Wonder if they supply cats to foreign labs...and of course how... Gloria
I wrote to Liberty Research twice, and have not yet received a reply. I looked at their website - they do indeed supply cats to labs.
Locally, we have a lab animal supplier named Harlan, or a subsidiary of Harlan nationwide. They also supply cats for labs. They ran an ad in the help wanted column a while ago advertising for caretaker for their "Feline Production Unit".

Reply from Fedex, the PETA story might be false, it would not be the first time.

FedEx policy prohibits the shipping of any animal on our regularly scheduled flights and the shipment of any domestic animals such as cats. We have provided charter services for Giant Pandas from China, white polar bears who desparately needed to be transported to various zoos in the U.S. from Puerto Rico (this was a humanitarian effort), horses for the Olympics and, just today, we transported orphaned cougars to the Memphis Zoo.
We have reiterated our policy regarding the shipment of domestic animals with customers and employees to ensure that our policy is adhered to.

I hope this story is not true but if it is true people need to take action against both Liberty Research and Fedex.
