University Says Bill Maher Misled
by PETA on Cat Research

HBO host Bill Maher is no stranger to inserting himself into contentious
debates, but this time the target of his latest harangue is fighting back.
Maher teamed with PETA to decry
cruel cat experiments being conducted on the campus of The University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The comedian taped a robocall message that reached more than 100,000
Madison-area residents about the animal testing going on in their neighborhood.
The University begs to differ,
citing independent research it claims cleared it of the charges PETA and Maher
allege.
The robocalls made this week by
Bill Maher continue that campaign of misinformation and in no way reflect the
facts as they have been independently established. While Mr. Maher and PETA are
entitled to their points of view, the facts tell us that the research in
question is important, was conducted appropriately [NIH findings regarding the
condition and care of the animals can be found at the bottom of page 9] and
humanely, and will lead to a better understanding of hearing and technologies
to address hearing loss.
