Dear Editor: I read the article regarding the appointment of a special prosecutor to look into whether scientists should be charged after sheep died in University of Wisconsin experiments, violating a Wisconsin law that prohibits killing animals by decompression. I believe this law was enacted due to the excruciating pain animals endure when put through this procedure. It was made law for a reason. If the UW experimenters broke the law, they should be prosecuted. They are not above the law. The fact that they even think that makes me wonder how many other laws are broken due to the autonomous feelings such experimenters have.
