You know I do not always agree with PETA's methods or accusations - but this is obviously cruel and unnecessary and we must do all we can to stop Pearlie begs you to please help these cats
Moshe Solomonow, a vivisector at the University of Colorado at Denver, cuts open cats' backs down to their spinal cords and attaches "S" hooks to their spinal ligaments. A machine then applies pressure in an effort to approximate what might happen if the cats were carrying heavy loads on their backs. Dr. Marius Maxwell, M.D., Ph.D., explains that "it makes no sense to use cats in studies designed to learn about human back issues. Solomonow's experiments are redundant and the applicability to humans is non-existent."
A whistleblower recently contacted PETA because he was concerned that the cats were still conscious and able to feel pain because of improper anesthesia. Although the whistleblower contacted the university's animal use committee, the committee's only response was to recommend adding a second drug that does not have any anesthetic effects when pain is substantial.
Please contact the University of Colorado's president and demand that he put an end to these cruel experiments.
