European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 27, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 20 Ann Lander the stars and stripes dear Ann Landers what is happening to our country the recent attack at Michigan state University on an animal research Center was nothing Short of blatant terrorism. How could these activists possibly believe that research animals could survive outside the Laboratory Many of those animals were _ second and third generation Laboratory creatures born and raised there. Where were they going to be let Loose in the Middle of East Lansing in a sure the animals must have suffered from the trauma of the incident. The activists can Call it whatever they want but they do not Benefit either animals or Mankind when they break into laboratories destroy property and impede medical research. The american people must Start standing up to these mindless terrorists. The courts and the judges of this nation must Start handing Down stiff sentences to Stop this sort of craziness. What and who will be next i love animals too in Northern Michigan dear Abby dear Abby when i read the letter from a a Bubbie and her goldfish Mhazel and Brocha i had to write. Twelve years ago when i was 10 years old i won a Small goldfish at the county fair. Not knowing if it was male or female 1 named it fish face. After a while thinking it might be lonesome i bought another goldfish As a companion for fish face but after a few weeks i found the companion floating on its Side a dead. Three companions died on me so i gave up. Fish face must have been a baby fish when i got it a because in the 12 years in be had it i have had to buy a larger fishbowl three times. Fish face seems Content and i i 4. F a a  i a a a Iti it Peppy As Ever and shows no signs of aging but i would like to know How much longer i can expect it to live. Also forgive the dumb question Abby but How can a person Tell a male fish from a female fish a curious in Waterloo Iowa dear curious Small goldfish can be expected to live about 15 years a if they Are healthy Well cared for and not overfed. Goldfish like some humans will continue to cat As Long As food is available. It is difficult to Tell a male from a female fish a except in the Spring when the male gets Little White bumps on his fins and starts chasing females. Female fish Are visibly plumper than males when they Are full of Roc eggs. In other words pregnant. I May be telling you More than you care to know but my fish expert is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher employed by the aquarium Stock co. In los Angeles. And when i Tell you his name you will think i m kidding.

Get out of or Wlla or monday april 27, 1992 dear love 4 activists who vandalize laboratories and destroy years of research Are not helping the animals and they most certainly Are hurting people by impeding medical Progress. If there had been no animal research we would not have immunization against polio mumps or measles nor would we have Organ transplants Chela a therapy and treatments for diabetes epilepsy High blood pressure and countless other medical problems. Animal research is essential if we Are to find cures for cancer aids multiple sclerosis and other diseases and disorders. And we  Overlook the enormous contributions animal research has made to veterinary Medicine. Some have demanded that animal research be replaced by a a alternatives such As computer models and cell cultures. These same people seem to forget that Many cell cultures come from animal tissue and that a computer Only processes information supplied by humans. Even the most sophisticated technology cannot mimic the complicated interactions among cells tissues and organs that occur in humans and animals. I agree that the american people must stand up to these mindless terrorists. They Are a menace to scientific Progress and have no place in a civilized society. C creators Syndicate dear Abby. With your years of experience in dealing with people from All Over the United states i am sure you have come across Many who do not need to Pray slow me Down lord As Wilferd Peterson implored in his Lovely poem. I presume that there Are Many chicagoan who Are As slowly paced As the folks in Maine when they get behind the wheels of their pickup trucks on route 4. Those live to be 100 a but the Drivers be today s crossword Pokey Drivers May live a a _ a ind them stand a Good Chance of dying of heart attacks. And so dear Abby i offer this prayer with the Hope that the lord will hear it and provide a helpful response. Speed me up lord Speed me up lord. Activate my sluggish pulse and brain. Get my feet moving faster and remind me that today has Only 24 hours in it and if pm going to get anything done i d better make it Snappy. Teach me that a Little confusion is a Heck of a lot better than the peace and Tranquility of the grave. Get my nerves and Muscles coordinated and flexed a ready for action. Warn me about the fatality of goofing off with endless cups of Coffee and chewing the fat. Help me to Lay the Book Down put the dog out and get to work. Speed me up lord lest i get rooted to this spot like an old Oak tree. Rev. Joseph r. Mckenna Jay Maine dear Abby. 1 also enjoy Limericks.
