The Palmer Chiropractic University System recently spent $4 million ($1.3 million of which was provided by American taxpayers) on a new laboratory to conduct outdated experiments on animals.
Palmer subjects rats to cruel and deadly spinal experiments (in fact, it even proposed using scissors to cut off the front legs and tails of more than 100 rats) and has added cats to its list of victims despite the fact that one of its own “researchers” questions the value to human patients.
Palmer says that its animal experiments are designed to validate “a profession that has been under attack for its 107-year history.” The truth is, Palmer will never be able to satisfy its critics by doing spinal experiments on animals.
The truth is, if Palmer experiments on animals, it can apply for huge grants from the federal government.
