Vets’ secret trade in dog body organs uncovered in Britain
Clinic makes money from putting down healthy animals.

by Daniel Foggo

A clinic is killing healthy dogs and secretly selling their body parts to Britain’s most prestigious veterinary college for research, an investigation has found.

The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has a financial agreement with a vet’s practice which provides the organs from dogs on a regular basis. An undercover reporter posing as an owner found that staff at the Greyhound Clinic in Essex agreed to kill greyhounds for $60.00 each even though he told them the dogs had “nothing wrong with them”.

The practice has “horrified” the RSPCA and animal welfare activists.

It just seems to never end. I hope he goes to jail for ever.
