Harvard academics have warned they will be forced to euthanize animals used for medical research because of Donald Trump’s $2.2 billion funding freeze.

They will also be forced to fire workers, and withdraw critical funding for cancer and ALS patients, CNN reported.

Talk about a non-sequitur. You'd think someone at Harvard would be smart enough to see that this line of blame just simply won't fly. Either that, or they think we're so dumb that we'll just swallow whatever line the Elites throw at us. It's an insult. Solution: give the animals to a university that doesn't provide safe harbor for Palestinian activists.

Lab animals are always euthanized after the experiments are done. They don’t turn these tortured animals into pets.

[BipolarBob]

It's Easter time.

[Nervous Tick]

Yes, I’m sure they would be much happier as laboratory experiments.

You betcha! Them are some peaceful, happy campers, right there!

[Georgia Girl 2]

So instead of torturing the monkeys they’re going to kill them. 🤔

[Mlheureux]

Ya, Harvard is in the poor house with only 50 billion. How could anyone not kill animals when they are soon poor and not able to keep them.

Even more impressive

Keep the animals, euthanize the faculty.

Nobody gave a rat’s patooie when hog farmers in Iowa murdered hundreds of thousands pigs during COVID because the slaughter houses were closed.

I see no reason to kill off the lab animals. I think that’s why we have the ASPCA

[wildcard_redneck]

“Hand over taxpayer $ billions or we kill all of the animals!”

[cgbg]

Where are the animal rights activists when we need them?

They should be protesting 24/7 in Harvard Yard.

[RoosterRedux]

Yep. Just a PR stunt. And they’re so stupidly Woke and anti-Semitic, they don’t think we’ll see through it.

After Mad I moved to the National Lampoon. The station I worked at ran the Radio “Hour”. It was really 30 minutes except the Easter Show. It was 15 minutes by the time the station owner edited it.
The cast for the most part moved on to SNL. I used to have all the reels, but they disappeared over the years.

[rktman]

I thought it was a mere 5 billion. :0

[Nervous Tick]

>> Keep the animals, euthanize the faculty.

LOL! You win the Interwebz today!

[SaveFerris]

Exactly

[chajin]

Malicious compliance, it’s the order of the day for all anti-Trumpers.

[Magnum44]

The result will be hilarious. PETA marching against Harvard!
