SAMPLE LETTER

(copy from here)

 

 

 

By means of this I want to demonstrate my protest and repudiation about

the experimental practices that happens in the Operatory Technic course

of the FURB Medicine, in Blumenau/Santa Catarina, under the

responsability of the Prof. Romualdo Izon Heil. Anonymous delations

indicates to unsuitable and cruel conduct for the experiments, where 150

healthy dogs are submitted annually to invasive experiments, they are

uphold alive after the surgery with dipirona (managed by the students)

and are re-utilized in later experiments. These procedure submits the

animal in a high intensity of suffering and stress, besides they do not

have veterinarian retinues - that is necessary by the Resolution 714

from the Federal Council of Veterinary Medicin (CFMV). In addition to

this, the Resolutioin from the CFMV summoned right above has in its 7º

article: " The procedures of euthanasia, if engaged baddly, are subjected

to the federal legislation of environmental crimes " .

 

The environmental crimes' law (9605/98) defines exactly in it's 32th

article: " Commit the act of abuse, maltreated, hurt or mutilate savage,

domestic or domesticated, native or exotic animals. §1st - Incur the

same punishment those who realize painful or cruel experiments when the

animal is alive, still for didatic or scientific purposes, while

existing alternative recourses " .

 

In the United States, 107 of the 127 medicine colleges, do not utilizes

animals in their curriculum, including the renowned colleges of Harvard,

Yale, Tufts and Washington. A recently study in the U.S. showed that 25%

of the medicine students are against the " laboratory dog " and that

the

number of students unsatisfied about the use of animals incline to be

higher than the number of students that express their feelings, afraid

of persecution and reprisals. The American Medical Student Association

(AMSA) sent two resolutions demanding for Universities to provide some

alternatives for the " laboratory animals " for the students with

" moral

or pedagogic " objections and condemning " the power of announcements

in

the medicine students, forcing them to participate of the practice

classes that uses alive animals " . And on England, almost none medicine

college make use of alive animals for the study of sirurgical classes

since 1876.

 

The students have the right of _expression when they are obliged to do

something that violate their principles. A part of being a good doctor

is living under the principles that motivated a person to wok on the

health area and under those who come under an ethic content, like this,

" do not provoke suffering " from Hipocrates. Every student is

qualified

to decide what is right and what is wrong, in agreement with it's

personal moral principles. Students might be able to question and object

some part of the program that is unnecessary, outdated and/or that

violate its ethic.

 

The study of alternatives to these inhuman and outdated practices should

be stimulated inside this respectful institution, in order to guarantee

a better quality study for the student, and avoid the suffering and the

extermination of animals in cruel practices. Some sites can offer great

help in this debate and plenty of useful informations about alternatives:

It will be a question of time until these practices turn into

something

that the human race will be shamed for commiting it.

 

Yours truly,
