Could it be the possibility that breeders nation wide must be registered and that if regualar people (non breeders) will NOT be allow to breed their pets for a profit/business?
I have just joined this cause and signed the petition. Hope you will do the same.
Thanks for bring this to my attention, I am so glad that they stopped! I feel so good that I helped animals be saved.
Wow... I am a University of Michigan Alumnus and had NO idea this was going on! So glad they stopped doing it!
Just heard the news that the University of MI ends its live dog lab. Together we can make a difference! Anybody else as happy as I am? Thanks to everyone for caring.
What can we do to help? I know that writing to the state congressman has been done to help the cruelity of horses and there is no a bill trying to be passed in senate, maybe this would help..Maybe we al just need to get in our car,trucks suvs and head to Michigan and really make a scene, maybe call the local newpapers, What ever it takes we all need to do something quick before one more innocent life is destroyed.....
Dear Ms. Coleman,
My husband is a Michigan native and we've often thought of sending our children up to U of M for college. However those thoughts ended today when I found out about the use of live animals in your Advanced Trauma Life Support course. It is my understanding that simulations can be executed with dummies or models rather than on organic beings.
You are using animals from the pound. These animals more than likely were someone's pet and are trained to think people are their friends. Furthermore, the use of LIVE animals in your training brings up thoughts of experiments by the Japanese and Germans during World War II. It makes me sick and as an animal lover and concerned citizen I am begging you to ban the use of live animals from this program.
I will continue to advocate against your university and ATLS until your policies change.
They have dolls that they use for CPR training, can they not do the same if they need a dog's corpse. Simple, use a model, not the real thing. They have done this over & over, a dog has not evolved that much they need to keep up this practice. With today's technology we have computers & other learning methods. There is no need for this barbarack practice.
God, please help these poor defenseless animals. Those people at UM should be arrested for animal cruelty. How do people like these live with themselves and their cold hearts. I believe there is a "special" place for people that are cruel to God's creatures.
It is horrible that lost dogs of sick kids,who can't get to the pound in time,have their pets sent to "research".This means experimentation,where the dogs are burned or skinned alive,or have their tooth nerves tortured.It is pure evil, so we must save these dogs!
I don't know if this will help or not,but I have emailed ASPCA as well as the Humane Society of the United States. I forwarded all the information from savemichigansdogs.org....maybe if enough people do this THEY could do something.
Also it was a Boxer Dog

Such patience... never bit me at all as I grabbed it To use as a Babywalker!

her mom won crufts obedience true.
This is insane - in this age of technology and the ability to virtually recreate any trauma situation WHY any research or training program would use any live animals let alone dogs (or cats) is an atrocity. Get with the program - this is the 21st century, it's time for U of M and other institutions of higher learning stop this barbaric practice.
I remember in high school doing something to a fish's respiration and being so traumatized that I walked out of class and decided that science was not for me. I still regret not standing up for that fish. How sad that compassionate students, who would make wonderful health workers, should be expected to perform such cruel acts when non animal alternatives are far superior teaching tools.
