I was dismayed to learn that the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders has given more than $3 million for a series of cruel experiments on cats at the University of WisconsinMadison (UW).
Now I recently uncovered yet another disturbing study being proposed at the Univ of Wisconsin. In this experiment, the brains of young anxious monkeys will be probed and injected with chemicals known to disrupt specific areas of the brain nerve circuitry ostensibly linked to anxiety and depression. This manipulation will allow certain behaviors to be switched on and off in the monkeys at the whim of the experimenter essentially turning them into mere puppets. This new scientific toy has the potential to abuse thousands of primates for many years to come if not challenged by the public.
