The year 2010 marks the one hundred year anniversary of the disappearance of the original Brown Dog statue in the
Battersea neighborhood in London, erected in memory of the small brown terrier who in 1903 at a University of
London medical lecture hall had been stretched on his back on an operating board with his legs bound, his head
clamped, and his mouth muzzled. His pancreas had been removed, his pancreatic duct ligated, and his salivary
glands subjected to electrical shock—all of this, according to witnesses, without any anesthesia having been
administered. The dog’s vocal chord nerves had been cut to keep it from barking or howling and for the duration of
the demonstrative lecture it writhed in agony, fully conscious. At the end of the lecture he was killed with a knife.
This horrific incident, witnessed by infiltrators, brought to the fore of the Western consciousness the appalling
practice of vivisection. In commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Brown Dog Sculpture, which disappeared on
the night of March 10, 1910, the Black Walnut/Robert Wayner Gallery will be curating an art exhibit entitled “The
Brown Dog Affair: 100 Years Later” to be displayed at the gallery between Nov. 1 - Dec 31, 2010. To learn more
