Animals are burning alive in Arizona
And those fires were deliberately set, maybe by those who are smugglers, maybe as a diversion or maybe others with their own agenda's but I hope the arson experts are on scene. Bears, deer, wolves all burning alive. I want these criminals caught and killed. I am tired of "nature" being blamed for the sins of men.
HERE IN WISCONSIN:
The University of Wisconsin has slipped a measure into the state budget bill that would exempt all animal research from all of Wisconsin's anti-cruelty laws.

HERE IN WISCONSIN:
The University of Wisconsin has slipped a measure into the state budget bill that would exempt all animal research from all of Wisconsin's anti-cruelty laws.
We repeat: It would exempt all animal research from all of Wisconsin's anti-cruelty laws.
This is the most sweeping bald-faced attack on animals in the university's history.
Item 27 in the University of Wisconsin System Omnibus Motion reads:
"Liability Protections for Scientific Researchers: Specify that current law provisions prohibiting crimes against animals would not apply to persons engaged in bona fide scientific research at an educational or research institution or persons who are authorized or otherwise regulated under federal law to utilize animals for these purposes."
The budget bill will come to vote on Tuesday.
You must call your Wisconsin state legislators today and tell them that you are strongly opposed to exempting researchers from Wisconsin's anti-cruelty laws.
The call will take less than five minutes of your day. The animals deserve that from all of us.
It is vital that you call. If the measure passes, researchers cannot and will not be held accountable for any cruelty or neglect. They will be able to starve animals to death with impunity, stage animal fights, kill animals by means of decompression, there will be no constraints whatsoever.
Please call them now. It also helps for us to know if you called and who you spoke with. Please send us a note at alliance@allanimals.org.
Thank you.Who Are My Legislators?

I'm torn - I truly am!
Medical as well as veterinary science have accomplished great things w/the aid of animal research; that doesn't mean I have to LIKE it...
I still cried the other morning as I listened to NPR which was discussing the new continuous-flow (i.e. non-pulsitile) artificial heart: the test subjects were calves.

Yes, but I believe that heart research would pass the test of not being cruel. However, UW was doing decompression experiments on sheep, torturing them horribly which killed them eventually. They also did taser experiments on pigs shocking them over 100 times until they died. They also microwaved 2 monkeys, supposedly an "accident". I would like to see a few researchers criminally prosecuted for that sort of stuff.
UW is actually under federal investigation for cruelty to animals and you know how rare that is:
