Wait I had no idea this was even allowed to begin with
That led to an article published earlier this month that found the dogs — mostly puppies — were used for tests and killed before their internal organs were removed for further examination.
Animals are property in Canada. We have perhaps the worst animal rights in the western world. You can ship a hundred thinking, feeling creatures in an open grill trailer, 500km in -40C or +40C weather, without water, KNOWING for CERTAIN that most of them will arrive dead, and it is still not a crime. Animals need your attention and protection, because the people you trust won’t do it for them. Please go vegan.

What the fuck?
Pretty standard practice for animal research. Mainly mice and rats, but some types of research are better modeled by different animals.
Do you know what the laws are like in other provinces or countries?
There are national regulations covering animal research under the legislating body, the CCAC.
This. (For people who aren’t familiar with them) Regulations are also very strict to ensure the animals are cared for very well and not in pain, etc.
I’m not all for animal testing, but for some things it’s still necessary, sadly.
People are researching many alternatives to reduce animal experimentation as much as possible.

It’s baffling. I want to know each province’s laws now.
