Ask college officials to stop brutal experiments on cats now!

These disturbing pictures depict a biology class at the Colégio Luterano Concórdia in the municipality of Canos, Brazil. The photos were posted on social media and instantly went viral; they were denounced by countless outraged netizens.

The photos show the students performing brutal tests on innocent cats and seemingly enjoying themselves. The origin of these cats currently remains unknown. It was also revealed that this biology class was an optional course for third year high school students.

According to current laws in Brazil, the use of animals in experiments is only limited to Higher Education facilities.

A concerned mother came forward and stated that her child had told her biology lessons were extremely pleasant as of late, without getting into the details that innocent cats were used for testing.

Two local animal welfare associations have already filed a complaint to the local authorities. Police will be investigating whether cruelty to animals actually occurred in the biology laboritories and if this institution is licensed to practice such kind of experiments.

In a public statement, the institution states that it does not perform experiments or demonstrations with live animals in any sort of activities and has a strict no-vivisection policy, practices which are contray to the moral and Christian values, which constitute the Pillars of Lutheran education.

We, the undersigned, are appalled and outraged by what the students from Colégio Luterano Concórdia are being taught and demand that the biology laboratory is shut down as soon as possible. In addition, we ask the Ministry of Education from Brazil to consider reviewing the law and ban the use of animals for experiments from all educational institutions in the country. In these modern times, there are plenty of alternatives for teaching students, methods that do not involve testing on innocent animals.

Brazil has recently approved a ban on animal testing for cosmetic purposes. We sincerely hope a ban on cruel animal experiments in all educational facilities will also be approved.

Let us make our voices heard and make animal experiments a thing of the past in all Brazilian institutions!
