On Twitter I have seen several retweets of this.
Thought to self: 'These Sconnies seem to be sensible people, but surely this is a bit much'.
Asked for link and Jennnnie kindly sent this.
Whoever posted it said:
Emphasis added. That's the section that the person posting in that forum noted will give research facilities wanting dogs preference over rescuers.
So, it's true. To address his self-created 'budget crisis', Gov. Scott Walker is going to sell dogs to researchers for a buck each.
A real money-maker that ought to be.
ADDED: So I tweeted this post.
Walker to sell pound dogs to researchers for a buck each. True. http://bit.ly/fuSFAF That'll help with 'budget crisis'. @Wisconsin #WIUnion
Smart-arse stoopidproof retweeted thus:
They won't go to waste though. Ever see Soylent Green? RT @fernhilldammit: Walker to sell dogs to research for $1 each. True. #WIUnion
Another smart-arse, woodstock4028, replied:
@stoopidproof @fernhilldammit Only if #Huckabee's son doesn't get them first.
Again, I thought: 'Huh?'
It's true. Mike Huckabee's son killed a dog.
I mean, really, what do these ReThugs have against dogs, for dog's sake?

You're aware that this is not new with the budget proposed by Wisconsin's governor, right?
It's been law in Wisconsin for long enough that nobody can remember the last time a "pound" animal was transferred to an educational institution. It is included in the budget language because changes to the way the university system organized require wording changes — separate mention of "University of Wisconsin System" and "University of Wisconsin-Madison" in this case — in existing statutes.
Don't forget about Mitt Romney:

"The incident: dog excrement found on the roof and windows of the Romney station wagon. How it got there: Romney strapped a dog carrier — with the family dog Seamus, an Irish Setter, in it — to the roof of the family station wagon for a twelve hour drive from Boston to Ontario, which the family apparently completed, despite Seamus's rather visceral protest."
Thanks, k'in. I knew there was another shithead ReThug dog abuser. Couldn't remember which one.
k'in's link clickable.
