Dog Farm Provides Animals for Ontario Lab Surgeries Conducted Without Anesthesia Severed Vocal Cords in Dogs

Despite ongoing investigations and reports of abusive practices, including mutilation, Nucro-Technics continued to source dogs from Ridglan, prompting a review by the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC).

Animal rights advocates argue that acquiring animals from such a supplier should be prohibited.
