I recently received this alert...animal lovers, please help!! Sorry, for some reason I couldn't get the links to work. Please go to peta.org and go to the related article (see bottom right corner), under action alerts) and respond!!
Dear Kristin,
PETA recently learned that students in an undergraduate neuroscience course at the University of Texas–Dallas drill holes into healthy rats' skulls, destroy portions of their brains with chemicals, and then inject them with amphetamines for behavioral experiments. The rats are then killed once the study concludes.
Fortunately, an expert-endorsed interactive computer simulator is available as a replacement for the use of animals in this cruel and crude classroom experiment.
PETA is now calling on you to help end these experiments at the University of Texas–Dallas.
Please send a quick e-mail to University of Texas–Dallas Dean of Undergraduate Education J. Michael Coleman, and politely ask him to work with faculty to replace this cruel study on rats with humane, effective alternatives that are available and being used in neuroscience courses at other universities.
Thank you for giving a voice to animals in need!
Sincerely,
Justin Goodman

Hi Kristin,
This is despicable. And I absolutely hate rats but, there is no justification for deliberately harming a living creature. Thanks for posting and making us aware of it.
