Often they only seem to fund research that involves torturing animals / gratuitous use of animals.
Often the value of the experimental research seems dubious at best.
Often they don't do the most basic of things they could do to make things more humane.
Often the research... Just seems like some dim excuse to allow them to torture and abuse.
And the 'best of them' (in some sense) get picked to do Medicine. To do their experiments (or their observational studies of how doing nothing or doing something results in pain and suffering and death) of people. The animal at the top of the food chain.
I mean...
You might want a rat lab... But if you are really really good you will get to torture and abuse chimpanzees -- right?
So you can 'clean' your data and lie about your findings.
THen you can move on to human infants. Or human adults.
See how many of those you can torture and poison and...

I thought it was a set-up so there was a record of the people who participated in such things so that there was a blacklist of things they were locked out of.
I mean, why would you want people who do those things anywhere near you... If you had a choice..
I mean I guess in NZ it's supposed to scare people back to working the plantations for no pay...
But no, there's more to it. An actual group in Australasia... India, too. There are journals that will publish people's confessions of the criminal things they've done. Whether they ever get prosecuted for them or not.
People can read their research and decide for themselves if they think it was justified.
Most of it is gratuoutious. Waste of time and energy and resources. Thinly veiled excuses for the fact that certain people like to torture and harm. Just beacause they can. Because they are getting away with it.
Yay them.
Well done.
Ruining things for us all.
