The recent uncovering of dogs being used for testing at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London, Ontario has gained much media attention and immense public outcry.
In response, the Ontario government has tabled Bill 75 as a proposed legislation aimed at restricting invasive medical research on dogs and cats. If passed, it would prohibit harmful experimentation on these animals, except for specific veterinary research purposes, marking a significant shift in animal protection laws in Canada.
That said, “Experts warn: dogs and cats will not be safe from invasive research until Ontario closes every loophole” Link in bio under "News" for article
The Anti-Vivisection Alliance fully supports Animal Alliance of Canada’s Advisory Group on Humane Science’s recommendations:
'1. Strengthen Bill 75 and Proposal 52653 to ensure an absolute prohibition on the use of dogs and cats in harmful research with no exemptions.
2. Close all acquisition loopholes, including private imports, pounds and humane societies, transfers from other research facilities, and “other” sources.
3. Prioritize investment and adoption of humane, non-invasive, modern scientific methods in research.'
Anything less would be unacceptable.
