Comment 1: give extra time to comment. please send me a complete copy of the eigth so i can comment more fully. i have lost respect for the avma, which seems to be all about profit and money rather than any humane treatment of any animal. their decision that its ok to put newly born chicks into a woodchipper to kill them shows just how bad this group is - they are human pond scum as far as i can see if they believe this is ok. the lab animals never end up alive. they are always killed. i find that unacceptable. the secrecy in how these grants are awarded is beyond belief. the public never never ever finds out whare their tax dollars are going. this is undemocratic. this is secret corruption and needs to be changed. all grants for any research of any kind needs to be totally open to the publc. pictures must be taken to show care and treatment of any animal. the pbulic must be allowed inside the labs to view the animals being abused in labs. jall animals used in any lab experiment needs to be put on the web with the followin ginformation on the lab where it is taking place. each animal individually must be listed. for example dog, white age 5 years test - skin duration - expected result validity NO ANIMAL SHOULD BE USED WITHOUT THIS NIFORMATION BEING QUICKLY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. THE NAME OF THE PUBLIC MEMBER OF THE IACUS MUST BE CLEARLY PUT ON LINE SO THAT THEY CAN BE QUICKLY FOUND AND COMMUNICATED WITH. ANY ANIMAL USED IN RESEARCH WORK THAT IS KEPT ALIVE NEEDS TO HAVE A RETIREMENT SUM OF MONEY PUT ASIDE TO CARE FOR THAT ANIMAL FOR THE REST OF ITS LIFE. IN FACT, EVERY RESEARCH ANIMAL SHOULD HAVE A TAX PUT ON IT TO ESTABLISH SUCH RETIREMENT FUNDS. I SUGGEST AN INITIAL TAX OF $1,000 ON EACH ANIMAL USED IN RESEARCH TO GO INTO THE FUND TO TAKE CARE OF ANIMALS THAT LIVE AFTER RESEARCH TESTS. ALSO, I PROPOSE THAT ALL LAB ANIMAL TESTS BE DISCONTINUED AND BANNED HENCEFORTH. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE TESTS THAT ARE GOING ON ARE VALID IN ANY WAY TO BE INTERPRETED FOR ANY HUMAN BENEFIT. THIS IS ALL ABOUT GREED AND MONEY. TESTING ON ANIMALS STARTED IN 1500 AND WE HAVE MUCH MORE MODERN, MORE ACCURATE METHODS THAN THIS TO USE TODAY. JEAN PUBLIC ADDRESS IF REQUIRED.
