Mind you, I like cats but I'm not a nutter about them but I wasn't too happy reading about the way they actually destroy them. A hypobaric chamber sounds an evil way to die. Essentially, they suck out all of the oxygen and the poor sods suffocate. Not a nice way to go. Bit of the website below... THE ETHICS OF USING CATS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCE DISSECTIONS The question of the ethics of using cats for medical science dissection and learning can and should be raised. The ethical argument against the use of cats would be stronger if cats were bred specifically to be killed for dissection. However, the cats we use are the product of uncontrolled reproduction of pets. The surplus wind up at the animal shelter. At the animal shelter, the majority of cats are "euthenized" in a hypobaric chamber. In this chamber, the air is pumped out until the animal first passes out, and eventually dies of oxygen starvation. In the great majority of cases, the carcasses are then either cremated or buried. It is clear that using these animals which have already been euthenized yields at least one positive outcome of their sad deaths, one of advancing the teaching of medical science. Until the pet population explosion is under control and there is no surplus of euthenized cats, it would seem that a constructive use of a social tragedy is to be encouraged. The Grim Reaper |

I wish it weren't so; but if their carcasses can be used to make the lives of humans better it is a good thing. Well, it's obvious that 'someone' made a poor attempt at trolling. But since you made the comment about the animals being put to good use... Years ago in my youth, I worked for a vet. They'd put down animals and the ASPCA would show up once a week and collect the carcasses. We'd just put them in plastic garbage bags, tie them shut and put them outside the backdoor. On day I became curious and asked what the ASPCA did with carcasses. Well, they sold them to the knackers. Yes, that's right, we're talking *soap* and other fine products. I've often thought that the soap manufacturers should have given their products better names, just to 'honor' the ingredients. Instead of Ivory, Fluffy. Instead of Zest, Fido. You get the idea. I know that the ASPCA probably claims that they cremate the carcasses, but I'll bet they still sell them to the knackers when they can. Think about that the next time you climg into the shower.

Bobbi --- Roberta Hatch '65 Panhead Dykes on Bikes, San Francisco, CA (This space for rent) Bathing with soap made from feline doesn't bother me any more than that I eat the outsides of many other animals. And some of them, I eat the insides, too. Tripe, for example is a delicious--but very stringy--meal. And liver is a healthy treat. I have never knowingly eaten a cat, and I can't imagine that I would enjoy it either way. But I have eaten other kinds of animals that people keep for pets. Lamb, veal, chicken, duck, rabbit and squirrel. I've never eaten a raccoon. --Geno |
