Wayne State approved plans to use up to 44 more dogs before lead researcher’s death
Newly obtained records show Wayne State approved plans to use up to 44 more dogs in cardiovascular research before the lead scientist’s death. The university says no dogs are currently being used in experiments, but questions remain about the program’s future. Wayne State University approved plans to use up to 44 additional dogs in cardiovascular research, according to records obtained by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The future of the experiments remains uncertain following the death of the lead researcher, a longtime Wayne State professor, who died in September at age 68. The university confirmed that it currently has no dogs on campus and is not conducting research involving canines. The records also revealed that five dogs were euthanized during previous experiments due to acute or systemic infections or the development of unknown masses. The research has faced criticism from animal welfare advocates who argue that the experiments are unnecessary and should be pursued by human-based alternatives.
