We Are Continuing Activities In Order To Stop Animal Testing
Established in 1986, the Japan Anti-Vivisection Association (JAVA) is a nation-wide citizen group dedicated to protecting animals and our mission to stop all animal testing.
This dog’s leg has been shattered by repeated blows from a hammer.The experiment was performed in order to induce a state of psychological stress, and therefore the wound was left undressed. No anaesthetic would be given during the course of the experiment.
