We’re almost there, folks. If it’s any consolation, this is just as unpleasant for me as it is for you, but we’ve started this thing, so we need to finish it. Last night, Kansas won a stunner in overtime to take the NCAA basketball title, but our parallel tournament to find the college with the most horrific animal experimentation program has just one last round before we can recognize the winner and go home in disgust. They’ve been through a lot to get here, overcoming an unbelievably tough field of cat killers, monkey maimers, and bunny butchers to reach the finals of this notorious event, so hold your noses and steel yourself for one last dance with the March Mad Scientists … ladies and gentlemen, you voted to see them here; now let’s crown our champion:

MSU vs. Duke

Arthur Weber, Michigan State

Arthur Weber and the MSU team have been trouncing the competition so far, and last week’s blowout of Alan Schatzberg and the underperforming Stanford brain butchers (with a score of 12 votes to 0!) has effectively silenced the doubters. Weber’s spent 25 years torturing cats by removing their eyes while they’re still alive, and given MSU’s manhandling of the Stanford team last week, anyone going up against Weber and the Michigan state vivisectors should know that, like the cats who go under Weber’s knife, they're in for a world of pain. Leave a comment below to vote for Arthur Weber and MSU to win it all.

Michael Platt, Duke

Like MSU, Michael Platt’s Duke team held their opponents scoreless in last week’s semifinal, and their 4-0 victory was more than enough to earn them a place here on the big stage. Platt brings a one-two punch to the fray that’s going to be tough to defend against—his two-pronged approach to vivisecting involves drilling metal screws into monkeys’ skulls and implanting wire coils under their eyelids. Will Platt’s technical expertise with the brain screws be enough to get him past this final hurdle? Only you can decide. Leave a comment below to vote for Michael Platt and the Duke Devils to bring home the title.

Happy voting, and be sure to tune in next week when we crown the winner and take a nostalgic walk back through some of the tournament’s highlights and disappointments.

Jack,
My vote is for the kitty murderer, Arthur Weber,
The little bastard.

My husband also votes for the kitty killer, Arthur Weber, the nasty little bastard.
Peace!

Both are disgusting. I can't believe people actually do these things to animals.

MSU is disgusting.

Posted by: Jaclyn | April 8, 2008 02:54 PM

I'd like to drill a hole in both of those bastards heads while they lay there in pain. Those sick men deserve a life of pain & suffering so they can see how they like it. Maybe have someone rip their eyes out too, just incase they thought it doesnt hurt they should have it done to them to see for themselves. Sick people in this world, I just dont understand what is wrong with people!

Weber.

Posted by: Maya, CVT | April 8, 2008 03:12 PM

Like I said in another note, whatever these sadists do to animals should be done to them! They are both horrible, cruel, sadistic, insane, so called humans. But I have to vote for the cat mutilator but the monkey mutilator is just as bad.

Posted by: Rex's Mom | April 8, 2008 03:12 PM

I had to toss a coin to choose between these two sickos..Arthur Weber.

Posted by: Maureen | April 8, 2008 03:17 PM

Weber, the bastard.

Posted by: Ana | April 8, 2008 03:46 PM

Duke.
Argh, so gross.

Posted by: Ginger | April 8, 2008 04:58 PM

I would like to see the kitty killer Arthur Weber win it all, although Michael Platt is horrible too.

Posted by: amber | April 8, 2008 05:35 PM

I vote for both!!!

....if I have to choose...I vote for Duke.

Posted by: HannaBanana | April 8, 2008 06:01 PM

Always a tough choice—both disgust me, but Weber, by a small margin.

Posted by: Mike Quinoa | April 8, 2008 07:11 PM

UGHHHH!!!!!! ME SO ANGRY !
WHAT IS WRONG W/ THESE PPL! look at those nasties..

I dont know how those animals still stay alive!!! They are so strong!

I dont know who is the bigger loser...

Weber the Wanker!

Arthur Weber and MSU

Posted by: Mariya Williamson | April 9, 2008 06:44 AM

as an MSU alum.. I have to go with Weber

Posted by: wil | April 9, 2008 08:01 AM

I vote for Weber, the shame of my alma mater.

Posted by: Heidi | April 9, 2008 11:01 AM

i hang my head in shame, once again embarrassed that i am a member of the human race. i hang my head in disgust, it's hard to believe that any individual can be so depraved and cruel, to think that these actions are acceptable. These are some seriously sick and sadistic individuals, the level of depravity here is shocking.

Posted by: vegancoin | April 9, 2008 11:03 AM

Sub-human people are cruel to animals.

Posted by: Lori from Arizona | April 9, 2008 05:17 PM

If I could, I would kill both of them right now with my bare hands.

but I vote for duke.

Posted by: Emily Mckenna | April 9, 2008 05:21 PM

I truly think that people that enjoy hurting animals have a demonic side to them. I have always loved animals and any abuse breaks my heart. To all God's creatures who can't speak for themselves, thank you for PETA!!!

Posted by: Lori from Arizona | April 9, 2008 05:26 PM

I'm stickin' with Platt at Duke.

Posted by: lynda downie | April 9, 2008 11:44 PM

Can some one do us a favour and kill these people in the way they kill animals . Then maybe they can have some experiments done on them (in the name of science )of coarse !!!! Hopefully others who do these things will learn that animals are not ment nor alive for humans to treat them like a child would treat a toy they are board with .These universities need to be brought into the open on a more grander scale .

Posted by: Michael | April 10, 2008 11:41 AM

Duke (Platt). In theory, its a more prestigious school, attracting the best and brightest students and faculty from across hte nation. If this is what the best and brightest do, there's little hope for everyone else.

Posted by: Dr. Michael J. Lynch | April 10, 2008 12:40 PM

I wonder what the ALF., think about these shit-houses.,and if any actions are taken against them. We will never know though !

Posted by: keith | April 10, 2008 01:34 PM

All of these barbarian experimentors are equally--vile disgusting piles of dung!
In the end I am voting for Arthur Weber; Mighigan State

Posted by: Pamela L. | April 10, 2008 02:32 PM

Cutting out the eyes, or just sticking metal behind them... tough choice.

But I'll have to say Platt at Duke.... horrifying.

Posted by: Marisa Hughes | April 10, 2008 02:37 PM

Both are sick bastards, and I wish that all of those involved in harming innocent creatures would undergo the same torture that these poor defenseless animals have gone through...while they're families watch. It may sound a bit morbid, but what never ceases to amaze me is that so many human beings such as these sickos, have NO regard or respect for these live creatures that have feelings, thoughts, etc. I would like to vote for both of these pervs to win the creep award!

Hell holds a special place open for both of them.

Posted by: Layla | April 10, 2008 04:17 PM

gotta go with duke on this one to me platt's MO just seems a bit worse

Posted by: Mike | April 10, 2008 04:30 PM

Both these twisted, unfeeling sickos should visit the one in the White House. Then they'd be the three stooges.

Since I can't vote for both - Duke.

Posted by: Vicky | April 10, 2008 05:21 PM

weber. It really scares me that we live in a world with people like this.how does he sleep at night??? I wonder if he honestly thinks that what he is doing is ok?

Posted by: cj | April 10, 2008 07:59 PM

I personally believe God has a special "Hell" for people who abuse animals, children, and the elderly. When I look at these losers, their eyes have no soul of worth. Toss them both. Weber should have his own place in hell for torturing cats like that.

Posted by: Amy | April 10, 2008 08:32 PM

to what end are these animals tortured? Science? Give me a break. How dumb are these so called "EDUCATED."

Posted by: Georgia | April 10, 2008 08:42 PM

Both are really sick!!!!

Posted by: Sal | April 11, 2008 06:32 AM

although both are absolutley horrible, I would have to say MSU is the worst!

Posted by: pam | April 11, 2008 08:47 AM

I vote for the bastard Duke.

But they are both equally disgusting and horrible, in the way they treat the poor animals.

Posted by: Marianne Christensen | April 11, 2008 10:51 AM

Keith,
Just go on ALF'S website.
They have a magazine called "Bite Back" and it's great.
You can find out all the wonderful things they have done monthly.

Peace!

Posted by: Judith, Freedom Fighter for Animals | April 11, 2008 11:00 AM

Judith, ( Freedom Fighter for Animals.) Thank you for advising me of the ALF site. You always come up trumps., if there is a God may he Bless You.

Posted by: keith | April 11, 2008 12:40 PM

I call it a tie! They are equally disgusting and should be persecuted. I can't believe anyone would do these things especially if they are religious!

Both are horrible beyond words. What is wrong with people?!?! I vote for Weber, but both are sickening and deserve to have the same experiments performed on them.

Posted by: Aisha | April 11, 2008 01:32 PM

i vote weber. that sick bastard. but i'm not at all pleased with platt either.

Posted by: Stephanie | April 11, 2008 01:52 PM

Judith and keith

These barbarians are sick, perverted and sadistic. They are the educated ones??? This is science???? Weber the bastard gets my vote. I really hope what goes around comes around.

Posted by: Ana | April 11, 2008 03:39 PM

Ana,
I know this sounds terrible to other people but I would love to be involved in taking out this bastard eyes.
You, Keith and myself as the Doctors.
This is just crushing.
It's horrible.

Thank you for your kindness Keith. The world is a better place because you and Ana are in it!
Peace!!!

Posted by: Judith, Freedom Fighter for Animals | April 11, 2008 05:56 PM

I always root for the underdog ie: MSU, now it looks like I am going to be forced to root for other MI team. WAYNE STATE!

Posted by: lisa mencotti | April 11, 2008 06:22 PM

I really can't understand how such people live with themselves after spending their lives torturing others.

Karma will get them...what comes around goes around and when their days are over and they are burning in hell from their actions I hope they know why they are there.

Posted by: Lisa Marie | April 11, 2008 10:20 PM

'' Thank you Ana.,'' for the thought provoking comment. Its always nice to hear an-others view : for sure, it does cheer the soul, with all the distressing animal abuse in this world.

Posted by: keith | April 12, 2008 09:59 AM

Platt. Duke are devils after all.

both are extreme acts of cruelty, thats why it's important to stand up for these animals b/c we can't possibly feel the pain that they have been made to suffer.

both of these men will get thiers, karma is a bitch and she will ensnare.

Posted by: Lindsey | April 13, 2008 02:44 PM

Humane treatment is applicable to humans as well, no matter what they have done, no matter if you agree with what they have done or not. You lower yourself by being so vengeful and malicious.

Posted by: J. | April 14, 2008 01:49 PM

THESE BOYS,NOT MEN, THEY ARE NOT MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THESE BOYS NEED TO BE FINED A BIG AMOUNT OF MONEY AND THROWN IN JAIL FOR A LOOONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHILE IN THERE THESE BASTARDS SHOULD BE SUFFERING AND DRILLED IN THERE HEADS AND TORTURED AND SEE HOW THE F#@K THEY LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO ANIMAL AND I MEAN NOO ANIMAL DESERVES THIS KIND OF ABUSE OR ANY KIND FOR THAT MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JEEZ, IT IS TAKING ALL I HAVE TO NOT WANT TO CUSS UP A STORM AND WRITE NASTY THINGS ABOUT THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Tucker | April 14, 2008 04:26 PM

J: These people gave up their right to humane treatment when they treated others so inhumanely. I strongly believe in karma and "doing unto others as you would have done to you." If you cannot show compassion and humaneness to another, why do you have the right to demand it be shown to you?? These people deserve nothing less than the same treatment they have inflicted on the animals.
