PETA
demands that St. Kitts veterinary university be suspended
Date Posted: Monday, March 17, 2008
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent an
urgent letter to the American Veterinary Medical
Association's Centre for Veterinary Education Accreditation
requesting the suspension of accreditation process for Ross
University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts.
This comes after allegations that cruel teaching procedures
are being performed on animals at the school.
Ross University is owned by Chicago-based DeVry,
Incorporated.
PETA's request comes after the group received complaints and
photographs from students documenting the mutilation of
animals who are subjected to multiple surgeries before they
are killed and dissected.
Students who object to the procedures are reportedly
threatened with a failing grade if they do not participate.
