There’s No Excuse for Torturing Live

AnimalsDisturbing video footage that was

obtained during an investigation at the Refik Saydam Hygiene

Center (RSHC) in Turkey shows conscious horses—with their

legs tightly bound to their bodies—as their necks are

slashed. The barbaric blood-collection procedure obtains horse

serum for the government as a cheap but dangerous substitute for

human serum in medical products. It’s extremely important

for RSHC to know that there is no excuse for torturing live

animals. Tell RSHC to stop the cruelty

today.
