After the theoretical papers on Isa habit and horror, I had resolved to go on more "concrete", reporting news on the current legislation regarding the abandonment and mistreatment of dogs and cats.
However, the article published by my friend (long-time animal) Francesca on Facebook (and released by different tracks blog) last week struck me so much that I decided to share through these pages.
warn my readers that the most sensitive former guide vivisector Peter M. Hericksen could disturb them: rather than gory details, for tenderness inspired by this dog tortured - and yet always happy to see his captors ...
LUCCA - Always in collaboration with the association for animal rights Cremona A Non-profit organization, we publish the story of a German veterinarian specializing trying repentance for having witnessed what they did to mutt named Rodney in a laboratory.
The testimony, which shows how they are used in research laboratories mongrels dogs, probably collected stray or wandering on the roads also Italian, in original language on the German site http://www.tiermord.de/Tv.html .
The text is translated by a volunteer animal.
This guide has strong content that may offend the sensitivities of people.
Although this is a warning due, we feel publish them because they describe what actually happens in research labs on the skin of live animals, innocent, sentient.
"We called Rodney - says Peter M. Henriksen relating to his experience in the laboratory - it was a large German shepherd mongrel.
One ear had straight, the other was swinging when he walked.
was just looking, nothing special, as one of the many thousands of dogs that are in the world.
Then I was in veterinary specialist and he came from a local shelter.
Within three months of four of us have done surgery on him ..
was always happy when we saw its tail and slammed against the grill of his small cage.
Rodney's life was not much: a gentle pat on the butt and a short walk were the highlights of his day.
First, we castrated.
Usually in 20 minutes it was done for him but it took half an hour, and because of an excessive dose of a narcotic, is awakened after 36 hours.
Two weeks later, for purposes of research, we made the gut, we opened and closed.
But not good, because the day after the seam had opened and he sat on his small intestine.
Hastily we sewed.
and survived.
But there took a week so that he could walk again.
But he still there with his tail wagging his tail and greeted us so happy, as his strength would permit. "
"A week later, again drugged, we have a broken leg repaired with a pencil and put it in metal.
After this intervention seemed that Rodney had pain in continuation.
Its temperature increased and was no longer the same.
Despite antibiotics, has not yet recovered.
could not walk anymore and when we went to find him, wagging his tail very short.
His leg had been stretched and swollen.
One afternoon we then deleted.
With the life that came out of his body, my position on research with animals began to change.
now are of the opinion that there are moral and ethical considerations that outweigh the possible benefit.
Only for the fact that by chance, we are the most powerful species on earth, so we have the power but not the right to abuse the so-called 'lower animals. The purpose does not sanctify the means. "
