WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., is being asked by an animal advocacy group to support legislation for better animal treatment to make up for fraudulently adopting cats from animal shelters then experimenting on and killing them while he was a medical student.

A Dec. 31 letter from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals asked Frist to make amends by pressing for reforms that would replace old-style tests where animals are subjected to painful and sometimes deadly procedures with newer, more humane approaches. They also requested that he help fund research to find non-animal alternatives.

Frist acknowledged in a 1989 book that he routinely killed cats while an ambitious medical student at Harvard Medical School in the 1970s. His office said it had no record on how many cats died. Frist disclosed that he went to animal shelters and pretended to adopt the cats, telling shelter personnel he intended to keep them as pets. Instead he used them to sharpen his surgical skills, killing them in the process.

1. There's nothing he can do to atone for this

If he runs for Pres. I'm going to shout this from the rooftops.

3. I'll be right there with you, demnan

I have always had cats and love them dearly. To think of one of my kitties in the hands of this man - horrifying.

I've already been sending it out to friends. I'll make a concentrated effort in the next few days to send it out to other animal rights groups.

I want people to automatically think "Cat Killer" when they think of Frist.

4. I'll join you shouting from the rooftops!

I have 5 cats of my own whom I love very much like they're my own children. I cannot imagine them ending up with someone like that sick man!! :grr:

He is NOT fit to be a president...not even in any government

2. Don't the experts say....

....that killing and torturing animals was the starting point for most serial killers. I read of a report that Bush use to blow up frogs with firecrackers, and now he's led the US into a war that was illegal and has resulted in the deaths of over 1 million human beings.

Bush has it made, he gets to enjoy the deaths being caused by his war, without getting his hands dirty or even having to get rid of the evidence. What serial killer wouldn't like that kind of a deal?

So I guess Frist can be listed as a potential serial killer?

8. Yep alot of serial killers start out on animals

This site has a good collection of articles on this:

People who lack empathy for animals often lack empathy period. People and animals are things not beings who's suffering matters.

5. seems we need a stanza about this in ONWARD FRISTIAN SOLDIERS: ...

Reformatted Onward Christian Soldiers:


dedicated to waltzing Karl Rove (waltzing with WHO you might ask) who reportedly hums this whilst cheating, lying, and manipulating his way through his White House chores:


Onward Fristian Soldiers

Onward Fristian Soldiers
Marching as to war
as resourcese dwindle
and there are no more

Frist, the royal master
leads agains the foe
forward into battle
armor-less we go

ALL together now on the chorus:

Onward Fristian soldiers
Marching as to war
the wealthy pay no taxes
banking is off-shore

6. Wild applause for chomskysright!!!!!

7. Bill "Cat Killer" Frist - everyone should be told!

All of America should be aware of just what high quailty examples of humanity that they have voted into office. If anyone tried to do what he did to one of my precious furbabies the results would not be pretty.

[Ian David]

9. But at least he has settled the issue of how many lives cats really have

After dissecting hundreds of cats, Bill Frist can now say with authority that the number of lives that cats have is precisely one.

Next, he will begin dropping Rein Deer off tall buildings to determine if they can, in fact, fly.
