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. News to me. Full story in the Seattle Times. The UW has been cited in the past for deficiencies in animal research, including allowing a monkey to starve in 2009.

Sounds like there can be a whole lot of drama surrounding the Willamette Week's attempts to report about this place.

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. Last summer, I spent a number of shopping trips walking by live lobsters with their claws taped up at the local Albertsons'.
