Over $100 million went to medical research while about $1 million went to animal welfare causes. Actually, less than $1 million dollars went to animal welfare because a portion went to guide dog associations and that is human welfare as far as I’m concerned.) It’s more money for medical research.

I don't support animal research and I have no sympathy for animal researchers. I don't believe they are working for human welfare. I almost quit a book club a year ago because one of the members is a proponent of medical research. All of this BS by medical researchers must be challenged.
