Those hoping to convince the Dane County Board a citizens advisory panel should be formed to examine whether or not experimenting on monkeys at UW-Madison is humane and ethical are facing a critical vote Thursday night.
Although such a resolution was approved by the Health and Human Needs Committee on June 29 by a 5-2 margin, it stalled in the Executive Committee on July 8. So Al Matano, who is lead sponsor of the resolution, introduced a motion to withdraw from all committees, and the Dane County Board is slated to vote on this issue at Thursday?s meeting.
