Protest Now Through PETA reach us shocking images of beagle dogs in cargo transported to laboratories vivisectors Scots. The U.S. organization PETA obtained photographic evidence of at least 50 beagle dogs confined in folding, in charge of a Lufthansa plane.

The dogs were sent from Marshall Farms, a nursery in New York, to Charles River Laboratories (CRL), a laboratory vivisector Scotland. There the dogs would be used for the testing of pesticides.

This is one of the laboratories and farm animals in the world, with offices in many countries condemning the confinement, mutilation and torture to animals bred for themselves and those who buy from other countries. Since 2007, the company has been summoned to testify for more than two dozen violations of the Animal Welfare Act and recently paid a fine of fourteen thousand dollars after the 32 monkeys were cooked to death by overheating in one of its facilities Reno, Nevada.

Transporting dogs, Lufthansa takes advantage of the abuse of animals in laboratories and makes it even bigger trauma for these unfortunate animals, engaging in terrible conditions at a worse death.

Suggested Send the letter by PETA Vice President of Lufthansa, Jens Bischof, and ask to join other airlines like Qantas compassionate and Cathay Pacific, establishing a policy against transporting animals for use in laboratories. Sign here.
