Those manuscripts were only cited twice and once, respectively. All of that suffering for nothing. Hopefully that opens their eyes to what's going on

Yep.

Someone over on the Pitt sub is trying hard to make light of this. Any other evidence I can share is welcome, when you get time.

I get it, scams are bad, and they are everywhere. I know that far better than most. But this one user really wants to disprove or minimize this.

I get it. It kind of stinks to have your alma mater spotlighted for torturing kittens.

Skimmed it. Pretty cold is the best I can say.

I ended up deleting the post because no matter how much evidence I was providing, it was not enough/satisfactory. Apparently there are a bunch of thin skinned alums who think this is A-OK.

Their MO was to keep moving goal posts and pick at everything to justify it.

I’m posting it in other community like Feline Guardians, where are people care more about animals than rah-rah for the alma mater.

Ugh, yeah, of course they were defensive like that. Typical alumni. Thanks for the update! I'm still working on gathering info in between work and whatnot

Yeah, I put it with some other communities who have more brains snd decency. I didn’t want it to do more harm than good since they were piling on.

The amount of hot air was absolutely suffocating.
