Vivisection is the practice of cutting into or using invasive techniques on live animals. The term is derived from the Latin word vivus, which means alive. Vivisection is commonly called animal experimentation and includes the use of animals for research, product testing and in education. Animal experimentation is conducted in a wide range of environments, including universities, hospitals, research institutes, independent laboratories that conduct research for corporations, military bases, and agricultural facilities.

The fines totaling a whopping $685,116.27 would seem to be a victory for the dogs and puppies mistreated by Bradley International Inc., but the corporation has dissolved, no assets are available to pay the fines, and Judge Lo refused to impose jail time or personal liability on the individual people responsible for breaking the law and abusing the animals.
