Speak Out Against Animal Suffering at Indian Lab

A recent investigation has exposed appalling animal care at an Indian government laboratory in New Delhi. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has been confining 68 monkeys, 90 rabbits, several sheep and ever-multiplying numbers of guinea pigs and rats – most believed to be sick and dying – in small cages at its central animal facility.

According to news reports, rats and monkeys, some of whom have been kept captive for over 20 years, are driven insane by laboratory conditions. They are kept in small cages and live in constant fear of employees' rough handling. Fifty of the 90 rabbits are suffering from an infectious skin disease, and several rabbits and a few guinea pigs have gone blind.
