Gene P. Sackett has had a lengthy career torturing baby monkeys. He started as a student of Harry Harlow in the 1960s and continues to publish papers from his experiments that cause unspeakable cruelty to baby monkeys. Here’s a brief look at a recent paper of Sackett’s.
Recently, vehicles owned by University of California faculty member Michael Selsted were vandalized by the Animal Liberation Front. In response, Selsted/UC-Irvine have tried to state, or at least imply, that Selsted is not a primate vivisector. They also have tried to blame this website for passing along the notion that Selsted is a vivisector. They’re lying. Selsted is a primate vivisector who is only now trying to hurriedly cover up his cruelty. Perhaps he is ashamed and he knows he can’t make an ethical case for using primates in harmful experimentation. Whatever the reason, here we take the time to dispel some of the lies being passed on to the media and public by UC-Irvine.
he lead news story in the August 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Association (JAVMA) discusses the role veterinarians play in primate vivisection labs. The piece in JAVMA is nothing short of blatant and misleading propaganda disguised to cover up the cruelty and suffering that is endemic in U.S. primate laboratories. As this commentary makes clear, veterinarians exist in labs simply to keep animals alive so they can be harmed by vivisectors. A victim at the hands of human vivisector Josef Mengele explained a similar ethic at Auschwitz: “Mengele became very angry when a child died in bed because of the conditions in the camp. These deaths meant the loss of valuable guinea pigs for his medical experiments.”
After eight years of litigation and vigilance on the part of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the USDA has entered into a settlement that states that facility reports must be posted online for public access. This online resource will be an important tool for the public and anti-cruelty activists to learn what is happening in vivisection labs in their community and across the nation. Even this website will benefit as a result of the efforts and hard work of HSUS.
Vivisection laboratories are notoriously secretive. The public’s right to know what is happening with our money inside labs is continually eroding. Records that were considered typically public are now frequently denied by labs. The vivisection successfully lobbies frequently for new exemptions to public records laws to state and federal legislative bodies.
So nothing should surprise [...]
