Good. She should be harassed. Why should my tax money go to fund torturing songbirds? I’m sick of these white coat welfare recipients using our tax money for the outdated animal model. They should go after the perverts sexually abusing animals to study female sexual dysfunction. The NIH is crazy to give grant money to scientists who molest rats in order to understand human female arousal. Disgusting!
