He continues about how this dog was not sold to a normal loving owner. Goodman say's, "instead, the shelter sold Sheena [the dog] to a laboratory where other homeless dogs have had holes cut into them to place pacemakers onto their heart in order to induce irregular heartbeats. The dogs were then killed and dissected." There are minimal rules to these tests. No experiment, no matter how brutal or painful, is prohibited, and on top of all of it, no pain killers are required.
The reason these despicable acts are allowed is because the different services set up to deal with things such as this, do nothing about it. Both Goodman and Goldace acknowledge the fact that, "95 percent of animals used in experiments are not protected by even the minimal protections of the Animal Welfare Act." Corporations that say they are handling the problems do very minimal and have little power. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has only provided 120 inspectors to patrol and oversee more than 12,000 facilities. These inspectors are not properly inspecting these "slaughter houses" and even when violations are discovered, most inspectors aren't empowered to do anything consequential about this abuse. What results of this lack of power, is labs being approved and passing inspections, when there is a clear disregard of laws.
In the political cartoon nicknamed "Human Testing," artist unknown, we see a picture of two dogs in lab coats. They are each holding needles and syringes, while standing in front of two caged test subjects. These two sad looking lab 'animals' are not what you would expect. As the audience given title notes, these subjects are two humans. As you continue to analyze the picture you see the first dog's face. This dog portrays an expression of sadness and hurt for the human. The second dog sees this, and to ease the mind of the first dog, it says, "Don't worry.
