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?
