Death at UQ Labs
Vet students conducting LIVE Animal experiments resulting in the deliberate death of countless healthy animals at the University of Queensland.
Rejected racing greyhounds killed for experiments.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. Investigations into the University of Queensland veterinary science labs have uncovered truckloads of healthy animals left to suffer and die through experimentation at the UQ laboratories. These dogs, cats, and other abandoned animals are being deliberately killed by veterinary students. Despite fear of persecution, many ex veterinary students have blown the whistle on the poor conditions animals have been kept in at the UQ labs. Eyewitness accounts describe routine killing, neglect, and animals forced to endure painful procedures resulting in death. The university's own publications state: "The University of Queensland is one of only a few vet schools in Australia where live animals are used as part of the teaching regime." UQ veterinary professors maintain that the ability to experiment on live animals gives their students an "advantage", despite the accepted use and ready availability of humane alternatives. Where does this foster compassion in vets? Why are some students afraid to speak out? These are questions being raised by concerned students and activists who are calling on the University of Queensland to save the lives of hundreds of needy animals, move out of the dark ages and enforce a ban on animal experimentation.
