Scene Descriptions:

Scene #1: The Iams dogs in this scene have just had large chunks of muscle cut from their thighs and have been placed on the laboratory floor to recover from the effects of the anesthetics. Some of the dogs are unconscious, while others are awake and trying to right themselves. The federal Animal Welfare Act requires that this type of surgery be conducted in “aseptic” conditions.

Scene #2: This scene provides a closeup of the Iams dogs and their wound sites.

Scene #3: A bloodied beagle is strapped down to an x-ray machine so that her muscle, fat, and bone density can be recorded.

Scene #4: One of the laboratory’s employees tells our investigator to hit the dogs on the chest if they stop breathing.

Scene #5: The Iams dog on the x-ray machine is placed back in the pile of dogs on the floor.

Scene #6: Anesthetics are administered to an Iams dog left unattended on the laboratory floor.

Scene #7: Iams dogs, some awake and some unconscious, lie on the paint-chipped laboratory floor.

Scene #8: A laboratory worker holding a dead Iams dog in a black plastic bag tells our investigator that the dog “bled out its mouth.” The dog, who was found dead in his cage, was subjected to a muscle biopsy earlier in the week.

Scene #9: Iams dog Mae-Mae exhibits stereotypical behavior (i.e., pacing and circling) associated with life in a cage.
