Nine Dogs Killed During Johns Hopkins University Animal
Testing

Nine dogs have been euthanized as part of a study a John Hopkins
University
A total of 19 animals were experimented on at the Balitmore school between
2017 and 2018, ten of which survived. According to Hopkins spokeswoman Kim
Hoppe, the remaining animals were adopted at the end of the trial.
The study, which was hoping to examine the effects of spinal cord
stimulation on gastrointestinal disorders, was terminated early — something
which, according to a letter written by activism group Stop Animal
Exploitation Now (SAEN), rarely happens in federally funded medical
research.
John Hopkins University uses many species of animals in its research
facilities, including dogs, rabbits, rats, mice, and marmoset monkeys. The
university also made headlines earlier this year after the accidental death
of a marmoset monkey — the result of a technician closing a door on the
animal’s neck.
Animal Testing
According to the USDA, over 800,000 animals were used in US testing
facilities in 2017. However, this number does not include mice or rats,
which are the animals most commonly used in laboratory settings.
Many groups advocate against the use of animals in research, SAEN and PETA
inclusive.
Alternatives to animal testing are numerous and have been proven to be
accurate and efficient, which many argue negates the need to harm animals in
experiments.
