A distressing undercover video has revealed test animals being force-fed drugs inside a laboratory.
Animal rights group Humane Society of the United States has spent seven months investigating the Inotiv Inc’s testing lab in Mount Vernon, Indiana of US.
Workers were assigned to work on more than 70 toxicity studies, commissioned by more than 12 pharmaceutical companies, with more than 6,000 animals including beagle puppies and monkeys.
The bodyworn footage shows workers putting a feeding tube down a puppy’s mouth and feeding it drugs before they release it back to the kennel for observation.
The poor canine whimpers and shakes before it collapses on the floor.
