Tuskegee Vet School persists in using live animals picked up from animal "shelters" like the Russell County-Phenix City Animal Shelter to perform terminal surgeries, where vet students are allowed to practice various surgeries on them and then kill them. Tuskegee turns a blind eye to the more progressive vet schools which have moved to other ways for their practice surgery training. The taxpayer funded pounds that Tuskegee obtains their victims from try to hide the relationship because they know it is shameful. Young, healthy, adoptable animals are given to Tuskegee by the hundreds every year. They admit to having a "contract" with the city/county but refuse to reveal the details. Inside information from concerned individuals say the dogs are kept in poor conditions, no socialization or enrichment, fed only 1 cup of food per day, regardless of size (because they don't live long enough to starve to death), and given no medical care for any injuries they may arrive with or develop while being held. These helpless dogs, family pets, are already terror stricken from their time at the pound, then hauled to Tuskegee in their dog trailer and stuffed into cages where the smells and sounds of death surround them. Then they are cut on and killed. Tuskegee refuses to give up to willing adopters the last batch of dogs they took from Phenix City's pound, which included a lovely 6 month old pup. Tuskegee also refuses to take action against a vet student who has been identified by law enforcement with ample proof as having taken 19 horses (the latest total and climbing) in a scam where she says they were to be a companion for her barrel horse, but instead she and her boyfriend took them to slaughter sales. Tuskegee is ruining their reputation, whatever it may be, with their "see no evil" attitude. The world is watching you Tuskegee. Social media is...
Read moreTuskegee vet school is one of the few in the country that still practices terminal surgeries for vet students to practice on adoptable shelter pets. The animals are intentionally and barbarically injured, infected, etc. in order to give students "live practice" to then operate on the intentionally caused broken bones, etc. The pets are then awakened, and the procedures are started over again. So the unnecessary torture of the animals goes on until they are ultimately euthanized and discarded, and more are brought in from local shelters to begin again. This practice has been abandoned by the best schools in the country due to the barbarism and the lack of necessity. Students can be given real teaching opportunities in clinics where already injured animals are saved rather than resorting to this kind of abhorrence to teach, but year after year Tuskegee chooses to keep this monstrous practice going. It won't stop until their school is affected by the negative backlash of people who stand up for the voiceless and hopeless. Please join together and let this school know that this kind of abomination is...
Read moreOne of the most beautiful historically black college campuses i've ever seen. Red bricked buildings adorned the campus.. it has that preserved look. The history that comes with its beauty is what I truly loved.
You can visit the George Washington Carver Museum, tour the home Booker T. Washington built and visit the burial site of him and his family along with other historic burial sites..all of which are located in the heart of campus. I recommend you see everything!
The university was oddly very quiet. Which left us to assume that the students were in their dorms feverishly studying.
Make sure to visit the Tuskegee Airmen National Museum on your way into campus (crawford st.) it's simply amazing to see and read about the young airmen. Emotional to...
