BUAV’s investigation exposed the grim reality of life for hundreds of dogs in toxicity testing in a UK laboratory. In this toxicity test, the substance was rubbed into the shaved backs of beagles. Tight sticky plaster was wrapped around the dogs’ backs. Some were also forced to wear collars to prevent them licking their backs. The dogs spent their brief and miserable lives in isolated, barren, unfriendly cells without bedding or play objects. When the plasters were removed, the dogs’ backs looked extremely painful with bleeding and open, weeping sores. Many dogs suffered from the effects the test compound had on their bodies. Signs included bleeding, vomiting and diarrhoea.
