quote:-Actor James Cromwell Arrested for protesting abuse of golden retrievers at Texas A&M research facility
"Caging and hurting golden retrievers is unethical and bad science, and it needs to end now," says Cromwell. "I join PETA in asking that these dogs be released for adoption immediately and spared further misery."

We’re on of the top research universities in the world. We’re going to use animals to cure MD. The end.

Luckily, James Cromwell has a limp dick and weak sperm, so no Hollywood actresses will need to have babies removed from their womb limb-by-limb after having their skulls crushed by the abortionist's forceps.
So Cromwell won't have to go protest that injustice.

How infantile are these protestors? "Little Johnny, we may have been able to cure this horrible disease you're afflicted with. But a bunch of people who make a living playing make believe didn't want us to find a cure all because our research involved furry creatures with big brown eyes. If we'd have been able to use squid or land crabs, you'd be sound as a pound."
Quit anthropomorphising animals, you children.

Since 2012, a research laboratory at Texas A&M University has bred and experimented on dogs with a form of muscular dystrophy known as Duchenne. The disease, which affects one in every 3,500 human births, also occurs in dogs; specifically in golden retrievers. The lab has become a world leader in this research. But finding a cure has required researchers to breed sick dogs and sometimes euthanize them.
quote:
Duchenne is a degenerative and terminal disease that affects mostly young boys. Between 400 and 600 boys will be born with the disease in the U.S. this year. Most will require wheelchairs before they finish high school and will die before their 30th birthday.
quote:
Last year, the Texas A&M lab reached a significant milestone: a gene therapy approved for human clinical trials by the Food and Drug Administration. If the research advances to an effective treatment, it could spare future generations of boys and dogs alike.

Why goldens? They are an awesome breed. One more reason for me to want to skull frick TAMU.
ETA: Halfway kidding. If it leads to real advancement in medicine, the It’s worth the sacrifice. My dog growing up was a golden, so I have a special place in my heart for them.

This is unbelievably cruel. A&M sucks.

I just like that, the Internet was already won for the day before 8 am

Nature is cruel in causing humans and dogs both to be born with this disease for no discernable reason.
Sometimes science isn't pretty, but it's necessary to alleviate the suffering we as mortal species have to deal with on this planet. If you don't have the balls to do this kind of research, at least have the decency to appreciate those who do to make all of our lives better.

So you want children to be born with despise and die at a young age? Yikes.

Nature is not sentient. Humans are. We’re also intelligent. What A&M is doing is crude science. Why not just breed humans for the same purpose? The Nazis did similar science. For dog lovers this amounts to bizarre and inhumane experimentation. Shame on A&M.

UK does alzheimer's research on beagles. They are bred for this purpose and then euthanized. Google is your friend.

Wouldn’t a better approach be to learn to detect disorders in the womb and then abort the defective fetus? There are enough humans on this planet. We’re approaching 8 billion for crying out loud. And we’re living longer.
Our efforts as an intelligent species are directed at producing unlimited numbers of humans, even at the expense of other species. This is having a detrimental effect upon the entire biosphere.

And UK sucks for doing this. Did you really think that was a “gotcha” discovery? Animal experimentation is cruel and sick no matter who does it.

No, murdering babies is not the answer.
