Life Without Mother
By Lawrence Carter-Long, Animal Protection Institute, Mainstream, Vol. 28,
No. 4, Winter 1997, www.api4animals.org
|
The images that we have recorded of
maternal deprivation experiments on animals are haunting.
...The stereotypical behaviors associated with severe psychological distress
shown in these early films and photos includes young animals in slouched
postures crying out for their mothers,
socially withdrawn,
shaking and
clasping themselves, or sometimes huddled in the
fetal position in a corner
of their cages.
...The Animal Protection Institute flatly
opposes all maternal deprivation experiments on animals on both
scientific and ethical grounds.
(Does the Animal Protection Institute oppose
human babies in day care being deprived of their mothers for 10+ hours a
day? --
editor.)

Brazilian Daycares: Weighing the
Risks and Benefits by Denis
Marchand in Brazil, International Development Research Centre, Ottawa,
Canada
idrc.ca, December 11, 1997 |
Daycare centres are an ideal environment
for the transmission of disease. Worse yet, they are the major channel for
transmitting pneumonia, the main cause of child mortality in Brazil.
Thus we find that a young child will have five times greater chance of
catching pneumonia in such an establishment than anywhere else, according to
a study carried out in the state of Ceara in the Brazilian Northeast by Dr.
Walter V.C. da Fonseca, a medical specialist in tropical diseases and
epidemiology.

Brazilian Daycares: Weighing the
Risks and Benefits by Denis
Marchand
mag@idrc.ca , December 11, 1997 |
We have long known that children run a
greater risk of catching a cold, diarrhoea or pneumonia in daycare centres,
but we were not aware that these centres constituted the number one risk
factor for respiratory illnesses, and that until quite recently they were
the principal cause of diarrhoea and child mortality.

Brazilian Daycares: Weighing the
Risks and Benefits by Denis
Marchand

"Is the government going to continue to
subsidize daycare centres if they are still going to be a place for catching
diseases?" asks Dr. Barros, (who has been observing the state of health
of one thousand children in various of the 40 nurseries in the city of
Campinas).
