Some facilities that are admired for their amazing benefits and extraordinary job opportunities are hiding a particularly dark secret. these facilites include Northern Arizona University, W. L. Gore & Associates, as well as Senes Tech, Inc. Flagstaff, Arizona residents are mostly unaware that this company experiments on animals and are even more shocked to find out that a majority of these animals are stray dogs. Which raises this question, “If dogs are supposed to be man’s best friend, then why are hundreds of dogs in the state of Arizona tortured and experimented on?”
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 92 percent of drugs that are deemed effective and safe in animal trials fail human trials. This is because they don’t work or are actually dangerous to humans. These include drugs like Thalidomide, Zomax, DES, and Accutane. They were thoroughly tested on animals and believed safe, but have caused devastating birth defects and have even killed some patients it was supposed to treat.
Over 100 million animals are mutilated, burned, crippled, abused, and poisoned in US laboratories each year. Of the 100 million, 90% of them are not counted in the official statistics. Animals don’t just get tested once and are set free. They can test an animal several times for a single chemical which has already been proven to cause skin irritation or burning. A registration for a single pesticide requires more than 50 experiments and the use of 12,000 animals. But the cruelty does not stop there. Some tests involve impregnating and killing an animal in order to test their unborn fetuses.
After reviewing the 2011 USDA annual report, Gore had reported 82 dogs, 12 rabbits, 7 sheep, 125 pigs upon which experiments, teaching, research, surgery, or tests were conducted involving accompanied pain or distress.
When questioned about the ethical side of animal
testing, Alanna Wagy stated that “it is wrong to experiment on animals for the
same reason that it is wrong to experiment on the poor, the mentally disabled,
or the institutionalized. That they are smaller, weaker, or less able to
communicate in ways that we can understand does not give us the right to barter
their lives away.” Ban animal testing in the city of Flagstaff, Ariz.

Used to live right by there and the noise at night was awful. I knew something was wrong but nobody would ever talk about it. Stop this now.

This article has false information. These companies/institutions do NOT test on stray dogs; to legally test on animals they must adhere to extremely strict regulations for animals that are raised specifically for laboratory purposes (think about it, no sound investigation will use uncontrolled variables like genetics, disease, diet, etc.). These animals are likely living the most comfortable life possible when being raised, and any actual testing is done in a manner that is as painless as possible. Go fact check this yourself, this petition is rife with falsities and should be revoked. Outside of the animal claims, 92% of drugs entering human trials do NOT fail, that's absolutely proposterous and sourceless (the petition is claiming that 92% of all people participating in drug trials will suffer permanent harm, death, or complete in-efficacious results). Accutane is a commercialized drug. These are just random spot fact checking that I performed, but that's enough for me. I'm sure if you check more of the claims in this petition, you will find a lot more misleading or erroneous information.

FACTUAL information, "J G". I did a fire inspection there. They remove dog's legs to test their prosthetics. FACT. When they see it fit that the dog is no longer needed (or unable to resume testing), there is a large kiln to dispose of them in. FACT. Note: If any vendor says anything about a procedure while in the facility, the are IMMEDIATELY REMOVED. FACT. So, try to get a tour of this "fine establishment". Good luck with that. And, don't go with the "proprietary Information" garbage. This place is an animal Auschwitz. FACT. If you want to dispute this, "J G", start bringing on some real facts, not the ones that suit you. BTW, "J G", do you work there? Be honest...
