Fw: Help Stop Cruel Pig Labs

[Guest guest]

Hi friends,

I know that this event has already happened and many animals were cruelly

treated and killed.  But I think it might be worth it to email this company and

let them know how disgusted you are with their practices.. It sounds like they

do this regularly at surgical clinics to sell their products.  

Thanks,

Doris

Help Stop Cruel Pig Lab Scheduled for August 7

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Dr. Sarni,

On August 7, pigs will be killed in a “Hands-On Pig Lab” to demonstrate

electrosurgical tools. Covidien Electrosurgery is hosting this lab in

coordination with a conference held by the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists.

You Can Help

Covidien Electrosurgery performs laboratory tests on animals in order to market

its surgical tools. Please contact Covidien Electosurgery, the lab’s organizers,

and urge them to remove live animals from this demonstration.

Formerly known as ValleyLab, Covidien has a history of controversy, including an

incident that prompted the University of Colorado at Denver to ban all

non-research animal experimentation in 2007.

The August 7 event advertises, “Procedures that will be performed include:

ureteral dissection, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy, repair of simulated

bowel and bladder injury, bowel resection, ureteral re-anastomosis, and liver

resection.” In other words, pigs will be used and killed so Covidien can sell

its products.

Please take action today. Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
