Animal cruelty musem inches forward

Some time ago, we heard about the Primate Freedom Project’s efforts to establish an animal cruelty museum where the interaction of humans and animals could be explored, but the coolest part of the concept was the location: right between two primate research centres. So, if you’re a university who owns two primate labs and you’re about to be confronted by an actual building instead of the occasional group of protesters, what do you do? Why, try to steal the building out from under them, of course! As veganicat reports, the Primate Freedom Project had to go to court to defend its contract with the current owner of the building after the University of Wisconsin-Madison offered a much higher price to secure their neighbourhood. The school had several chances to buy the building in the past, but never liked the price, until, of course, an AR group put in a bid, at which point the university was willing to offer $325,000 more than the current offer. The law actually came up on the side of AR this time, and the PFP’s offer still stands. I can’t wait to see what the PFP gets as a housewarming present… Link.
