1. Disgusting.
As a cat lover I am appalled. But, also as a cat lover and a Democrat -- it's something people need to be reminded of over-and-over. Frist kills cats.

7. Agree with you on both
Twisted, yet it is hard to help not doing it. Good job.

5. He wrote in his book
That while at med school he'd go to animal shelters adopt cats and practice his craft on them. They all died of course.

8. In Frist's autobiography, he wrote that he would go to the
local animal shelter and tell the people there that he wanted to adopt cats for pets. Then he would take them home and treat them like pets for a few days, then he would do medical experiments on them and kill them. He said that he was a little crazy then...

He told the story himself in the book.

6. When he was in medical school, Frist would get cats from the shelter.
He would then take them home and operate on them.

10. The sickest thing about Frist's medical school hijinks
is that if the cheap bastard would have been upfront about this with the animal shelter workers, they would have worked with him.

All medical school students dissect things--worms, frogs, small mammals then finally humans. Most students buy their specimens from a company that collects, kills (or buys euthanized specimens from shelters, in the case of dogs and cats) and preserves animals for use in education. But these are expensive and were probably cutting into his beer money, so he needed an alternate solution.

What Frist did was to bail cats out of the pound, take them back to the lab and kill them.
If he would have gone to the pound workers and told them "I am a medical student at Harvard, I really can't afford to buy dead cats, can you help?" they would probably have told him to be at the back door at 2:30 in the morning and they'll give him all the dead cats he wants.

16. I read the book -
I just was too curious - had to know. And judging from the book, it seemed that they were only of use to him if they were alive because he would cut the hearts out while they were still beating and study them and the fact that they kept beating for awhile after they were cut out. He seemed to get a real charge out of that, the sick piece of filth...

18. you and your hubby are angels.
2 wolves? We have a haven for wolves in our area where they are nursed back to health. They are involved in a federally funded relocation program to nurse wovles and return them to the wild.

15. LOL!
Frist is one sick motherf*cker. I like how AAR's Sam Seder refers to him, rhyming his last name with "Christ."
