R.I.P. Noah
I hadn't spoken to him in ages, but when I got the news of his untimely passing 4 years ago I was deeply saddened. Noah was a big part of one of the most important time periods of my life.
I hope you're resting well, Noah.

These (VEGAN) Boots were made for Stompin!!
So, Dr Martens has decided to make a new line of all VEGAN boots and shoes. I bought the black ones when they came out and they are definitely sharp lookin and feel great! I was hesitant to buy the red ones, since the last batch that VS did looked more like Clown shoes.... I went ahead and ordered a pair of the red boots from shoebacca.com and was pleasantly surprised that they were a nice dark maroon color. I polished them black and they look great! So, yeah. Get em.

Pain for Dogs Doubles at Huntingdon Life Sciences
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pain for Dogs Doubles at Huntingdon Life Sciences;
Overall HLS Experimentation Drops
Somerset, NJ – Recently obtained federal reports reveal that Huntingdon Life Sciences use of dogs in painful experiments without anesthesia has more than doubled, even though their overall experimental business has dropped.
In 2008, 77 dogs were force-fed toxic substances whose side effects caused substantial pain, without receiving anesthesia. At least 5 of these dogs were so injured by the toxic substances that they had to be killed. In 2007, only 30 dogs were used in experiments involving unrelieved pain.
“The concept that dogs, no different than those who share 43,000,000 American homes, are literally poisoned inside the labs of this facility is totally shocking,” added Budkie. “This is not science; this is nothing short of animal abuse.”
However, these same reports reveal that animal activists’ campaign against the Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) Corporation has been effective. Government reports filed by the company disclose a one-year drop of 34% in animal use at the New Jersey laboratory.
2007 animal use reported to the USDA by HLS was 2143 regulated animals (not including rats, mice etc.). 2008 animal use plummeted to 1415, a drop of more than 1/3.
“Clearly the campaign by animal activists is having a major impact,” said Michael A. Budkie, A.H.T., executive director, SAEN. “Anytime you see a 1/3 drop in business in one year something is very wrong.”
The USDA reports are available upon request from SAEN.

In memory of F91396
F91396 was born on December 16th 1991 and was KILLED on May 17, 2001.
It appears that she was pregnant three times, only coming to full term twice.
This poor, young female appears to have taken part in the following experiments:
Evaluation of an osteoinductive material in nonhuman primate osteopenic vertebrae
Acute and Chronic effects of Prenatal Tethering and Psychological Stress (this appears to have been changed to changed to Acute and Chronic effects of Prenatal Tethering and Catheterization after coming under board review)
When they were done with abusing this poor being, she was killed.
Per their documentation:
Disposition: Euthanasia, experimental
After going back and forth with the University of Washington for some time I was able to get all of the documentation they had available on this primate.
You can download it here if you'd like:
