Wait I had no idea this was even allowed to begin with

That led to an article published earlier this month that found the dogs — mostly puppies — were used for tests and killed before their internal organs were removed for further examination.

What the fuck?

    Pretty standard practice for animal research. Mainly mice and rats, but some types of research are better modeled by different animals.

    Do you know what the laws are like in other provinces or countries?

    There are national regulations covering animal research under the legislating body, the CCAC.

    This. (For people who aren't familiar with them) Regulations are also very strict to ensure the animals are cared for very well and not in pain, etc.

    I'm not all for animal testing, but for some things it's still necessary, sadly.

    People are researching many alternatives to reduce animal experimentation as much as possible.
