Titolo: OT: ma questo è vero o è come i gatti in scatola???

scusate x l'OT!!
se è come i gatti in scatola è proprio di pessimo gusto, ma temo proprio che
tutto ciò sia pura verità!!
Sere
Abbiate il coraggio di leggere fino in fondo questa mail perchè per
comprendere e migliorare la societ? bisogna conoscere la realt?, anche
quando questa pu? essere assurda e mostruosa.
La nostra civilt? occidentale, che con grande orgoglio consideriamo
"avanzata", ha prodotto individui autodefiniti "scienziati" che finanziati
dall'industria dei detersivi, profumi, saponi, cosmetici e farmaci sfruttano
l'impossibilit? di difendersi degli animali per realizzare fumose
pubblicazioni e, talvolta, per sfogare impunemente il proprio sadismo
represso.
Non possiamo pubblicamente elencarvi i marchi delle industrie che finanziano
la sperimentazione animale per poter testare prodotti chimici da utilizzare
nei loro prodotti (quasi sempre per ridurne il costo di produzione).
Sappiate comunque che quasi tutti i prodotti che trovate in circolazione
sono testati su animali, nonostante diversi studi abbiano dimostrato la
scarsa utilit? di questi metodi e l1esistenza di valide alternative
solamente un poco pi? costose. Vale comunque la regola del silenzio-assenso.
Se su un prodotto chimico non trovate la dicitura "NON TESTATO SU ANIMALI"
quasi sicuramente è stato sperimentato con atrocit? sugli animali. Nei
grandi supermercati trovate purtroppo quasi esclusivamente prodotti di
questo tipo. Ci sono tuttavia diverse catene di negozi,spesso all1interno
dei centri commerciali, che vendono unicamente prodotti non testati su
animali. Controllate che vi sia la dicitura impressa sulla confezione.
Quello che possiamo invece comunicarvi, sono alcuni indirizzi di allevamenti
italiani di animali destinati alla vivisezione. Li troverete in fondo a
questa mail.
I casi che vengono esposti qui di seguito non costituiscono che una
minuscola parte di quelli riportati da autorevoli riviste. Chi avesse dei
comprensibili dubbi, sulla loro autenticit?, si rechi senza timore presso la
sede di CARE, (Cooperation for Animal Rights in Europe) Via V. Emanuele
202 - 12049 Bra (Cuneo) un'atroce e sconvolgente documentazione dissiper?
rapidamente le incertezze e creer? il pi? profondo disgusto in chiunque
possieda un minimo di umanit?. Quasi tutti gli esperimenti vengono
effettuati senza anestesia. Ecco qualche esempio:
- 15.000 animali ustionati vivi sino alla morte per dimostrare
statisticamente gli effetti, gi? noti, di un estratto epatico.
- Cucitura tra loro di numerosi animali (per studi sull'uremia) attraverso
la pelle. Poich? la pelle si strappava, i malcapitati venivano in seguito
cuciti per i muscoli della pancia, ma talora riuscivano ugualmente a
separarsi, lacerando i tessuti, con fuoriuscita degli intestini.
- Centinaia di scimmie completamente immobilizzate per mesi e mesi (talvolta
anche per anni) dagli apparecchi di contenzione e fatte impazzire per mezzo
di brutali scariche elettriche finch? non si manifestarono i sintomi
dell'epilessia (convulsioni, schiuma alla bocca ecc.).
- 14 gatti spellati vivi per sapere se, in questo caso, una somministrazione
di adrenalina sarebbe riuscita a evitare l'abbassamento della temperatura
corporea.
- Per verificare se il taglio del nervo simpatico costituisce una protezione
contro il congelamento, a 10 cani vennero prima recisi i nervi delle cosce e
poi congelate le zampe: ad alcuni di essi queste rimasero deformate, ad
altri si staccarono, i rimanenti morirono in una lenta agonia.
- 130 giorni di schiaffi, scossoni, compressioni della coda (per mezzo di
una morsa) a un gatto onde studiarne le manifestazioni d'angoscia. Prima di
morire per il dolore, la vittima riusc? ancora a sopportare numerose
scariche elettriche su ci? che rimaneva della coda martoriata. Allo stesso
fine altri ricercatori usarono invece pavimenti arroventati e spilloni sotto
le zampe.
- 56 scimpanzè strappati alle madri nei primi giorni di vita e mantenuti in
totale isolamento per 5-8 anni, al fine di studiarne il comportamento.
Qualcuno impazzì, altri tentarono il suicidio, altri ancora continuarono a
mordersi e a graffiarsi a sangue.
- 350 scimmie Rhesus (la cui struttura ossea, elasticit? e resistenza sono
ben diverse dalle nostre) gettate contro un muro di cemento per controllare
gli effetti degli incidenti automobilistici. L'esperimento venne in seguito
"migliorato" usando babbuine gravide. Fu cos? possibile fare una eccezionale
scoperta: "maggiore è la velocit? del veicolo e maggiori sono i danni"!
- Onde studiare i trapianti, fu creato un mostruoso essere a due teste: un
pastore tedesco sul cui collo venne innestato il capo di un altro cane. Le
due teste, rese folli per il dolore, continuarono a mordersi per 29 giorni,
prima che gli sperimentatori decidessero la soppressione dell'animale.
- 500 ratti, ciascuno fatto ruotare per 650 volte in un tamburo di metallo
per studiare shock traumatici in assenza di emorragie. A quelli estratti
moribondi vennero estirpate ghiandole o visceri e furono quindi rimessi sui
tamburi per ulteriori osservazioni.
- 300 cani mantenuti costantemente in una posizione stressante e quindi
ammazzati con una scarica elettrica al cuore. L'esperimento è servito a
dimostrare che per uccidere un cane stressato occorre meno elettricit?.
- Zampe anteriori amputate a decine di topi per osservare come avrebbero
fatto, in tali condizioni, a lavarsi.
- 350 gatti obbligati a stare (fino a 70 giorni) su un mattone a fior
d'acqua in modo che non potessero addormentarsi (il muso cadeva nell'acqua
provocando l'immediato risveglio). L' esperimento ? servito a dimostrare che
"la mancanza di sonno ? dannosa per l'equilibrio mentale".
- Continue scosse elettriche a una capra per condizionarla ad alzare una
zampa in risposta a un dato rumore. Dopo 4286 prove la capra, ormai
terrorizzata, non riabbassava pi? la zampa se non riceveva un ulteriore
scarica elettrica.
- Interminabili scariche elettriche su centri nervosi di scimmie per
dimostrare che "il dolore rende aggressivi".
- Centinaia di gatti, immobilizzate da stanghe d'acciaio che attraversavano
le orbite svuotate, il palato e le orecchie, ai quali venne recisa prima la
colonna vertebrale, quindi distrutti udito e olfatto, poi asportati i
testicoli e, infine, messo a nudo il nervo del pene per attaccarvi degli
elettrodi e somministrare continue scosse, sino alla morte. Un metodo usato
da diversi laboratori per studiare la vita sessuale dei gatti.
Altri esperimenti per determinare:
- Quanto mascara possiamo gettare nell'occhio, privato delle palpebre, di
una cavia, prima che si determinino danni irreparabili.
- Quante sigarette pu? fumare un coniglio.
- Quanto tempo pu? rimanere digiuno un gatto.
- Fino a che punto prima di morire, una scimmia, cui sia stato occluso
l'intestino, pu? gonfiarsi con i propri escrementi.
- Quanto impiegano a sciogliersi i tessuti di conigli vivi cosparsi di
sostanze corrosive.
- Che cosa accade a un cane se gli si cuce una zampa dentro il torace?
L'industria cosmetico-farmaceutica ? in grado di rispondere a questi e ad
altri appassionanti interrogativi?
Qui di seguito troverete gli indirizzi di alcuni allevamenti di animali
destinati alla vivisezione.
Ognuno decida secondo coscienza, quale forma di protesta o boicottaggio
intraprendere.

j./sempre scettico :)

tutto ciò sia pura verità!!
E' vero tutto al 99%....
http://www.uncaged.co.uk/
Iams - the awful truth
1. Kidney failure and death inflicted on dogs
The first study referred to in the Express article tells how:
"...24 young dogs had their right kidneys removed and the left partly
damaged to investigate how protein affects dogs with kidney failure.
Eight dogs were killed to analyse the kidney tissue.
Dogs which became sick were not treated because it would have
undermined the test results."
This study was part-funded by the Iams Company and reported in White
J. V. et al, "Effect of dietary protein on functional, morphologic,
and histologic changes of the kidney during compensatory renal growth
in dogs", Am J Vet Res, Vol 52, No. 8, August 1991, pp. 1357 - 1365
(No.2 in tabulated file).
In the study, 24 young adult mixed breed dogs were given 'acute'
(meaning 'rapid onset, severe symptoms') renal [kidney] failure. This
was achieved by cutting the dogs twice in the abdomen area, removing
one of the kidneys and destroying 75% of the remaining one by cutting
off the blood supply to that proportion of the kidney. Thus the dogs
were left with only one-eighth of normal renal function.
As many guardians of companion animals know only too well, kidney
failure can cause terrible suffering. If kidneys don't function
properly, waste products end up in the blood rather than being
excreted. This blood poisoning can cause serious and fatal illness.
Dogs with kidney failure may suffer "depression, loss of appetite,
thirst and vomiting. The back may be arched, and there may be
stiffness. There is fever, and sometimes ulcers are present in the
mouth." (Black's Veterinary Dictionary: 292)
After renal failure was inflicted on the animals, 22 of them (it
doesn't say what happened to the other two, maybe they died during the
renal failure procedure?) were studied for up to 14 months as their
kidney slowly regained some lost function.
The paper states:
"Dogs that became dehydrated were administered replacement fluids...
Other supportive treatment was not administered."
Four dogs had to be put down during the experiment because of "severe
uremia" ('the presence of excessive amounts of... waste products in
the blood. ...their accumulation in the blood occurs in kidney failure
and results in nausea, vomiting, lethargy, drowsiness and eventually
death.' Oxford Medical Dictionary. Black's states that in cases of
uraemia 'death may be preceded by convulsions and unconsciousness.')
After seven months, eight dogs were killed so the condition of their
remaining quarter kidney could be examined. Seven months later the
remaining ten dogs were killed.
2. Cats cut open and killed
This is the second experiment referred to in the Express piece:
"In another experiment, the stomachs of 28 cats were exposed so
scientists could analyse the effects of feeding them fibre. The
animals were operated on for at least two hours and then killed."
This study was also part-funded by Iams and was reported in Bueno A.
R. et al, "Feline colonic microbes and fatty acid transport: effects
of feeding cellulose, beet pulp and pectin/gum arabic fibers",
Nutrition Research, Vol. 20, No. 9, pp. 1319-1328, 2000. (No.1 in
tabulated file)
The study used "twenty-eight adult female cats... All cats were
short-haired females, 2 to 5 years of age and purchased from a
government approved class-A distributor [Eds note: i.e. a vivisection
breeding establishment]". The cats were split into groups of two or
three, housed in indoor enclosures and fed differing diets for 2 to 3
weeks. One of the cats "was removed from the study for an unthrifty
appearance." ['Unthrifty' is not a term found in medical dictionaries.
Animals will be excluded from experiments if they differ from the rest
of the group in a significant way, e.g. if their state of health is
different, as this would undermine the design of the experiment. It
doesn't state whether or not the cat was killed.]
On the day of the "colonic perfusion study" the animals were
anaesthetised and "maintained at surgical anaesthesia", laid down on
their sides, and their abdomens cut open. A catheter placed into the
colon and a tube placed in the animals' rectum. Their bowels were then
flushed empty.
For two hours, a test solution was pumped through the cats' bowels and
collected every ten minutes.
This paper does not say whether the animals were killed before, during
or after the next stage of the study - the removal of parts of their
large intestine systems (caecum and colon), as this part of the study
was reported in a different paper.
Although most of the cats may not have endured severe illness and
suffering during the study, keeping animals in small indoor
environments inevitably raises concerns about their ability to fulfil
psychological needs, and the vivisection, killing and dismemberment of
the cats are destructive and murderous acts.
3. Cats made obese and then starved - liver damage observed
This is the third experiment mentioned in the Express:
"The research team sterilised 24 female cats, which were over-fed
until they become obese. They were then starved on a crash diet and
when they had lost a third of their weight their livers were examined
to investigate the link between weight loss and liver disease."
This Iams-supported study is reported in Ibrahim W. H. et al, "Effect
of dietary protein quality and fatty acid composition on plasma
lipoprotein concentrations and hepatic triglyceride fatty acid
synthesis in obese cats undergoing rapid weight loss", AJVR, Vol 61,
No. 5, May 2000, pp.566-572. (No.13 in tabulated file)
The paper states: "Twenty-four female cats between 2 to 5 years old
were purchased from a commercial dealer (Harlan Sprague Dawley,
Indianapolis, Indiana.) Cats were individually housed..." After a week
the cats were "ovariohysterectomized". They were then fed on a "high
quality energy dense diet" (Eukanuba, produced by The Iams Company)
until they became clinically obese (minimum of 30% over normal body
weight) and could not gain any more weight - this point was reached at
about eighty days. The researchers themselves note that:
"Obese cats are reported to be at greater risk for development of
certain diseases, such as osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, perineal
dermatitis (inflammation of the skin around the genitals), diabetes
mellitus, lower urinary tract disease, and cardiomyopathy (heart
disease). Mortality risk is also increased."
None of the cats are reported to have died during the study period as
a result of obesity, though their clinical condition during their
obesity was not commented upon.
Once the cats had reached obese proportions, they were placed on a
diet that only provided them with 25% of their "energy requirements
for 7 to 8 weeks, or until cats had lost 30 to 40% of their obese body
weight". This was to mimic "rapid weight loss in cats". Two of the
cats did not even manage to consume a quarter of their nutritional
needs.
The researchers themselves acknowledge:
"Safe, rapid weight loss in cats can be difficult, because cats have
special dietary requirements that appear to make them more susceptible
than other species to HL."
HL stands for hepatic lipidosis, a disease of the liver which results
in impaired liver function. The paper reports that the study caused
three cats to develop HL during the weight loss period."
The cats also had to undergo three liver biopsies during the study.
4. Severe allergic reaction provoked in husky puppies
The Express article states:
"The company also sponsored research in which 14 husky puppies were
repeatedly injected with live vaccines and allergy causing pproteins
for the first 12 weeks of their lives. They developed permanent
illnesses in the test, which was designed to see how severely allergic
they would become."
This description is based upon an Iams-funded study described in:
Olson M. E. et al., "Hypersensitivity Reactions to Dietary Antigens in
Atopic Dogs", Proceedings of 2000 Iams Nutrition Symposium, p. 69-77.
(No. 24 in tabulated file.)
This paper presents a study where 11 "Crossbred sled" new-born puppies
were repeatedly (10 times over the first 85 days of life) injected
with attenuated live virus vaccines containing Distemper, hepatitis
and parvovirus together and subcutaneous injections of the food
antigens. Another three animals were not sensitised but were subjected
to the same procedures as the other dogs.
Skin tests were performed on the animals when they were six (to see if
they had been "successfully" sensitised) and ten months of age. No
mention of even a local anaesthetic (anaesthetics are referred to
elsewhere in the paper - e.g. in describing the gastroscopic
examinations). Four concentrations of each food allergen (soy, casein
and chicken liver) were injected "intradermally". In most case the
lowest concentration caused a skin reaction. The highest concentration
that the dogs were injected with was 100,000 times stronger than the
lowest concentration (0.02 micrograms vs 2000 micrograms). Histamine
(causes inflammation) was also injected as a positive control, and
saline as a negative control. Some of the higher concentration
injections caused weals (similar to swellings caused by nettle stings
or hives) averaging over a centimetre across.
Similar sensitivity tests (gastroscopic food sensitivity) were
conducted by injecting the allergens into the stomach lining of the
puppies. These were performed under anaesthetic. Once again, the
higher concentrations caused marked allergic reactions: moderate to
severe inflammation characterised by fluid filled swelling and redness
caused by expansion of blood capillaries (erythema & oedema).
The results of these skin and stomach tests were reflected in the
health of the allergic puppies when they were placed on allergic diets
for a month. All eleven puppies:
"developed moderate to severe diarrhea and lost weight (data not
shown). Furthermore 8 of the 11 sensitized dogs demonstrated
dermatological reactions that included hair loss and pruritis
[itching, similar to that found in eczema]... Clinical signs developed
within the first week of feeding the sensitising diet and persisted as
long as the diet was provided... Moderate to severe pruritis, with and
without lesions, was also observed in sensitised dogs receiving diets
containing the allergens."
5. Skin wounds inflicted on 36 dogs and puppies
The final experiment mentioned in the Express describes how:
"Twelve huskies, 12 poodles and 12 labradors were regularly given
chest wounds to see if diet could affect fur regrowth. This was
justified in the study on the grounds that 'dogs are enjoyable to
touch and look at. Dogs with coat problems are simply not handled as
much.'"
This Iams-supported study is reported in Credille K. M. et al, "The
Role of Nutrition on the Canine Hair Follicle: A Preliminary Report",
Proceedings of the 2000 Iams Nutrition Symposium. (No.23 in tabulated
file)
The study involving repeated skin biopsies from 36 puppies and older
dogs (12 Siberian Huskies, 12 Minature Poodles, 12 Labrador
Retrievers). Each of the dogs had two 6mm sections of their skin
removed under local anaesthetic every three weeks for 18 weeks. One
would imagine this would cause soreness and discomfort to the dogs
afterwards, each of which would end up with 12 wounds on their bodies
after the 18 week study.
The researchers report that:
"Overall, there was little to distinguish the dogs fed the high- and
low-quality diets;"
6. Finally... SmithKline Beecham helps supply dogs for Iams
vivisection
In an Iams-funded lethal experiment on 15 healthy beagles which was
reported in 1996 and was similar to the second experiment described
above, the authors of the report "express their thanks to SmithKline
Beecham Animal Health Laboratory... for their support in development
and use of the research animals." (Hallman J. E. et al, "Colonic
mucosal tissue energetics and electrolyte transport in dogs fed
cellulose, beet pulp or pectin/gum arabic as their primary fiber
source", Nutrition Research, Vol. 16, No. 2, pp. 303-313, 1996 (No. 9
in tabulated file).) SmithKline Beecham is now known as Glaxo
SmithKline. It is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies
and has a direct influence on UK Government policy, including animal
experimentation policy, for which it has lobbied for a relaxation of
regulations.
Uncaged comment
Dan Lyons, director of Uncaged Campaigns, comments: 
"No reasonable person can ever accept the conduct of painful and
lethal experiments on one animal in the distant hope that some
information might emerge that might be useful for another animal.
After all this is similar what the Nazi's did - experiment on some
humans supposedly to try to benefit other humans. I look after a
wonderful cat, Zorro, and I'm deeply concerned for his welfare - but I
could never, ever think it right to perform painful and deadly
experiments on another cat even if I thought it would benefit Zorro.
It's nasty, violent and unfair.
There's nothing wrong with trying to find out how to improve diets for
animals, but the right way to do that is to observe the same
guidelines that exist for medical research involving children. Samples
and readings can be taken during veterinary or medical treatments that
are conducted for the benefit of those individuals. Post mortem
studies can be carried out if tragedies occur and children or animals
die. Other non-invasive and harmless observations can be made. But it
is deeply hypocritical and unethical of Iams to buy animals bred
specifically to be vivisected, and then inflict suffering and death on
them. 
If Iams were genuinely concerned about animal welfare they would not
be actively damaging and slaughtering innocent animals. We call on
them to stop vivisection immediately and adopt cruelty-free research
methods."
Uncaged Campaigns took on Iams at two national cat shows in November
and December 2001. For the full story click here.

bastano ancora gli esperimenti illustrati sul libro di fisiologia
animale. cmq posso assicurare che molti studi in universita' e
strutture pubbliche implicano la sofferenza estrema degli animali
coinvolti. poi nelle ricerche fatte da aziende farmaceutiche e
cosmetiche private si arriva veramente a cose aberranti.
poi inevitabilmente in queste cose si mischiano verita' e leggende
metropolitane. sbirciando nel post alcune barbarie descritte sono
inverosimili ed anche inutili ai fini della ricerca.

che, pero', non sono esattamente 'lo stesso campo da gioco'.
