Taser study that shocks pigs doesn’t fly with prof (AP)

MADISON, Wis. — To protest a study that would subject pigs to electric shocks, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor on Tuesday withdrew from a project she planned with the man leading the Taser research.

Terry Young, a professor in the Department of Population Health Sciences, told university administrators she would not participate in a study with John Webster, a professor emeritus of biomedical engineering.
