Russian scientists systematically poisoned and killed over a thousand dogs to develop the military grade nerve agent recently used in an attack on a double-agent and his daughter in the UK. Evidence suggests these poor animals were subjected to painful and grossly inhumane treatment.
From the 1970s to the early 1990s, Russian scientists were developing the formula for a group of nerve agents known as Novichok at the Chemical Research Institute near Nukus, Uzbekistan and at the Shikhany Institute in southeastern Russia.
In the early 2000’s the United States was asked to help destroy these facilities. During the project, Andrew C. Weber, a former assistant secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical and biological defense programs saw restraining devices for dogs. These devices were used to immobilize them while scientists applied Novichok. It is estimated that at more than 1,000 dogs were killed at the Nukus testing facility.
Novichok nerve agents are more toxic than other agents, but their symptoms are similar. They block messages sent from nerves to muscles, and shut down crucial body functions. Symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea, high blood pressure, loss of consciousness, coma, and death by affixation or cardiac arrest.
Testing a deadly nerve agent on animals is inhumane. It is heartless. The dogs that were imprisoned and poisoned at these facilities endured disgusting treatment. Military grade nerve agents like Novichok should not exist. They should not be used on humans. And they most definitely should not be used to inflict harm on innocent animals.
Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested
to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad
is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely
off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Hurrah, that’s what I was searching for, what a stuff!
present here at this webpage, thanks admin of this web site.
Hi there, I’m definitely delighted I found your website and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking
back often! Kudos for the post!
RUSSIA =YOU ARE DISGRACE !!
“MAN-UNKIND!”
sick and evil
This is HORRID!!!
Russians are horrible animal abusers. This level of cruelty needs to be addressed by politicians and United Nations.
Horrible and cruel!
Dear Mike, I’d like to rescue the dog of the picture and want to adopt him. Do you know where he is and who (animal welfare?) I could contact for this? Thank you very much for your information. Andrea from Germany
Absolutely horrendous and repulsive, but people should be aware that our own government does the same type of thing. Our military also develops nerve gases using animals and tests weapons on them which is just as bad. Virtually any university of any size (and all the major state universities) have animal experimentation programs paid for by taxpayers via the National Institutes of Health, which, by the way, is getting a big boost in this year’s federal budget
This is bad an terrible
