The fact that it took an investigative journalism piece to end something that had been happening secretly for decades says a lot about how these practices get shielded from public scrutiny. The point from Professor Dodman that dogs don't even experience heart attacks the way humans do makes the justification even harder to defend. Came across a piece over at https://direwolfseo.co.uk/ on accountability journalism exposing hidden institutional practices which felt very relevant here. Good on the IJB for pushing this into the open.
