Shooting Cats
I am outraged by the news item “Army Says Shooting of Cats for Research Won’t Be Halted” (Part A, Nov. 2). If the Army can’t find anything better to do than to conduct “research” by shooting innocent, helpless animals in experiments that qualified doctors deem worthless and unnecessary, then this country is in very serious trouble.
From the perspective of a concerned citizen, it would appear that a far better use of the Army’s time and the taxpayers’ money would be to research ways to apprehend drug dealers and put a stop to their trade.
Drug dealers are a very clear and present danger to our society--cats are not!
The Army should immediately halt this insane and inhumane method of “research” and turn its efforts to making this country safe from a very real enemy.
