I love our two cats, but not the least bit bothered by this.

Somehow, there are lots of people who think nothing of human abortion, but using cats for research is horrible.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it,
and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and
over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Yes some animals die in research. That is the price of progress.

Up to half of the world's population is infected by toxoplasmosis but have no symptoms.[7] In the United States about 23% are affected[10] and in some areas of the world this is up to 95%.

Citing documents reviewed by his office, Michigan Republican Mike Bishop described a decades-old research project at the USDA's Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, in which hundreds of kittens are bred, fed meat that is infected with Toxoplasma, and later killed and discarded by "incineration."

This is outrageous; killing kittens for some medical experiment. Can't we use lawyers?

She wants answers regarding the death of CATS???

Congresslady, how about you give ME answers about where obama and SOS Hillary were while HUMANS were being attacked for HOURS before being killed in Benghazi, HMMMMMMMMM???

There’s was a time when high school students dissected cats in biology class.

A short drive from where I grew up, there was a facility that used cats for product testing, and it was widely assumed that any given missing cat had made the trip to the lab. I don’t recall anyone getting worked up about testing on animals, but that was small-town Iowa in the 1960’s.

Some of us have seen more than one schizophrenic who went to crazy extents against other human beings to protect a multitude of cats. And those schizophrenics are not all women.

I’ve seen cats survive without human help at over 8,000 feet elevation at near 40 degrees latitude in a relatively sterile (semi-arid) environment (temps as low as minus-30s, F or C).

It is a shame the Congress critter does not take the same umbrage against abortion.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

Man, you can’t swing a dead cat around here without some congressman doing something dumb to get his name in the news.

It’s the “litter box disease”, I had to look it up.
