Dr. Oz Accused of Killing Hundreds of Dogs, Puppies, Bunnies

Mehmet Oz is a television doctor. According to other physicians, he's an Oprah cast-out and a pretty bad doctor. "Mass animal murderer" can be added to the list in the heat of the campaign.

It's serious. Over the course of 75 university studies for which Oz was "principal investigator," the television personality and his team conducted experiments on 1,027 live animal subjects. The research resulted in the deaths of 329 dogs and puppies, 31 pigs, and 661 rabbits and rodents.

Oz is accused of violating the standards of animal experimentation in scientific research. Many of the experiments that were conducted were in violation of the Animal Welfare Act and caused a lot of suffering. Oz had full scientific, administrative, and fiscal responsibility for the conduct in all of the studies.

The allegations were made by a woman named Catherine Dell'Orto. According to Dell'Orto, a dog was kept alive for a month for continued live experimentation despite being in an "unstable, painful" condition.

Several puppies that were given no anesthesia were killed by injecting expired drugs into their hearts and left in a garbage bag with their living littermates. Dell'Orto stands behind the allegations they relayed on her behalf, even though he concedes that the source of the information is not a reliable one.

Under American law, those accusations would be against animals. Columbia was ordered by the USDA to pay a fine. Dell'Orto claims that Columbia had investigators on the committee that were also involved in poorly designed, cruel animal experimentation.

Columbia defended Oz as a researcher and clinician who stuck to the "highest standards of animal care" at the time, but did not deny any allegations. According to The Daily Beast, Columbia scrubbed his profile completely from their website, since then.

Columbia decided to distance themselves from their former faculty if this is true.

Even if Oz wasn't personally carrying out every illegal act here, he was still the person in charge. Dell'Orto said that when your name is on the experiment, and the way the experiment is designed, there's a problem.

Dr. Oz's scientific experiments killed hundreds of dogs and puppies.

Audio Surfaces of Dr. Oz say some things are okay and his daughters don't like how he smells.
