I am speechless. Before writing this I had to think for a long time about what I was going to say. I've heard from your students first hand and read online about the cruel research you do to cats. This is unbelievable. Cats are not like small mice. Being in the animal research field you should know this without me even needing to explain why!!! This has got to be a sick joke. I have had pictures sent to my phone from a couple friends who are students there and know someone who has access to this area. I asked for them because I thought this couldn't be true. The world we live in is far to advanced to be using such horrible procedures still. I have 3 cats at home and they are everything to me. They feel pain, I can tell what is wrong by just looking in their eyes. They are funny, sensitive, loving, affectionate, happy. They are intelligent. The love from them is endless so how can you stand there watching them suffer. I DO NOT CARE what condition these cats are in; young, old, brain damaged, deaf, etc. This is no different than using dogs. I pray to God you can open your heart and mind and actually be human and have feelings so that you understand how sad this is. How sick. You think they do not feel the pain? What do we gain from this use of cats? Nothing. There are hundreds of colleges who do not use cats that have extremely intelligent students and significant research. But they do not use such a CRUEL process. This is spreading fast. You can try as hard as you like to keep this secretive but when something is as sick and wrong as this the word will get out regardless. EVERYONE PLEASE PASS THIS ON. Whether you love animals or not please understand that nothing should feel pain for human pleasure. I don't care if it is 1 cat a year or 30 a day. This is not science. This is not research. This is not helping us with cancer treatments. We are intelligent people and we ALL know there are other ways to do research. What is this teaching our children??? That it is ok to torture animals. That hurting something you have power over is fun and easy? University of Wisconsin I am disappointed in you. Absolutely shocked you could turn into such a pathetic place. Please for humanities sake stop this.
