Researchers at Gothenburg University in Sweden are planning to kill six Labradors this month in the final stage of a cruel and invasive medical experiment.
Venus, Milia, Mimosa, Luna, Lotus, and Zuri are the unwilling participants in dental research at the university. During their incarceration, researchers have removed one-third of their teeth and inserted implants. By the time the experiment comes to an end, the dogs will have been put under anesthesia six times.
The experiments are designed to study how effectively a new style of dental implant integrates with human tissue. Dogs are chosen as subjects because they have similar saliva and oral bacteria to humans.
Swedish animal rights organization Djurrättsalliansen (Animal Rights Alliance) have been fighting to save these dogs, so far to no avail. In spite of a petition which garnered more than 80,000 signatures, the university says they still plan to kill the animals. They state that the euthanasia is an essential part of the research, as the bone, tissue, and blood needs to be tested; procedures that are impossible on a live animal.
In spite of repeated requests, the university has declined to meet with animal advocates to discuss the experiments.
Thousands of people have protested on Gothenburg University’s Facebook page, and British comedian Ricky Gervais and vegan actor Peter Egan have also spoken out asking the university to spare the lives of the Labradors.
Join the fight and urge the University of Gothenburg to do the right thing by saving lives of these innocent dogs and investing in animal-free testing methods instead.

No animal cruelty tolerated
I hope wholeheartedly that each of the “researchers” dies of complications of dental disease (heart valve infections, etc.). They have earned painful deaths because of the hell they have put those defenseless dogs through. The torturers are well educated, but that does not preclude their being psychopaths.
Note the FBI’s definition of psychopath:
The FBI recognizes the link between hurting animals & hurting humans, & calls people who do so psychopaths.

ALL animals DESERVE respect, love, care & protection! A GRATEFUL human would have a heart of Empathy, Compassion, Humanity & Kindness for all our precious beloved animal friends! Live a MEANINGFUL life by doing GOOD to every living being! Always remember that God is watching all of us!
You are barbarians. You will do ANYTHING for $$. This is not about helping humans, this is about lining your pockets with blood money.
To whom it may concern:
I, along with many others, am concerned about the dogs that you plan to kill at the end of your experiments. I ask that you do the humane thing and allow these dogs to be adopted to caring homes. Sweden is thought to be a progressive, modern country, and in part that includes, in the minds of most modern and civilized people, our kind and ethical treatment of animals. Please allow them life.
STOP EXPERIMENTING ON ANIMALS….THIS IS CRUEL VILE AND EVIL! STOP IT NOW! AND DO NOT MURDER THESE DOGS YOU PATHETIC HUMAN GARBAGE!!!
Please save these animals
This was the email I sent……
Please spare the lives of the six sweet Labradors used for dental experiments. What an outrageously cruel way to treat them! They have already been through so much and deserve to have wonderful homes. I can’t even fathom how you can live with yourselves destroying such beautiful intelligent creatures who make the best pets. It is inhumane what you are doing and I hope you are capable of showing some degree of kindness in letting them live. Otherwise, you are monsters with no heart or feelings.
Shameful, disgraceful, criminal! Stop Researchers from Killing Labradors for Barbaric Dental Experiments
Heartless!!!! Let these innocent victims live out the rest of their days with the love they so deserve. Maybe YOU should have been apart of the dental experiment instead of the dogs? Shame on you!
Have a heart. Do not kill these dogs. Rehome them so they can live out their days with the love they so deserve. Stop using innocent animals for testing. This is BARBARIC!
DO NOT KILL THESE DOGS. REHOME TO LIVE OUT THEIR DAYS W THE LOVE THEY DESERVE. BARBARIC!
Please spare these dogs their lives!!!!
Don’t let them do this inhumane thing
Stop animal testing
Say no to animal testing, this should be a thing of the past!
Shame on you! It’s 2019 for God’s sake! You must be cruel, heartless, psychopaths that can inflict pain and suffering on the inicentband defenseless! We must respect all life if we want a safer more peaceful world for our children and grandchildren. How can you promote violence. On those that don’t want to be tortured and sleep at night???? We all know live experimentation is NOT necessary. Start respecting ALL life! Do the right thing and end this NOW! Make the world a better place if you don’t you are evil, monsters. Remember Karma is a bitch!
THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANIMAL ABUSE & CRUELTY. HARSH PUNISHMENT INCLUDING LONG JAIL TIME & HEFTY FINES MUST BE IMPOSED…WORLD WIDE.
Interdire l’expérimentation animale qui est une honte !
It is not necessary to use and then kill these dogs for dental experiments!

“To a man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable in the sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man who causes it is a criminal. But thousands of animals are uselessly butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. If any man were to refer to it, he would be thought ridiculous. And that is the unpardonable crime.” (v)

“Stand still, close your eyes and listen; in the silence you can hear the cries of pain and low moans of anguish of animals waiting to die… do everything you can even if today it is just one small thing.”
“What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected.”

“Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is…whether its victim is human or animal…we cannot expect things to be much better in this world…We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity.”
– Rachel Carson
“If only we can overcome cruelty, to human and animal, with love and compassion we shall stand at the threshold of a new era in human moral and spiritual evolution – and realize, at last, our most unique quality: humanity.”

I feel so sad for the living, breathing, feeling animals that have suffered at the hands of men. I feel such anger and even hatred towards those men who would inflict such pain and suffering on an animal that wants only to love and be loved. My mind cannot comprehend such behavior, such lack of compassion. I wonder what goes on in the mind of such sick people who torture, neglect, abuse and fight animals with no sympathy or compassion for what they are doing. I do know that I feel our country has totally inadequate cruelty, abuse and neglect laws to help protect our animals. Even the states with the toughest laws could make tougher ones.
No animal cruelty law should be less than a major felony. No neglect law should be less than a minor felony, at the least. And people caught fighting animals should be locked up for life.
STOP SCHOOLS FROM THE BARBARIC PRACTICE OF EXPERIMENTS ON LIVE AIMALS!!!!

Stop experimenting on animals!
Stop thinking and acting without empathy 💔
Go vegan, and stop torturing ALL nonhuman animals. Human animals can volunteer, nonhuman animals cannot.
