Message-ID: <286@wuphys.UUCP> Date: Sun, 9-Jun-85 17:50:49 EDT Article-I.D.: wuphys.286 Posted: Sun Jun 9 17:50:49 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 12-Jun-85 07:36:22 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Physics Dept., Washington Univ. in St. Louis Lines: 25 In the lates issue of New Scientist, a scathing expose of abuse of stuffed animals in research labs was recently presented. Actual photographs of stuffed animals having their eyes pulled out and with their heads stuck full of hypodermic needles were shown. The researchers offered the lame excuse that the work was needed to make sure that the animals were safe for children. No thought was given at all to the suffering of the cudley little bugers. Don't these people have any feelings at all? Mark F.
