Cats and Dogs

The Health Sciences Center has ended the use of cats from a shelter in exercises on emergency medical techniques, The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported. Texas Tech did not indicate why it abandoned the use of the cats, but People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has been campaigning against their use.... Chapman University meanwhile has found a new use for dogs. The university is bringing in puppies on Wednesday, and stationing them outside the library, so students stressed during finals week can relax by playing with them, the Los Angeles Times reported.
