You believe what you want to believe in this world apparently, according to my twitter feed today anyhow. Or maybe I’m the one being pranked. Am I? I hope so.

@theworstofperth Menstrual pain simulated in male lab rats. “No particular reason,” said Professor Fiona Brown, project leader.”

Dear TWOP,
I came across your Twitter about Fiona Brown’s ‘work’ in simulating menstrual pain in male lab   and wasn’t able to find an original article/reference, would you be able to send me anything/point me in the right direction as to where you read/heard this? I run a campaign against Vivisection and am always interested in scientifically erroneous experiments.
Thanks very much,

    I’ve had the great misfortune to have had several interactions with “Animal Liberationists” on topics unrelated to animals (other than the human kind).
    Attempting to gain some insight to their mental and emotional condition over nearly a decade, resulted only in the conclusion that the professional mental health services, in WA at least, are failing us all rather badly.
    Rabid; imbued with an exaggerated sense of their own importance and prone to misbelief, misinformation and misinterpretation on all fronts.

    I pity the poor bloody animals, if they ever fall into the hands of this bunch of mad anthropomorphists.

          Don’t get me wrong, orbea, I grew up in an agricultural environment.
          Many of our food production methods would be proscribed if they were used to rear our beloved puppies and kittens.
          I do not, in any way, condone the mass production methods that are used currently.
          There is little need for the huge amount of animal protein that is currently fashionable, but it is financially beneficial to do so.
