Just why did the LCA remove the Hachiko Coalition petition from their website? I only asked them a question.

  • Why are you supporting a group that has 2 administrators that have applied for animal research studies?‏

I saw that you have a campaign “ http://myemail.constantcontact.com/URGENT–Sign-Petition-to-Help-Animals-in-Japan.html?soid=1011040807792&aid=XS8gpQ9QHek”.  It is for the Fukushima animals.  That is commendable.  However, I wonder why you would support an organization, Hachiko Coalition, that has on their staff 2 administrators that have applied for grants to do radiation research studies using animals in Japan.  One of their staff members is a assistant professor at the University of Kentucky and the other is at the University of Florida.  The professor at the University of Kentucky has a grant that will enable her to work with Dr. Shigeki Imamoto.

I just find it odd that your organization that purports to not be an advocate of animal research would help an organization that is known to have animal researchers on their staff.
It would be most appreciated if you can clarify your stance with this before I write anymore about this.

If the Hachiko Coalition sent LCA a copy of the “study” that they showed was what their administrators were working on as they posted on their site, it would seem that the LCA still had an issue since they didn’t put the petition back up.
