Southern Branch of the Agrarian University of Crimea
Faculty of Agricultural Sciences
Department of Plant Protection
In December 2010, we signed an agreement with Irina Sharmagiy, Head of the Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Southern Branch of the Agrarian University of Crimea, Simferopol. At her department, 120 vertebrates (fish, frogs, pigeons, chickens, rats) and 650 invertebrates (e.g. earthworms, mussels, crabs, starfish, insects) have been killed every year to study their anatomy. The agreement stipulates that all these animal experiments will cease on 1 September 2011. The department received a laptop and several DVDs and CDs from us.
Control visit
The control visit took place in October 2011. The donated animal-free teaching materials are in use and everything is running to our complete satisfaction.
