Oprah shows her ass again

For months, people have been upset with Oprah Winfrey for having models wearing furs on her show. Apparently, she didn't hear a damned thing anyone said. One of her favorite guests, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Columbia University's vice chairman and professor of cardiac surgery, is at the center of the complaint filed against Columbia with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Oz's lab is a place of terror for the dogs that are imprisoned there.

When a lab dog gave birth, lab officials ordered all the puppies killed. The fully conscious puppies were injected directly in their hearts, a practice condemned by the American Veterinary Association (and anyone with a shred of decency), an organization not exactly famous for its animal rights stands. Witnesses heard the puppies' screams through the closed door.

Oz has allowed extremely sick dogs to suffer for weeks before they died or were killed. When veterinarian Dr. Catherine Dell'Orto alerted PETA about the terrible conditions at the lab, her complaints were ignored by both university and government officials. Dr. Dell'Orto then resigned her position at Columbia, after being told that there was no point in confronting a celebrity doctor.

Oprah isn't the only guilty party. Oz also appears on the Discovery Health Channel.

Here is information for contacting the Inspector General of the USDA, to get the Columbia investigation re-opened.
