NPR gave 4 vivisectors and only 1 nonabolitionist animal protection worker time to discuss
new lab animal guidelines
[b]US: Maryland: 200,000 Mice and Rats Imprisoned at Johns Hopkins University In Baltimore, Maryland
Johns Hopkins, which received major bequests from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is now outthieving Harvard as the number 1 recipient of federal tax dollars unethically used to research on animals for pharmaceutical company profiteering.[/b] Johns Hopkins has a football field sized building which serves as the number 1 concentration camp facility for these caged animals. New federal government guidelines, the first in 15 years, require that a number of rats or mice cannot be shoved into a tiny cage. Virtually all vivisection universities torture rats and mice. Their crowding is as bad or worse than that of factory farmers who shove 9 chickens into a 3 ft by 1 ft cage in factory farms. Bob Adams, the head of the Johns Hopkins facility, is complaining that some money may need to be spent. The Medical College of Wisconsin has also abused millions of mice and rats. and has one of the largest concentrations

institution is through Michael Bloomberg doing research for the Netanyahu government needs
to be investigated.)

NPR gave our air waves time to 4 vivisectors and 1 animal protector,
Kathleen Conley of HSUS, who did not take an abolition point of view. NPR
also mentioned the letters from the animal torture community, but
not the billions of people around the world who work to abolish animal research
or improve lab animal concentration camp conditions.
NIH is taking comments on this issue til the end of the month.
