HLS came under intense fire from shocked viewers...
...medication - appeared to be healthy, frisky and well looked after. But at the end of any testing period, all the animals involved will be killed and forensic examinations will be conducted on them. "We do get some tears at the end of a study," according to Fred, an animal technician who did not want his real name used. "It's no different than working with terminally ill patients." Because of client confidentiality, HLS declined to elaborate on exactly what was being tested on the puppies, but acknowledged that the majority of substances tested on dogs were pharmaceuticals, veterinary medicines, flea...
