]I don't want to start a war here, but why shouldn't we welcome lab ]research groups in the FML? Giving them the cold shoulder is not ]going to make them stop doing animal research. I say if they want in by all means let them!! If they can learn something from us that might prevent them from disassembling a poor ferret then I'd say thats a good thing. I would also hope that seeing the diverse personalities we find in our pets might at least cause them to appear more than just experimental supplies. BTW: Weezie and Sneezie are doing great after their adrenal surgery last summer (Sneezie the elder had Pancreas work done too). Weezie now has *all* of her hair back. This winter brought her tail hair back. Sneezie still has a bare butt but some of her tail hair is now growing back. Weezie is just like new.. healthy, fat and getting in trouble once again. Dr. Kawasaki is great!! - JoeB, Weezie, Sneezie, and Cody (Da Bear Patrol) [Posted in FML issue 0738]
