News is not news. It is a product that is created, shaped, and sold.
New Iberia - Animal mistreatment alleged by the Humane Society was not cited by federal inspectors during their visit to the New Iberia Research Center last month, according to a USDA report.
U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors, however, found six areas of non-compliance with the Animal Welfare Act and set deadlines for corrective action.

If the HSUS don't like us testing possibly life saving things on chimps, why don't they volunteer to be the test subjects?
Or let the baddest one in their club go three, three minute rounds with one of the chimps.
