Dr Oz refuses to comment on report his research killed more than 300 dogs

Fetterman has called Oz a 'puppy killer' and Oz refuses to defend his record...hmmm wonder why?

Dr Mehmet Oz, a Donald Trump-endorsed candidate running for an open Senate seat in Pennsylvania, is facing resurfaced allegations that he was a "principal investigator" on experiments that resulted in the deaths of more than 300 dogs, including an entire litter of puppies. And, perplexingly, he doesn’t seem to want to refute these allegations or comment on them in any way.

Earlier this week, Jezebel reviewed 75 studies published in academic journals involving Dr Oz's teams at Columbia University and found Dr Oz's team had conducted experiments on at least 1,027 live animals. Of these experiments, 34 resulted in the deaths of at least 329 dogs, two killed 31 pigs, and 38 killed 661 rabbits and rodents.

While it is both legal and not uncommon for animals to be used in scientific experimentation, there are guidelines for their treatment laid out in the Animal Welfare Act. Under the AWA, minimum standards are established for the treatment of lab animals, requiring researchers and breeders to employ pain-relief drugs or euthanasia on the animals during experimentation. It also prohibits the use of paralytics without anesthesia and researchers from experimenting on the same animal multiple times.

and it made me ill to see those innocent, defenseless beings being treated with such defenseless cruelty. I do hope this blows up in his face.


S.Korea to grant legal status to animals to tackle abuse

Korea is one of a handful of countries to recognise animals as beings, with a right to protection, enhanced welfare and respect for life.

the last two days. Last night, Chris Hayes talked about it while being careful to say it has not been independently verified by NBC.

This story is only going to get bigger and break into national and local media and news as it circulates around social media.

He is a horrible man...grifted desperate people with fake 'cures' and I was not surprised that he turned out to a Cruel man as well.

He just doesn't make sense to me. He had a really good thing going. Abd he's pushing way too hard. I really wonder if he is an enemy agent.

There's something really wrong going on with him.
