I just wonder if this fine institution of higher learning had an emergency evacuation plan. I believe it is a requirement for federal funding grants, etc. I find it amazing that two schoolhouses did not foresee this situation and take the appropriate measures. I certainly hope the administrators of these schools do the right thing and resign.

Hey June, do you foam at the mouth every time you eat a hamburger? And by the way, America is THE BEST place in the world to live, there are fewer people here with their head up their asses than most anywhere else. That minority that do usually demonstrate the fact by commenting like you do.

There was no ban on animal testing. I would be the first to say let us be as humane as possible, but we owe our lives to the experiments that are conducted on animals. If you think that’s sad, let’s not forget we owe our freedom to the men and women who have die in war– some justified and others, well, maybe not so justified. The argument will be made that the men and women in uniform had a choice and the animals don’t. Though basically true, I would counter with, not really. Once you sign-up you go to war or you go to prison and few 17, 18 and 19 year olds understanding what they are signing when they enlist. At that age most feel bullet-proof and few go to war expecting to die.
I’ve known good animal researchers and the ones I’ve known care about there animals and though the research on them, they provide them the best life possible and a kind and gentle death.
There is a price for life, whether exploring space, the oceans bottoms, keeping us free, or developing medicines that will save millions of people.

animal testing was never band. What did happen is that under presure from Animal Rights activitest most research that can be done without using animals is now done that way. However there are problems that can only be solved with a living creature to test it on. Heart Disease, cancer, AIDS, and many more alments and problems require someone or something to be sick with them to study it. As a result these projects use Animal testing.
My problem with most Animal Rights Activists is they don’t know where to draw the line. I agree human treatment on Animals is important, however I have to ask. How quick would you sue if a product hurt you? How many animals would you kill to save your Mother, Brothers or Spouces life?

Why is it that if you beat a cat or a dog you goto jail?
But you can inject them with chemical weapons and kill them with diseases and its ok?
That doesnt make sense.
And I could of swore they banned animal testing in the 90’s anyways. Was that repealed?

June, lighten up. Please don’t think for one minute that a dog, cat, or a monkey have equal status as human beings. Yes, they deserve to be treated humanely as possible, but should these they receive better treatment than our elderly, the poor, our children, veterans, the homeless, etc?

The only thing I see is these animals didn’t have a choice to leave like the people of New Orleans who was warned they was used, abused and left to die. I wonder would we be so quick to leave our children and old people to just die and knowing we used them as experiments makes you wonder what else are we using babies next this is no better than taking them to a fight and betting on them until one dies. I say go to hell America get your heads out of your damn ass and get a soul.
