WARNING - viewers may find some images in this report disturbing. Animal rights campaigners in China are launching a campaign against the trade in cats for human dietary consumption. For some Chinese cat meat is an acceptable part of their diet. However the campaigners claim that domestic pets are being kidnapped and killed to fuel the roaring trade of moggy meat.
animal testing
EVERY year, millions of animals are used in medical and scientific research while millions more are tested to determine the “safety” of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and household products.
In recent years, with the increased protests from animal activists and the tightening of laws controlling the practice in the West, more and more outfits are “outsourcing” their testing or setting up offshore labs in countries where the awareness is lower and the laws are laxer.
Here are some of the animals commonly used in these tests:
Dogs
It can be difficult for people to imagine a fluffy pet suffering in a laboratory, but the reality is, many dogs are used in tests for applied medical research and education. Areas that have benefited include hormonal disorders, cardiology and osteopathic studies. Heart disease is one of the common diseases tested and studied on dogs.
Most dogs used in animal testing are specifically bred for this purpose but many stray ones are increasingly being taken from pounds for testing.
Beagles are the most popular dog breed for animal testing because they are considered an effective model for diseases and conditions in humans.
They are friendly and naturally happy; this lack of aggression makes them useful in animal testing.
The experiments in which beagles are used include experimental surgical and dental procedures as well as toxicology tests of various chemical substances and food.
Cats
Cats are used quite regularly in the field of neurology because their nerve cells can be isolated and obtained from their brain for experiments.
In fact, cats have contributed massively to our knowledge and development of neurological research. However, these experiments are believed to be extremely painful for the cats used.
Fruit fly
Invertebrates like the fruit fly are commonly used in animal testing because of their easy housing and care. Fruit flies are said to be useful in genetics research because their cellular make-up is simple, facilitating researchers’ study of biology and diseases.
Rodents
Rodents, which include rats, mice, guinea pigs and hamsters, are the most commonly used animals in bioscience and product research.
Mice are the most popular rodent because they are cheap to obtain, easy to handle, small and can reproduce rapidly. They are also thought to be a comparable model for human diseases and share most of their genes with humans.
Rabbits
Rabbits, particularly albino rabbits, are commonly used in testing for cosmetics and other chemicals. The main test conducted is the Draize test, which assesses drug toxicity by dropping a substance in the rabbit’s eyes or on their skin, which are then observed for redness, irritation or any other damage. This is said to be a very painful test and the rabbits are usually killed after it is completed.
Fish
It is estimated that around two hundred thousand fish are used for testing per year in the United Kingdom. Zebrafish is said to be the most commonly used in the study of biology and development because they can breed in enormous numbers. They are also quite small and transparent and can be manipulated well by researchers studying disease processes.
Frogs
The frog is one of the earliest animals used in animal tests for biomedical science. Eighteenth century biologist Luigi Galvani discovered the link between electricity and the nervous system through studying frogs. In 1952, Robert Briggs and Thomas Joseph King cloned a frog using a technique that was later used to create Dolly the Sheep. Today, frogs are still used in cloning research and other embryology branches because their early development process is easy to observe due to their “shell-less” eggs.
Non-human primates
Non-human primates are popular test subjects with some scientists due to their likeness to humans. They include several types of monkeys, such as marmosets, baboons, squirrel monkeys and the Cynomolgus Macaque monkeys. Non-human primates are primarily used in toxicology testing as well as to investigate the biology of the human body and treatment of diseases such as AIDS. Another use for non-human primates is psychological testing, including human’s learning behaviour.

Dog Abuse: Poodle named 'Sushi' Forced to Stand
Wednesday, January 26, 2011
This video that's been going around the internet for the past few days makes me sick.
Apparently, the video was and posted online by someone who picked up a pen-drive in a shopping mall in Malaysia containing this clip inside, all of 15 minutes and 7 seconds of it. But the video on Youtube has apparently been removed.
This sorry and skinny excuse for a human being was seen trying to 'train' the poor toy poodle named 'Sushi' to stand on its two hind legs. The moron seemed obsessed with getting the dog to stand on its two hind legs, and was strict about how Sushi must 'stand'. He repeated said in Cantonese, 'Stand Up!', 'Look Up!', 'Stand Up Straight!', '... or I'll PUNCH YOU!!!', and was asking his girlfriend who was filming, 'why his back-bone has no strength?'. The girl can be heard saying in Mandarin, 'Dear, enough, 10 minutes already', and, 'Dear, there is some blood at the mouth...'.
Repeatedly, the poor dog was punched, kicked, strangled, thrown, slammed against the wall, pulled at its leg, slapped, ABUSED. Sushi got so weak from the abuse that, even after it was thrown or sent flying after a punch or kick, it didn't bother trying to get up or run. And at one point, it fell off the small platform it was 'standing' on and was too tired to even get up or move, but instead just waited for the jerk to come back to pick him up and continue the abuse.
From his tattoos, the ring on his finger, and his plain ugliness, the infuriated netizens managed to 'human flesh' him out and tracked down the couple's identity, car license plate number, and even their Facebook profile. The SPCA in both Malaysia and Singapore were alerted to the case and the Malaysian authorities are apparently going to do something about it. I hope this won't end up fizzling out into nothing as both these countries are not known to have strong anti-animal abuse laws.
Pictures in their profile also seems to show that she now has another dog. They have pictures of Sushi as well as their other pets 'standing'. While it seems that Doreen Loo seems to be the girl involved, the identity of the guy has not been confirmed; 'Champ Alan' may or may not be the man in the video. Reports suggest that Sushi the poodle has already died. Well, I'm not surprised at all. I hope Sushi is in a better place now.
Now please take action and go sign the petition to make sure these losers go to jail. It only takes a few minutes, but your soul will thank you for it. God Bless the Human Race...
Look at their 'Human Flesh' activities, track them down!

Please Note: This Alan is not the 'Alan' in the video, mistaken identity!
Look at their sh!t faces on this Facebook profile (note the ring on guy's finger)
