Kyle Mianulli’s article was largely accurate. But I should clarify one point: “Charly said he originally planned to sell the land to the animal rights activists four years ago, but they were unable to come up with the money.”

I suppose liars get so used to lying that they find it difficult to tell the truth. In fact, Charly refused to take our money, opting instead for the higher amount offered by the university. Charly had promised in writing, twice, in notarized and recorded contracts, to sell us the property.

He was able to escape from the contract only because Verne Jesse, an attorney with Murphy-Desmond, a high-priced Madison law firm, claims to be an expert in real estate law, but was incompetent, and drew up a flawed contract. That’s why Charly was able to avoid his promised obligation to sell us the property, refuse our money, and to take the higher offer from the university.

Torture! Madison is becoming well known for their horrific treatment of animals.

Three cheers for UW and animal research!

Rick, do you take any medicines that come from animal research?

Yes, Rick…do you take ANY medicines? Are you like Ingrid Newkirk (PETA) who takes insulin and other medicines while spending her energies to discredit and shut-down animal research?

Speaking of liars getting used to lying, do you parrot any of these discredited ARA extremist’s talking points Rick?

Everyone against animal research should unite and sign the Advance Animal Directive which states… I__, being of sound mind and above the legal age of 18, do herewith ask all health-care providers (including pharmacists, surgeons, physicians, paramedics, and all emergency room doctors) to include this in my permanent medical records and to make sure that I never receive medications, surgical procedures, medical devices, treatments, or disease therapies that have ever been tested on animals through biomedical research. I intend for this to include (but should not be limited to): cold medicines, decongestants, sinus medications, athlete’s foot medications, anti-inflammatory medications, acetaminophen, hemorrhoid cream, yeast infection treatment, antibiotic cream, first aid cream, antacids, laxatives, allergy medications, contact lenses, vaccines (such as diphtheria, typhoid, smallpox, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, chickenpox, Hepatitis B); anticoagulants, anti-depressants, anti-pyschotics, asthma inhalers, blood pressure medicines, blood transfusions, breast cancer medicines, bubonic plague vaccines, cataract surgery, cervical cancer vaccine, chemotherapy, cholera vaccine, corneal transplants, coronary bypass operations, CT scans, deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s, ectopic pregnancy treatments, heart transplants, heart valve replacements, heart/lung machines, hip replacement surgeries, HIV drugs, insulin for diabetes, kidney dialysis, kidney transplants, leprosy treatments, anesthesia, malaria treatments, meningitis vaccines, migraine medications, monoclonal antibodies, MRIs, muscular dystrophy treatments, open heart surgeries, pacemakers, penicillin, prostate cancer medicines, rabies vaccine, Rh factor, rickets treatments, cholesterol medications, tuberculosis medicines, transplant rejection medications, ulcer medicines, arthroscopic surgeries and laparascopic digestive surgical procedures, plus 6,582 other drugs and procedures.

To Roger Charly You did the right thing and I’m glad you were rewarded with a substantial sum of money for your property. I used to work at the Primate Center and I know from experience that the researchers, caretakers, administrators, and veterinary staff are humane and caring people. Every monkey was well taken care of by the staff there. They took a personal interest in the welfare of the monkeys and everything was done according to regulation. Incidentally, I still have the bicycle I bought from Budget Bicycles in 1992 when I lived in Madison. And it works great.

Ah, the research extremists are out in full force, cheering for their team. Go animal killers! Rah rah! Let’s cheer for our team and attack the other team instead of having a rational discussion!

All medicines in this country have to be tested on two non-human animals species, regardless of how effective or moral that testing is. There is no alternative. Even if testing the drug on animals was worthless, immoral, too expensive, and did not predict the human response, if you want to take a painkiller for your headache, you have to take medicine that was tested on non-human animals. Why should research opponents, who are working toward a better way, be deprived of those drugs?

If you don’t think that anyone should benefit from unethical behavior in the past, you’ll have to move. You get to live here only because of genocide of the Indians. Should you be held responsible for killing the Indians?

And what makes you think that testing drugs on animals even produces benefits to people? Have you studied the research? There is much evidence that the results of animal tests do not predict human response and that reliance on animal testing harms people.

Roger Charly found a legal loophole that let him break a contract and sell property worth $590,000 for $1,000,000. His greed far exceeded his integrity. And you think that he did the right thing? What kind of integrity do you have?

What part of destroying the emotional centers of a monkey’s brain and then killing the monkey constitutes good treatment? If I did that to your dog or cat, would you call it good treatment? If researchers did it to a human, would you call it good treatment? Where do you get this idea of “good treatment” and why do you think it justifies experiments on monkeys when it would never justify experiments on people?

It is a victory of the unethical over the moral. Rather sad that the unversity only seems to have become interested in the site when it found out the animal activists were interested in it. The moral values of the vendor bonded to the dollar. The new facility will probably perpetuate tired old procedures and abuse of my relatives whilst consuming tax dollars faster than a politicians election campaign on steroids!
