An Evening With Moshe Solomonow and Friends

We’ve talked about Moshe Solomonow a bit before. He was a candidate for Vivisector of the Week a few weeks ago (he lost, in a last-second upset, to a deceased monkey butcher named Thomas Langfitt), and his other accomplishments include performing invasive back surgery on cats without, apparently, using proper anaesthetics … for the past fifteen years. Well, if you’ve checked out the main feature on the PETA website in the past couple of days, you’ll know that the latest on Moshe and his pals at the UC Denver and Health Sciences Center is an entire litany of complaints from a whistleblower about shoddy animal welfare practices, neglect, and outright cruelty in their labs. Here are some of the things these folks have allegedly been up to over the past few years:

Failing to provide veterinary care or euthanasia in emergencies
Failing to properly train animal care employees
Improperly reviewing experimental procedures
Skimping on anaesthesia during painful surgeries
Leaving a monkey with a prolapsed colon to suffer for hours
Killing a conscious rabbit with a heart puncture

And the list goes on—to the tune of a 30-page complaint that we just submitted to the NIH, gently suggesting that they have a look into the way these people are spending their money.

Rabbit with skin lesions

If you’d like to write to University of Colorado’s president about his labs, you can do so through the form on this page. We’re asking them to dismiss their Animal Care and Use Committee (these folks were supposed to be checking up to make sure there weren’t any violations in the animal labs—I guess they spent their time playing minesweeper instead, or maybe keeping up with Us Weekly), and to ban ol’ Moshe from ever using animals in research again.

Although PETA revealed Moshe Solomonow's cruel experiments on cats in 2007. Moshe Solomonow and his pals continue their unnecessary research like before. Quoting from his newest article on Clinical biomechanics 200924107928. "...The lumbar spine of anaesthetized cats was subjected to cyclic flexion loading at high magnitudes for six periods of 10 min each with 10 min rest in between followed by 7h rest..." These brutal behavior must be ceased and be sustainedly concerned by whom care animal welfare.

It is always easy to judge people from afar. It is easy to read an article about an "apparent" problem and wish hell and every other ill will on someone. Instead of prejudging a man who you really don't know anything about do your research and find something more productive to do with your time. The research this University does is to find ways to pinpoint causes and find relief for back pain that millions of Americans suffer from. If there were another way to do this research I am sure it would be utilized. What would you recommend? That we perhaps experiment on people instead. Would you people like to volunteer for getting this research done on you to save your cat?

theres a reason some people dont want to take mammalogy at my college the killing of animals for skinning in mammal collections which is something you must have for credit and is ofcourse apalling and old school and useless to learning when all you learn is how to kill procedures for killing the animals ive heard involved whatever the student sees fit some use traps for small rodents or acetate injection to the heart hanging and electrocution ive heard rumoured there are no formal measures for killing the animals humanely. but how do you do anything about it? or learn more?

Hi Ana Speaking of the "cut and paste" if that were actual materials I would have gone through several pairs of scissors and quarts of glue on here already! And I'm wondering why certain letters of the alphabet on my keyboard don't have to be replaced yet "This is an ANIMAL RIGHTS' blog site." perhaps Jack can have a permanent moving banner going across the screen which reads that Anyway ALL of these vivesectors have me totally and seriously convinced that there is a subhuman species in existence. And they would have to look UP to the animals to learn how to be decent living beings. Judith Freedom Fighter Thanks for the info about Judy Giuliani. I'm apolitical so Rudy wouldn't have gotten my vote anyway but I appreciate the info about that barbarian Judy disgusing! who made a big deal in the press that she doesn't like to be called "Judy." oh such a horrendous name to be called! But what she did to that pup is supposed to be ok according to her. Well here's to JUDY JUDY JUDY! May she be SO upset about being called "Judy" that she won't be able to function to torture animals!
