Tax dollars at work: V.A. torturing dogs (sick) !

Ran across this article. What a crock, V.A. doing research on dogs !! WTH for !!!!

Another example of how the US got + ONE TRILLION in debt every year Obummer was in office and what did we get? OH,, dog torture.

It is even more troubling when Congress learns that these Doberman dogs are deliberately being harmed (given drugs and their brains cut out) so that a government agency can learn about human narcolepsy, despite the fact that the government?s own documents state ?the underlying cause for narcolepsy in humans is different from that in dogs.?

Guess it was just another day at the office? or maybe it isn't true.
Maybe some of the swamp needs to go to jail.

    you think since pigs are the closest thing in nature to people they would try it on pigs - or even chimps.

    I'm not opposed to animal testing....but stories like this again remind me that I can't for the life of me think of a good reason for the existence of the VA.

    A tad misleading about the mechanism of narcolepsy being different between dogs and humans.

    The genes involved differ, as canine dna is not the same as human dna, but the protein structures in play are the same.

    Pretty interesting, actually.


    Misleading ? The V.A. spending tax money to kill dogs ? Why is the VA doing research while they are NOT providing health care and services to veterans which should be their main purpose.

    V.A. can't give veterans treatment in a timely manner but have time and money to torture animals,, NOT THEIR JOB !!

    What next, the failing public school system providing brain transplants?

    If you don't want research done on animals just volunteer for it to be done on you, problem solved. Or maybe we can just assign numbers at birth and use a draft type system, if your number's drawn you get your brain cut out. If you chicken out maybe you can find a poor peasant and buy one of his kids to go for you.

    How many medics on here had to save a gun shot dog or goat during your training?
