I received an alert from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The Alamagordo chimps will be allowed to remain in New Mexico for about two years while the NIH studies the issue of their transference. This gives animal rights activists some time to prepare further defense of the animals. Good way to end 2010. Here's the story as reported in NewsWest.

I know many of us didn’t send out paper cards this year, but it’s not too late to have a little fun and spread some cheer for the New Year! Winster.com has designed a variety of cute and cuddly eCards featuring canines and felines, with a sense of humor and a bit of attitude! The cards are free to send if you have a Winster account (which is free too)!

Animal Ethics

DECEMBER 28, 2010

Let us think of the more moral members of society as a moral elite, much as the generality of scientists form a scientific elite. I hope I do not need to stress that such a moral elite must not be confused with a social or intellectual elite. Many people of no great education and of no prestigious social position certainly belong to my envisaged moral elite.

I recently fostered the sweetest little rat and I currently have two mice. Therefore, this Boston Globe article saddens me on both levels. And, of course, our old friend, Charles River Laboratories, will be a major supplier of lab rats. Scientific advances over the last three years have now made it feasible to easily tinker with rat genes, creating the possibility of far better models of certain human diseases, and potentially shortening the time it takes to develop medications.

We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday weekend, we sure did! Baby was very excited about what was in her stocking and gifts, hopefully your pets were spoiled a bit too. You may have heard of a great program called Iams Home 4 the Holidays. Right before Christmas on December 23rd, orphan dogs and cats available for adoption visited the New York Stock Exchange to ring the closing bell and raise awareness for pet adoption!
