  • Undercover Video Raises Questions About Treatment of Animals in Baie D’Urfé Laboratory
    Source: http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/undercover-video-raises-questions- about-treatment-of-animals-in-baie-durfe-laboratory Undercover video raises questions about treatment of animals in Baie D’Urfé laboratory KATHERINE WILTON, MONTREAL GAZETTE More from Katherine Wilton, Montreal Gazette Published on: March 12, 2017 | Last Updated: March 12, 2017 7:03 PM EDT The Canada Council on Animal Care says about 3.5 million animals are used every year to conduct tests on experimental drugs, cosmetics and some household products. A U.S. animal rights organization wants the Quebec government to investigate allegations of animal cruelty at a research lab in Baie D’Urfé. A group called Last Chance for Animals conducted an undercover investigation at International Toxicology Research Laboratories Canada in 2016 and says it discovered several cases of animal abuse. The Los Angeles-based group has released a disturbing video it says shows the mistreatment of pigs, monkeys and dogs at the ITR facility, a company that uses animals to test the toxicity of several products. “The most egregious thing is the hitting, slapping and holding dogs up by their ears and throwing them into their cages,” said Adam Wilson, the director of investigations for Last Chance for Animals. Wilson said technicians were observed swinging dogs by catheters that run down their spine and into their abdomen. “It’s abusive and is not permitted in a lab setting,” he said. A member of the animal rights group secretly recorded the video after being hired as a technician by the West Island firm. The video also shows upsetting images of animals being restrained and confined while undergoing various tests.

  • Canadian Broadcast Standards Council Quebec Regional Panel
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL QUEBEC REGIONAL PANEL CKAC-AM re an episode of Doc Mailloux (CBSC Decision 03/04-0453) Decided February 10, 2005 G. Bachand (Chair), T. Rajan (Vice Chair), R. Cohen (ad hoc), B. Guérin, G. Moisan, M.-A. Murat THE FACTS CKAC (Montreal) broadcasts the open-line public affairs program Doc Mailloux weekdays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Its host, psychiatrist Doctor Pierre Mailloux, and his co-host, Janine Ross, discuss the issues of the day and take calls from listeners. The challenged episode was broadcast on December 2, 2003 and the principal subject of the day was immigration. Within the course of the discussion, Dr. Pierre Mailloux voiced his opinion on certain related issues which included the following (a fuller transcript of the episode can be found in Appendix A, available in French only): [Translation] Robert: Those people, when they immigrated here to Canada, personally I would be astounded to see an addendum to their immigration application saying, to our way of thinking and doing, that their purpose is to go to school armed with a knife because it’s their religion. They never asked for that when they asked to immigrate here. The man who joined the RCMP, when he requested his application to be an RCMP police officer, Madam, you will agree with me that he never asked, far less ever said, I’m warning you that if I’m a police officer that doesn’t paint a turban on my head. Janine: No Robert. Robert, the only point I was attempting to make is that when the little boy who wore a turban in Denise’s school … when the parents learned of it, he came to school the next day without a turban.

    animals Review Forensic Use of the Five Domains Model for Assessing Suffering in Cases of Animal Cruelty Rebecca A. Ledger 1,* and David J. Mellor 2 1 Animal Welfare and Behaviour Consulting, P.O. Box 72012, Sasamat RPO, Vancouver, BC V6R 4P2, Canada 2 Animal Welfare Science and Bioethics Centre, School of Veterinary Science, Massey University, Palmerston North 4474, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 May 2018; Accepted: 18 June 2018; Published: 25 June 2018 Simple Summary: Courts hearing cases about alleged ill-treatment of animals frequently utilise expert opinions which evaluate the nature and seriousness of reported negative welfare impacts. For several decades the Courts have required statements about such impacts to be supported mainly by physical and/or clinical evidence, usually regarding commentary about animals’ subjective experiences as being scientifically unsupported anthropomorphic speculation. This approach is well aligned with a view of animal welfare developed in the 1980s which emphasised scientifically validated features of “biological functioning” and, at an extreme, rejected any reference to subjective experiences that animals might have. However, subjective experiences, which include emotions, feelings, moods, and motivations, technically known as affects or affective states, became an increasing focus for animal behaviour scientists from the 1990s. This is now known as the “affective state” conceptual framework and it has been strengthened during the last two decades by integrating the findings of animal behaviour scientists and neuroscientists who explored brain processes that generate affective experiences. This provided cogent scientific support both for the existence of specific affects and the use of animals’ behaviour and some physiological responses to identify them.
