Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Please sign petition, letters needed. The Medical School at the University of California San Diego currently kills dozens of dogs each year in its first-year pharmacology and physiology classes. These vivisection teaching labs are performed on purpose-bred dogs and are neither research nor surgery practice. 95% of U.S. medical schools kill no animals in pharmacology, and 82% kill none in physiology, including Stanford, Harvard, Yale, and Johns Hopkins. Students and taxpayers are being forced to contribute to the $576 per dog even though there are effective, cost-effective, and humane alternatives such as videos, computer simulators, human cadavers, and the observation of human surgery. UCSD does not feel that these labs are a threat to the animals' welfare. Please tell them that as compassionate people, you object to the cruelty of caging and killing dogs, to the waste of money on outdated, unethical practices, and demand an end to all vivisection teaching labs at UCSD.
