This is DISGUSTING and REPUGNANT what researchers at the University of Wisconsin at Madison are doing to poor helpless cats! This place is supposed to be sociopoliticaly progressive, yet they’re violating animal rights.
The horrendous things being done to innocent cats makes the University of Wisconsin a bastion of animal cruelty. Watch this video:
Comedian and host of HBO’s Real Time Bill Maher speaks out in defense of cats who are mutilated, deafened, starved, and eventually killed in cruel brain experiments at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Prompted by a PETA complaint, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) report released just last week confirmed PETA’s allegations that UW failed to take adequate steps to avoid the cats’ infected, open head wounds and to treat them and that UW’s justification for the use of cats and the number of cats used was inadequate. NIH took the exceptionally rare step of ordering UW to suspend the experiments for nearly six months while major changes were implemented. The NIH findings echo a separate report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in February, also prompted by a PETA complaint, which found rampant infections among the cats used in these experiments. Some infections were so severe that they resulted in the removal of one cat’s eye and the euthanasia of several cats.
