The votes are in, and the contest is getting even more intense, as the four remaining universities square off in this week’s Fatal Four! We’ve had some nailbiting upsets and some unseemly blowouts since this competition began a few weeks ago, but I can say without reservations that the four remaining contestants deserve to be here. So let’s bring this thing to its breathtaking conclusion: Leave a comment to vote for the two schools you want to see next week … in PETA’s March Mad Scientist Final Showdown.
Here are your matchups:
Duke vs. UW-Madison
Michael Platt, Duke Michael Platt drills metal screws into monkeys’ skulls for a living, and he’s not afraid to implant the occasional wire coil under their eyelids when push comes to shove. It’s this “nothing’s impossible” attitude that has helped Michael get the Duke team in contention to win it all this year, despite an extremely strong field consisting of some of the cruelest vivisectors in the world. |
Ei Terasawa, UW-Madison Regardless of which team wins in the end, UW-Madison’s Ei Terasawa will most certainly be in contention for “MVP of the Tournament” honors. Ei’s signature move, the “push-pull perfusion” technique, involves a two-chambered pipe, a few bottles of chemicals, a restraint chair, and a live monkey’s brain. It’s Ei’s unique ability to combine these objects in surprising ways that has brought her team all the way to the Fatal Four. Will it be enough to get them to the finals? |
MSU vs. Stanford
Arthur Weber, Michigan State We highlighted Arthur Weber in the Sick Sixteen a couple of weeks ago, but he didn’t need any help to advance his team in the tournament. Arthur’s longtime practice of removing cats’ eyes while they’re still alive is more than enough to make Michigan State a strong contender to take home the big prize this year. |
Alan Schatzberg, Stanford But don’t discount Alan Schatzberg and his colleague David Lyons! These guys have put Stanford in a position to pull off a big upset this week, with their hard work in Stanford’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavior Sciences traumatizing the hell out of some monkeys. Schatzberg and Lyons’ signature move of implanting wires into primates’ brains may be just enough to get them into the big show. |
Leave a comment to vote for the winner of each matchup, and we’ll see you next week in the finals!

Dude check out Tipu Aziz, he is a oxford university pro test chairman, and he is as sick as a nazi scientist! he was responsible for the torture and death of felix the monkey! horrific!

All four of these cretins are well matched for horrendous torture of living creatures. Spare them not ! In desperation are any commentors versed or practised in the black arts ? if so, perhaps the odd doll with strategically placed pins could solve a lot of problems,

Arthur Weber is my choice for depraved, amoral, violent, sickening monster. They are all bad but this bastard stands out for me.

They all should tie for first place! Whatever these sadistic mad scientists do to the animal should be done to them! How would they like to have their eyeballs removed or wires implanted into their diseased brains!!

Good gracious, they're all so deserving, how can we choose only one and leave all the others to feel rejected? Perhaps we can give them all awards, the nature of which I will leave to readers' imaginations.
What utter sleaze.
Excellent idea, whoever came up with this approach. Thanks.

This is all extreamly inhuman but i must say it is compleat bull when you use monkeys to reaserch PSYCHIATRY.. i want to be a childrens psychology major and i dont believe that in any way shape or form that has anything to do with torturing monkeys!! But dont worry they all should be ashamed. And anyone like them.

MSU sucks because they do cruel tests and coach Rich "fraud"riguez gave up on wvu and went there to coach.

'' Thanks Saira,'' I forgot about that vile piece of shit from Oxford University ; Tipu Aziz., what a repungent piece of worthless humanity he is. Perhaps Peta UK., should run a piece on him the disgusting ( whatever nationality he is. )

Arthur Weber. Well said by Ana, but I will say that since I specialize in cats, I feel obligated to speak out against this horror.
Ana, have you read the book called "When Cats Ruled Like Kings"? ;)

They're all tough contenders, but I have to give my vote to Duke. Sure, if Arthur Weber got anywhere near my cats, he'd lose more than his eyes, but it's Michael Platt's "nothing's impossible" stand that won me over.

The cat killer is my pic for the worst(arthur weber)
Posted by: Marianne | April 5, 2008 02:43 AM
How can one measure sadistic cruelty? Even looking at all these perverts gives me the creeps but I will go with Duke and MSU.
Posted by: Maureen | April 5, 2008 12:53 PM
how do you choose? their all monsters but I guess i will select Arthur weber.
Posted by: carolyn | April 5, 2008 09:33 PM
they should have to suffer just like those animals had to do for their unright and cruel experiments.
Posted by: Jose | April 6, 2008 05:22 PM
i would like to see Duke vs. MSU in the March Mad Scientist Final Showdown.
Posted by: Amber | April 6, 2008 05:30 PM
I say they experiment on them, how about that:)
Posted by: silvia | April 6, 2008 07:21 PM
Where do these people think up these things? I can't begin to conceive of thinking of doing things like this to any living being. These people are truly sadistic and depraved.
My vote goes to Weber.

I think I'd have to say Duke and MSU for this one. :/ Although I agree with the first comment.

Someone should put steel rods in their heads. They need their Intercranial Pressure checked. All of these freaks are #1. They are depraved pieces of crap.
Posted by: michelle | April 7, 2008 09:34 AM
Bastard monsters, all of them.
My pick is the cat killer, Arthur Weber, what a sick bastard.
Posted by: Judith, Freedom Fighter for Animals | April 7, 2008 12:38 PM
Well said, Judith!! Almost impossible to choose, but the cat torturer is a bastard just too f***ing disgusting to ignore.
Peace, mama.
Posted by: Maya, CVT | April 7, 2008 01:52 PM
they are ALL as bad as each other.. ALL gets FIRST OUTSTANDING price, top medal for sheer sadism and sadistic cruelty on poor helpless animals to test out their pointless and gruesome experiments ..
God.. I hope they don't have or keep pets of their own..God forbid!!.. we all konw what is their favourite hobby or pastime is don't we??
yes..torturing animals..
Posted by: YF | April 7, 2008 03:29 PM
They're all awful, in my opinion.
But if I had to pick one, it would be Arthur Weber.
What he does to cats its just sickening.. how could anyone be so cruel?
Posted by: Jenna | April 7, 2008 08:38 PM
Whenever I read about this kind of depravity i get sick to my stomach thinking how much these poor animals suffered. These bastards must be trying to make Josef Mengele look good. They are disgusting,sick beings. I cant even call them human
Posted by: Chicago girl | April 8, 2008 02:54 PM
But seriously, how are these people going to be stopped? This must stop.
Posted by: tracey | April 8, 2008 04:40 PM
These people would have fit right in with the Nazi butchers during WWII.

Let's make contact with an alien race and tell them we have the PERFECT research subjects for them... ;-)
