The Taser threads that are being posted lately offer an opportunity to talk about the tests on pigs at UW-Madison. I posted in one last week, and this one earlier this morning.

Suprisingly, two of the mainstream articles I posted (The New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle) ended on a pro-animal rights note.

2. This reminds me....

Didn't the military stop shooting goats to study gunshot wounds? Not like there's a shortage of combat wounds right now.

Though I'm sure there's a shortage of hoity-toity white lab coats willing to go in harm's way either.

In fact, some of the biggest anti-AR groups around are in the vivisection business. I'll go look for these.

Usually the red flag goes up when I see 'AR Extremists' in a topic title. Most of the major pharmaceuticals link to this group so they don't have to get their hands dirty! Ha!
