Dogs burned alive in Chinese labs

Animal Defenders International (ADI) and our sister group The National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) are launching a campaign to shame the Chinese Government into halting cruel tests involving burning of dogs. The NAVS and ADI are calling on supporters to send a special postcard to the Chinese Embassy. Tim Phillips, Campaigns Director for ADI says: "These are perhaps the cruelest experiments we have ever uncovered, these dogs must have been in almost unimaginable agony. Worse still, these animals suffered and died in vain, there are ways of conducting this research without animals, and dogs are simply a bad research model for human beings."

Summary: The horrific series of experiments in which dogs are being burned alive took place at the Third Military Medical University at Chongqing, China. The experiments appeared in the Chinese scientific journal: ?Zhonghua Shao Shang Za Zhi. NAVS and ADI have uncovered three experiments published since 1999 and believe the programme of research continues. The 3 experiments involved:-
37 dogs burned with napalm
26 dogs were burned so severely that their brains swelled
24 dogs were deliberately scalded and suffered steam inhalation injuries....
