Dr Oz Branded 'Sick' By Fetterman Amid Report His Research Killed 300 Dogs

Well it seems some have dug up the evidence against Oz...it is curtains for Oz. I would add despite the breathless reports from the media about how Oz is gaining in popularity. He isn't. And he has never been ahead in polling either. Consider that ther is likely a great deal of Roe vote out there that can't be accounted for as the powers that be insist this is a 'normal' midterm. I don't think that it is.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman has branded his Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz "sick" following a report that Oz supervised experiments that caused the deaths of more than 300 dogs.

Fetterman, who is running for Pennsylvania's open Senate seat and is currently the state's lieutenant governor, took to Twitter on Monday and accused Oz of being a "puppy killer."

Jezebel reported on Monday that Oz had supervised experiments at the Columbia University Institute of Comparative Medicine between 1989 and 2010 that had resulted in the deaths of at least 329 dogs, as well as other animals.

"I LOVE my dogs," Fetterman tweeted. "Apparently some sick people like Dr. Oz get their jollies by harming animals..." There is no evidence to suggest Oz took pleasure in the animal experimentation or any deaths.

The MAGAts don't like it when their politicians sound too smart.

But none of it matters because he'll lose and go back to New Jersey where he belongs.

If this news report about Oz killing 300 dogs doesn’t drag him down then the people of Pennsylvania are idiots.

He also killed other animals in brutal ways...and the research was BS if you ask me...just a way to peel off some NIH money. Once a grifter always a grifter It is an October surprise. And what can Oz say?

They raise beagles for their expetiments. They use chimps and other primates.

And it's not just medical and veterinary schools. The psychology departments do it to. And a lot of their experiments are needless. They have already been done over and over.

I personally think it's awful.

by failing to give the animals pain relievers. But you're right that killing animals is standard in medical research. The idea is that it's better than killing people with experimental procedures and treatments.

I don't agree that all of their experiments are needless. Some save lives. Epidemiology, for example, uses animals to track contagion.

But there's no denying he considered the animals expedient, disposable for his own purposes and medical fact-finding. The fact that these experiments continued up until 2010 makes any excuse lame.

Reports that the dogs unnecessarily suffered during these experiments is downright grotesque.

Yes, sick. As in, disgusting.

treatment of lab animals. A vet science student I met in college actually edited a textbook on the care of lab animals. Hopefully technology advances enough so that we will no longer need to use animals in the development of drugs and medical procedures.

But, I'm sure either the Fetterman campaign or a PAC supporting it is planning to make ads on Oz's use of animals in his research and his failure to treat them humanely. Remember, it was only a month or so ago that the news of the 4000 beagle puppies raised for research and confiscated by the state of Virginia was all over. The dogs were adopted about as soon as they were ready for adoption. Animal research might be a necessary evil, but people do not like it. As soon as "Dr Oz kills puppies" becomes widespread, he won't get 20% of the vote.
