop Animal Analysis Grants Abroad (CARGO) Act, which might prohibit the Nationwide Institutes of Well being from financing experiments on animals in overseas nations.
PETA—whose motto reads, partially, that “animals usually are not ours to experiment on”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.
