PETA Pressure Ends Texas A&M Dog Breeding for Muscular Dystrophy Experiments

Following intense pressure from PETA, 500 physicians, many scientists, a number of celebrities, and hundreds of thousands of activists, the canine muscular dystrophy (MD) laboratory at Texas A&M University (TAMU) has stopped breeding dogs to develop the crippling disease in its useless effort to find a cure for humans with MD. So there will be no more puppies born into imprisonment at TAMU and doomed to die shortly after birth or spend a lifetime suffering from the painful, debilitating symptoms of the illness.

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
