Seems Madeleine Pickens, wife of billionaire T. Boone Pickens, was about to gift the university’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences $5 million until she learned of the repeat and terminal surgeries performed on man’s best friend in its labs and withdrew the largesse.

The dogs–amassed by Class B dealers from pounds and surrendering owners–would be euthanized anyway! MORE>>
