Oppose the use of greyhounds in vivisection in Australia and New Zealand For evidence of ex-racing greyhounds used in horrific experiments: http://www.thylazine.org/photogallery/knight The Australasian greyhound racing industry is passing on countless greyhounds that are no longer fast enough or making them a profit by selling or donating them to vivisection laboratories for experimentation, dissection, and surgical training. These helpless
victims that have already been betrayed by the racing industry
are adding to the number of tortured animals suffering in vivisection
laboratories Yet
many alternatives exist click
here to find out more.
Animal Activism Queensland in collaboration with Greyhound Action International have evidence of greyhounds being supplied for the purpose of experimentation (see photos below). These helpless greyhounds and a german shephard puppy are amongst countless other dogs that are being abused as 'subject' of experiments at University of Queensland Veterinary school. The
following photos were taken by Animal Activsm Queensland.
(GA
comment: notice that the dogs in the middle photo are wagging
their tails ... one of the reasons they are used for vivisection
is that greyhounds are so loving, trusting and placid) Below
is a testimony of student at UQVS: ACTION
