New York Times: U.S. Research Lab Lets Livestock Suffer in Quest for Profit

[Lady's Human]

There are a couple of Michigan reps on the House Agriculture Committee, both Republicans, one according to his biography "...an avid hunter and fisherman and a proud member of the NRA and the GOA." GOA is Gun Owners of America.

Somehow I doubt he'd care too much about farm animals being tortured for "research."

I think most hunters would beg to differ. Hunting and gun ownership does not equate to abuse. Most (not all...) hunters are excellent stewards of nature and hate to see animals suffering.

Okay, I hope you're right, LH, and shame on me for stereotyping!

This guy is also a Republican, though, so that might tip the odds.
