Primate Freedom: Invertebrates
http://primateresearch.blogspot.com/2011/03/invertebrates.html
Sunday, March 13, 2011. A recent short conversation led to someone sending me two articles that they said supported their notion that there is a consensus among scientists that invertebrate animals are not sentient. It is certainly easy to find scientists and philosophers who have this opinion. But there is some reason to wonder whether there is a genuine consensus. Philosopher/neuroscientist Sam Harris notes in The End of Faith. If we grant that some animals are conscious and that we should therefore re...

Primate Freedom: Bennett, Kalin, Maternal Deprivation, and Me
http://primateresearch.blogspot.com/2012/06/bennett-kalin-maternal-deprivation-and.html
Sunday, June 3, 2012. Bennett, Kalin, Maternal Deprivation, and Me. I received a copy of the minutes from a closed session of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Graduate School Animal Care and Use Committee (ACUC) almost two months ago. You can view them here. This passage is included:. Dr Capuano will check with Dr. Welter. Shortly afterward, I wrote to the chair of the UW Letters and Science ACUC:. Just to gain some clarity, has Allyson Bennett's project been approved by the L&S ACUC? I had asked the ...

Primate Freedom: Stealthy Advertising
http://primateresearch.blogspot.com/2015/04/stealthy-advertising.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present - and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself could become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address. January 17, 1961. Whether or not his plan makes sense, ...

Primate Freedom: Robert Golden: "... the opinion of the top leaders..."
http://primateresearch.blogspot.com/2014/09/robert-golden-opinion-of-top-leaders.html
Monday, September 8, 2014. Robert Golden: ". the opinion of the top leaders.". I am writing here mostly about one claim that was made in various forms by Dr. Robert Golden. His talk is pretty much a load of crap throughout that seems intended only to soothe and delude his listeners, or else he really is as dull as he appears, but that seems unlikely. See some previous observations of mine regarding some of his previous ridiculous claims here. Who get together and decide that his work is so promising, tha...

Primate Freedom: Ethical Responsibility
http://primateresearch.blogspot.com/2014/11/ethical-responsibility.html
Saturday, November 15, 2014. When I discover I've made a mistake by claiming something is that isn't, I say so. As a layperson who writes about the history of medicine, I like to cite my sources so that readers don't get the idea that I'm making things up. But I'm not sure whether or not I have an ethical responsibility to strive to be accurate. I try hard to be accurate, but I do so for personal and calculated reasons, not because I believe I have an ethical responsibility to do so. It isn't unethical f...

Primate Freedom: In response to Dr. Robert N. Golden
http://primateresearch.blogspot.com/2014/06/in-response-to-dr.html
Wednesday, June 4, 2014. In response to Dr. Robert N. Golden. In response to: Dr. Robert Golden: Monkey studies vital to better psychiatric treatments. Letter in Capital Times.6-4-2014. Ironically, Dr. Robert N. Golden claimed that Dr. Murry Cohen's letter included distortions and misleading claims. But his rebuttal was richly spiced with errors and an altogether odd misunderstanding of Kalin's work given the fact they are both psychiatrists. Dr Golden asks rhetorically "Why is this study important?

Primate Freedom: MOTHERS DAY CANCELED
http://primateresearch.blogspot.com/2012/05/mothers-day-canceled.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. UW SCIENTISTS REVIVE HARRY HARLOW’S CRUEL MATERNAL DEPRIVATION. Maternal deprivation - crushing a monkey’s spirit by raising him or her without a nurturing caregiver - was invented and promoted by UW-Madison’s Harry Harlow and his students in the 1970s and 80s. Harlow’s experiments with maternal deprivation are widely acknowledged as being profoundly cruel. This is a giant moral step backwards and a challenge to public sentiments and mores. The UW Madison may have hired Dr. ...Benne...
