Wisconsin: lock up your puppies, Gov. Walker Is Selling them for $1 for “research”

Anyone who has been following the news of the Unionists protests in Wisconsin, USA would know about the attacks on teachers, fire fighters, garbage collectors, women, Nurses, Unionists, any person who works at a state job, anyone at all apparently.

They might even be aware that the bill being forced through in Wisconsin has provisions that remove protection from discrimination based on sexuality and sexual orientation.

But there is a little known provision that allows the State to sell homeless dogs to research facilities.

And ask any animal rights activist what “research” means – it is not running dogs through little mazes and rewarding them a piece of Swiss cheese upon completion.

No, “research” means VIVISECTION – it means testing chemicals or surgical procedures, shoving electrodes into various parts of their bodies to determine if animals feel pain, or giving them a fatal virus and seeing if they respond to treatment, it means cutting their brains open and seeing which parts respond to stimuli, or determining how much floor cleaner or mascara or “potato derived snack product” or Napalm it takes before death occurs.

This is what Governor Walker of Wisconsin wants for the dogs of his state.

And – if a research facility wants an animal, they get preference over the rightful owner.

The Democratic Underground forum has the contentious piece of legislation…


SECTION 2704. 174.13 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:

174.13 (2) Any officer or pound which has custody of an unclaimed dog may release the dog to the University of Wisconsin System, the University of Wisconsin– Madison, the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc., or to any other educational institution of higher learning chartered under the laws of the state and accredited to the University of Wisconsin System or University of Wisconsin–Madison, upon requisition by the institution. The requisition shall be in writing, shall bear the signature of an authorized agent, and shall state that the dog is requisitioned for scientific or educational purposes. If a requisition is made for a greater number of dogs than is available at a given time, the officer or pound may supply those immediately available and may withhold from other disposition all unclaimed dogs coming into the officer’s or pound’s custody until the requisition is fully discharged, excluding impounded dogs as to which ownership is established within a reasonable period. A dog left by its owner for disposition is not considered an unclaimed dog under this section. If operated by a county, city, village or town, the officer or pound is entitled to the payment of $1 for each dog requisitioned. An institution making a requisition shall provide for the transportation of the dog.
174.13(3) (3) An officer or pound that has custody of unclaimed dogs shall maintain records as provided under s. 173.17
174.13(4) (4) It shall be unlawful for any person, except a person licensed or registered and regulated under federal animal welfare laws, to take or send outside the state or to purchase or otherwise acquire in this state for the purpose of taking or sending outside the state, any living cat or dog to be used for any medical, surgical or chemical investigation, experiment or demonstration.




Used as an example of research, and not suggesting that Gov Walker would personally do this to any animal, or that any facility that lost and homeless pets are sold to would do this

and, I wonder why the Animal Rights Activists have been so silent about this animal killing statute

Animal Experimentation – but it’s for good for everyone


Good scientists, altruistic and noble, good men and women, with only the best interests of their patients at heart. Seeking to find cures for diseases?

White-coat Nazi’s would be a better description.

The Tuskegee syphilis experiment was a experiment on poor, black men in Tuskegee Alabama that lasted 40 years (1932-1972), and refused to give treatments even after penicillin was invented.

Even when people tried to bring this issue to attention, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) over ruled them, and continued the experiment. The CDC wanted the Tuskegee study to continue until all the participants were dead.

The experiment only ended when a researcher went public, the spotlight of media attention was the only reason it ended. It is easy to imagine that these experiments would have continued if the media had not have found out.

This happened because the men involved were black and poor. It happened because people in charge did not care about the lives of those who were being experimented on.

People who do experiments on any living being, whether human or non-human, do not care about their patients, and they do not care about making a better society, they do these things because they can. They have a pathological cruelty and total lack of empathy, they do not see others as having any rights to life at all.

Animals and people become mere things, not individuals. The lives of a few are traded for some imagined good for everyone.

And if this is what they can do to people, imagine what they can do to animals, and people who have no rights. They do these things because they can.

If it is outrageous to do this to people, imagine what it is like for animals.
