The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) has become notorious for the brutality with which some professors and researchers treat laboratory animals. UCSF has been repeatedly found guilty of animal cruelty and fined, to no avail. The mistreatment includes denying anaesthesia during physically invasive experiments, denying food and water, antibiotics for infections, and medical cae. The same animals undergo multiple experiments without respite; and the researchers are so oblivious to the animals' sufferings that they have been known to leave pieces of plastic or other debris inside open brain experiments, often leading to infections or death. The animals live a life of constant torture. This abominable behavior on the part of some heartless faculty and research staff must cease! Please do all you can to stop it! UCSF must answer to the world for its lack of humanitarian behavior.

A lot of those tests on laboratory animals are NOT even neccesary!

Cindy Luce

I believe all this unnessary "research" is done for BIG BUSINESS. How many cosmetic companies do animal testing? I want to know their names so I can boycott their products. I know Loreal does
but who else? Probably all of them. And then the sunscreen companies put the babies under a sunlight for days to see if their sunscreen works. It's one bastard after another.

I call all animals babies no matter how old. Thank You

Sick researchers...they should test on themselves

Animal abusers should be hung for act of crime ,, the laws have to change ,,,,,

I WAS AT UCSF 25 YEARS AGO AND WE DID AND EXPERIMENT ON DOGS TO "TEACH US" ABOUT THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM, DOGS FROM SHELTERS WERE STRAPPED UP AND WITH AN INJECTION DIED AS WE WATCHED, I STILL HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT THAT DAY AND REMEMBER THE DOGS EYES, I COULDN'T ANSWER ANY OF THE QUESTIONS LATER, I WAS SHOCKED, I WAS MUCH YOUNGER, IT WAS HORRIFIC. THIS WAS MY ONLY BAD EXPERIENCE THERE, BUT IT WAS REALLY BAD, I CARRY THIS WITH ME ALL MY LIFE!

I don't know wshat to say expect, how to doctors of people practice on heart attack patients?
Do homeless people act as an experiment? I can't stand any tourture or abuse of anything.

Please stop..

As Humans we are responsible for the other beings on our planet. Inhuman acts of cruelty to other beings only lead to desensitization of values and morals that rule out interactions with other humans. If we do not make a stand against cruelty and bullying (inappropriate use of our power) at all levels then we are being irresponsible. Remember life starts when we stop talking and start acting (but we have to have the talking first to generate understanding and synergy).
