Wayne State University located in Detroit, Michigan likes to slowly torture to death a shelter dog instead of spending the money to pay for a mechanical simulator in research which has been proven to be more highly reliable, accurate, and informative than a live dog.

We demand Wayne State University to elevate their standards of practice. We demand Wayne State University provide an atmosphere of human compassion whereby physicians from said institution have both education and compassion. We demand respect for life and to stop Wayne State University from their primitive, barbaric, horrendous, and hidden in darkness practices of animal cruelty. What type of physician from that atmosphere is produced?

We demand the torture and killing at Wayne State University to be stopped immediately by whatever legal means against Wayne State University are available. We demand that Wayne State University cease from their lying, deceit, and misrepresentation in performing their tortures away from public scrutiny. We demand Wayne State University elevate their standards for the advancement of the level of research Wayne State University to benefit patient care and for the Queenie’s of today being currently tortured and killed.

Queenie’s Story from Home to Laboratory:

June 15, 2009: Queenie was surrendered to Gratiot County Animal Shelter.

June 25, 2009: Queenie was transferred to R & R Research, a Class 8 random source dog dealer.

Sept. 16, 2009: R & R Research sold Queenie to Wayne State.

Sept. 23, 2009: Laboratory personnel began forcing Queenie to run on a treadmill. They noted that she was "distressed"

Sept.24- Dec. 1, 2009: Queenie remained "spooky" during her treadmill training, according to laboratory personnel, even jumping off the treadmill when an experimenter entered the room.

Dec. 1, 2009: Queenie had left thoracotomy-a major surgery in which experimenters cut open her chest to implant devices in her heart. After the surgery, her face and paws were swollen, she was "whining [and] vocalizing” and she vomited immediately after being placed in her cage.

Dec. 8, 2009: Queenie was forced to get back on the treadmill with cables hanging out of her body, while still leaking fluids from the surgery.

Dec. 15, 2009: Queenie underwent another procedure. This time, experimenters cut into her neck and leg to place more catheters in her arteries and veins.

Dec. 16, 2009: Queenie was found lying on the floor and reluctant to get up out of [her] cage "whining when laboratory technicians tried to force her out. Queenie's incisions constantly seeped large amounts of fluids. Sores developed on her paws and right hip.

Dec. 2009--Feb. 2010: Queenie was forced to run on the treadmill once or twice per day for 35 to 45 sessions.

March 2010: Hypertension was induced in Queenie by reducing the flow of blood to her kidneys.

April 5, 2010: A laboratory technician noted that Queenie was acting very timid-like she can't get [up] shakes while getting up(back legs),  won't get up for me. That same day, she underwent treadmill experiments again.

April 7, 2010: Queenie's leg got caught in the treadmill land she stumbled. For the next two weeks. Queenie was tiptoeing and limping, but she was still forced to run.
