Humane Research Must Replace All Barbaric Experiments!
posted on January 14, 2020
For over a decade Lifeforce has been saying that it is time to end barbaric, inhumane research methods such as shooting cetaceans with cross bows and all the numerous other sufferings they endure! Dart trackers has killed at least one endangered orca in 2016 and injured many other cetaceans! The continuous experiments on them have not saved them! This continues in spite of available existing and new technologies!
Humane, safer research methods include using orbiting satellites to study populations and travel patterns, hydrophones systems to study dialects and travel patterns, drones with Petri dishes to collect cells, hormones and organisms to study the health of whales and dolphins. Extremely close “research vessel” approaches; dart trackers; biopsy darts; etc. are not necessary!
It has been said that once researchers get some animals they are on the Government gravy train for life asking endless hypothetical questions. This Research Ivory Tower is mainly an in house, peer review system. Cosmetic Testing and other experiments on animals are being phased out. The lucrative research industry’s outdated biases and control over wildlife experiments must end too! Or the Southern Resident Orcas and others may not survive!
In 2020, hopefully it will be out with the old ways and in with the new ways! Then it will be a Happy New Year for Whales and Dolphins!
