University of Oklahoma is in trouble for abusing baby monkeys and baboons…

Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that The University of Oklahoma was cited by the USDA in January for mistreating animals in a research lab. Apparently, University workers were waterboarding baby monkeys (giving them hypothermia) and keeping baboons locked in filthy cages that are still probably cleaner than your roommate's bathroom.

Surprisingly, the local TV news media hasn't mentioned or touched this story since the USDA report was released in January. Considering they love nothing more than to report a sad news story about an abused dog, neglected horse, mistreated chinchilla, or nesting owls, you think they'd be all over it. I wonder what's keeping them from reporting it. I bet the answer rhymes with either "Bavid Doren" or "Gagvertising."
