[Gpdd] MISC-test animals-Brody

Way to go Lisa!  Most lab animals live and die in labs, it is only chimps
that are freed after years of being researched on, and even then it is hard
to get the labs to be persuaded to liberate them.

How wonderful for Brody.  He is an extra-ordinary pig and I am sure you
treat him that way.  If only he could talk and tell you what really
happened.  His is a rare story but with a truly happy ending.

When I took my guinea pig Brody in for a check up, my vet asked if I'd
obtained him from a lab.  Brody has 2 precise chips missing out of his right
ear, and my vet says thats one of the ways that they identify test subjects.
We have a few labs that do animal testing in San Diego.  I adopted him as an
adult from animal control last March.  I asked who dropped him off and why,
and they said the person was really 'shifty' and just left him and didn't
want to leave a name or a reason for the relinquish.  My vet thinks he was
'liberated'.  He is really, really easy and patient to get medicine, nail
trims, etc.  If this is true,  I'm so happy to give him a nice, happy,
carefree life with lot's of room to play, good food and plenty of
girlfriends.
