Despite the protests – labradorerna at the university of Gothenburg are killed

"Despite the protests – labradorerna at the university of Gothenburg euthanized"

"Over 80 000 signatures against animal testing in the six labradorerna at the university of Gothenburg have entered. Despite this notifies the university that animal experiments will continue and end with killing."

" How can you do research on a dog when you inflict the pain and believe that you are going to get reliable results? says Mark Collins, a former veterinarian at the university of Gothenburg."

"Aftonbladet has previously reported on the six labradorerna Venus, Milia, Mimosa, Luna, Lotus, and Zuri, who is kept locked in the university of Gothenburg's laboratory of experimental biomedicine. "

"the Dogs are used to test how dental implants cause inflammation and degradation of bone. Labradorerna captured six times, and 35% of their teeth pulled out before the trials are completed."

"in About two weeks time has expired, and the six two-year labradorerna will be killed."

"Mark Collins is a veterinarian and has worked at the laboratory for experimental biomedicine, Göteborg university. He calls the attempts at labradorerna terrible."

" How can you do research on a dog when you inflict the pain and believe that you are going to get reliable results? If the animal is not doing well you will get no good results and it is impossible for the dog to feel good in the situation."

"”the Dogs in the best of his age should not have bed sores”"

"Mark Collins points out that there are other ways to do the trials and that should not have dogs because hundtänder and människotänder is completely different. He believes that dogs know exactly what to expect when they come in and they're scared."

"– It does not look pretty when you yanks out the teeth. When you pull out the teeth of dogs require such violence and force to get reckon with käkfrakturer at the dogs, " says Mark Collins."

"During the two weeks aktivistgruppen Djurrättsalliansen received more than 80 000 signatures. Children and young people have designed the drawings and submitted to the Göteborg university to stop the experiments. "

" It has been a huge commitment, we get so many calls, emails and communication. But the timeframe is near, in two weeks, they should be killed, " said Daniel Rolke president of Djurrättsalliansen. "

"Will not interrupt the animal"

"Despite huge engagement and protests announced to the university that the trials will be completed, and that the dogs will then be killed. "

"the Management at the university of Gothenburg declines an interview. Instead, respond Margareta Gustafsson Kubista, presskommunikatör for the university, in an email: "

"It has not been necessary to interrupt the experiments. Thus, it has not been necessary for a decision on whether to attempt to proceed. Everything goes, so to speak, according to plan, and in accordance with the ethical state. It is also important to know that the killing of the animals this time included in the trials (because of the studies that need to be done on the bodies), and in the ethical state. "

"It is not so that the animals are killed ”after” the experiments. In research generally, with or without animal testing, it is not possible to change practices during the course of the journey. Science, ethics and funding require that the plan is kept. This applies to research in general, with or without animal experiments.”"

"A police report has been made and the county Malena Grimbrandt tells you that they have a pending case that is pending. "

"the Laboratory experiments with dental implants on dogs has been going on in several rounds since 2012. According to universitetetsansökan it is not possible to do similar studies on humans. "

"the Application was approved by the Göteborg animal ethics committee, on the grounds that ”its importance outweighs the suffering of animals”."
