You can’t test a tazer on a pig, but you can starve a woman

MADISON, Wis. – A professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison plans to study whether stun guns alone can kill pigs — or whether other medical factors must be at play — as part of an effort to understand why 70 people have died in North America since 2001 after being shocked by Tasers.

Led by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, outraged animal rights activists are calling for an end to the two-year study by John Webster, a professor emeritus of biomedical engineering.

I’m so glad that we in this country have our priorities straight and someone is willing to stand up for pigs.

    Oh Good. More enlightenment.

    How will I survive without Rama painting me as a partisan even though it’s never read more than a week’s worth of posts.

    Maybe the PETA folks will volunteer to be used in the testing. Seems fair to me.

    Here’s something you can post:
    “The parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of strangers moved by her plight will receive a steady stream of solicitations from anti-abortion and conservative groups.”

    Hey Vinnie – for some reason or another, I’m unable to email you but I had to forward this to you. http://tinyurl.com/6qkt6

    What’s wrong, Bsti? No one reading your blog so you keep posting your shit here?

    NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!

    Now move along.

    Why would you assume no one reads my blog just because YOU don’t? You know, you really are an arrogant person. Being “open and honest” doesn’t justify being a jerk as well.
    Maybe nobody cares what I have to say, as hurtful as you intended that snipe to be, but I will not move along. I will voice my opinion until you ban me. I will never be insulting without reason, as above.
    I happen to think Terri should live. But you don’t care what I think.
    In fact, you are so set on hating me that nothing I could ever say would move you.
    Because I’ve tried.
    I’d say that any God would not grant the prayers of anyone with an ounce of hate in them. At the very least, anyone who can’t FORGIVE.

    Bsti, I’ve asked you a million times to just fuck off and go away. I don’t know how much clearer I need to make it to you.

    I have no use for you. I have no use for your site. I have no use for anything you have to say.

    In fact, ever since you directed that nasty snipe at me on your site, I could give two shits if you fell off the face of the earth.

    Don’t preach to me about forgiveness, dude. This ain’t about me. You fired the first shot, now move along. You are not welcome here, as you have not been welcome here for the last 5 months.
