animal cruelty, good news

violetnightshade says:

If you doubt that each of us has the power to stop suffering, look to this campaign. Thousands of people responded to this campaign with polite pleas to U of M to stop this cruel practice, and they listened. Good for them! Good for us! And most important of all, good for the dogs.
