    It’d be fucking hilarious if George Soros came out of left field and was like “yo, here’s a big-ass check, don’t worry”.

    More seriously, this fuckin’ sucks, but honestly this is the happiest I’ve been with Harvard’s conduct in a while. They didn’t bend the knee, and I respect the fuck out of that.

    If the end result of their primates no longer being in a study is euthanization, I’m guessing they weren’t going to live full and happy lives after the study ended normally. The argument is not that funding cuts will cause harm to an animal, it’s that we abused an animal and now won’t even gain a benefit.
