Pamela Anderson slams monkey testing

February 20, 2011 | Comments 0

After watching a video footage that exposes animals being kept in horrific conditions at the Delhi based, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Baywatch queen and PETA activist, Pamela Anderson has demanded the country’s prestigious research center to free old aged monkeys that have been kept in cages for decades for testing.

On behalf of PETA, the actress raised an issue for the stiff conditions that the animals have been dealing with at the premier health institute. She voiced her concern by shooting a letter to them for subjecting aging monkeys to unnecessary suffering and asked them to pin on modern humane methods.

Angered by the cruelty against animals, Hollywood’s favorite ‘Baywatch’ star has fired off a one page angry letter to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences’ Director, RC Deka.

“It broke my heart to see the suffering that is documented in the enclosed video. The animals suffering behind closed doors at AIIMS must endure this nightmare every day.

“I was shocked to see that rabbits are forced to live in wire-floored cages; the sharp wire digs into their sensitive footpads and can cause their feet to get stuck,” wrote the actress.

In her letter, she also pointed out that rabbits are rotting with skin diseases and rats wounded without proper veterinary care at the health facility, and some of the animals were also going through a lot of pain with infectious diseases.

Pamela also stated that while watching the footage, she saw the animals crying after workers tried thumping them to the wired cages.

“A monkey is shown climbing the walls and ceiling of the cage in an endless loop, and a rat is shown spinning compulsively. Sick and injured animals, including rabbits, suffering from an infectious skin disease, and rats with wounds, are denied veterinary care.

“A worker roughly overturns the rat enclosures in order to clean them, slamming the animals inside, including a mother rat desperately trying to protect her newborn babies, against the wire bars,” wrote the Playboy model.
They even added that their animals are kept in good living conditions and claimed that the animals suffering from diseases are absolutely false.
