I live in Seattle and, while I don't always agree with PETA, I hate the UW's animal research practices. I don't believe these animals get the quality of care they deserve for the suffering they undergo. If you "humanize" the animal and grow attached, how can you conduct experiments on it?

I live in Seattle and I am always skeptical of how the UW treats its lab animals. I had never heard of the use of ferrets in medical research though. Full story in the Seattle Times. says only about 13 percent of the pediatric-residency programs in the United States use animals for such training. News to me.

I went to graduate school at the University of Washington here in Seattle. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report on the UW National Primate Research Center in September. This incident can be traced to a failure to weigh the animal at regular intervals. Tags: animal research University of Washington USDA.

For all you Seattle-area residents who have thought of buying a live lobster just to free it into Puget Sound.don't do it. So, I started researching conditions around here for releasing lobsters. So I contacted the Northwest Animal Rights Network for their opinion. Tags: lobsters animal rescue. The answer was a gentle no.
