"I  had the unfortunate experience of reading about your school and the 
guinea  pig incident in the headlines of several major news providers. I live 
in  Illinois, but I have had several friends who attended IU. It's a good  
school. Please do not send the message that your university condones  
violence against animals by going light on punishment for the guilty  person. 
I own six guinea pigs, and they have all the personality and needs  of any 
other companion animal, such as cats and dogs. All animals deserve  care and 
respect, even "rodents". It has been my experience that people  who have 
little repect for the lives of animals usually also have little  respect for 
humanity. Please keep this in mind when it comes to you to  administer the 
university's punishment to the guilty student."

I  still encourage everyone to write to this dean, and give this guinea pig a 
 
voice. They named her Noel for Christmas.
Sincerely,
