Sir Paul McCartney has criticised a university using dogs to treat people living with a debilitating illness.
The iconic singer shared his disgust on a video shared by PETA which shows canines at Texas A&M University (TAMU) in distress as the undergo invasive experiments for muscular dystrophy research.
McCartney wrote in a letter addressed to TAMU President Michael K. Young: “The video footage of golden retrievers in your university’s dog laboratory is heartbreaking,
“I have had dogs since I was a boy and loved them all dearly, including Martha, who was my companion for about 15 years and about whom I wrote the song ‘Martha My Dear’.”
“Please do the right thing by ending the suffering of dogs in TAMU’s muscular dystrophy laboratory and switching to modern research methods instead.”
