I am about a week behind in reading the FML, so please ignore any questions
that have already been answered.  I will eventually get caught up.

Do you mean the issue from April 11?  On Friday (April 16) I went to the
back issues dept. at the Post & bought the April 11 issue.  This is pretty
embarrassing, but I am darned if I can find the article mentioned.  Where
in the paper does it occur?  Could the article have been in the April 4
issue of the Post, or in the News or Newsday?  Any direction would be
greatly appreciated.
 
[Moderator's note:  Did a search on Lexis -- the article was on April 4th
on page 45.  BIG]

Please, if you have details (name of test, type of test, etc.) post a short
description of it.  Many of us (well, me at least) are unaware of this
breakthrough & need the info to pass along.
 
Negative eyewitness accounts: I always take these with a grain (pound) of
salt.  What I may consider animal abuse others consider good, clean fun
(for example, dressing ferrets up like dolls), or vice versa (I use
Febreeze occasionally; others consider this the equivalent of animal
testing).  Difference of opinion, and that's OK.  Until I see & can
evaluate the situation myself, I tend to believe that anyone who is
interested enough to subscribe to this list probably is trying to provide
a good environment for the animals in their care.  And I know that
potentially all of us can be (certainly I have been) over- whelmed
temporarily by circumstance.
