All of the following are actual experiments conducted on live animals with your TAX PAYERS money:

10) 4 OUT OF 5 SCIENTISTS SURVEYED RECOMMEND EJACULATION TO RATS

Four researchers at the University of Western Ontario?s School of Medicine and Dentistry and one researcher at the University of Cincinnati studied whether male rats enjoyed ejaculation or intromission (the insertion of the penis into the vagina) more. Their data support the hypothesis that there is a hierarchy of sexual pleasure, with ejaculation at the top!
9) CHIMPS IN WORLD?S WORST ORPHANAGE CONDITIONS
*** Conditions that were ?standard care? at primate centers until the 1990s! ***
8) THANKS TO THESE SCIENTISTS, CASTRATED HAMSTERS CAN STILL GET IT UP
7) RATS TRAPPED IN UNCOMFORTABLE PLACES FOR A LONG TIME GET FREAKED OUT
*** Monkeys too! ***
6) MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT IN RUMINANT HISTORY
5) DON?T CASTRATE YOUR CHILDREN, SAY SCIENTISTS
*** From the NIH Intramural Research Program, which boasts the only lab ever charged with multiple counts of criminal animal cruelty! ***
4) A FIGHT TO THE DEATH ? BUT NOT BETWEEN LIZARDS
3) WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT? EXERCISE MAY HELP
*** From the researcher who discovered that adopted children fare better than orphans and social support alleviates depression! ***
2) MICE NEED ONLY WHEEL, NOT SHOCKS, FOR WHEEL-RUNNING
1) SCIENTISTS FIND VAGINAL STIMULATION MIGHT BE PLEASURABLE
*** Funded by a ?high risk, high reward? NIH breakthrough grant! ***

Regardless of your feelings concerning animal research I believe funding oif such research is absolutely unnecessary and a huge waste of our tax payers' dollars. I am writing my congressmen to oppose such a fraudulent use of tax payers' money.

<sarcasm>...because that website isn't biased. </sarcasm>

Maybe the less research-minded individuals find this a waste of money, but I'm sure if you were to read the articles (with their actual titles intact) you would see the implications these studies have.

I'm sure most people would rather just remain ignorant though. It's easier that way.
