Description[?]:
| While we appreciate the concern for animal well-being, we have to realize that it is ridiculous to require every animal study to have a permit (what about the junior high school biology class that wants to observe how rabbits respond to different kinds of music or light or something of that nature?) We need to take a moderate position, that upholds animal well-being while at the same time allowing the sciences to flourish. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
