If-fy Environment

If you want to live in a city with a huge commercial experimental-drug testing facility, Chandler is the place for you! Opening 2009 this facility is hired by drug companies to test their experimental drugs on rodents and dogs (beagles). They will also be importing wild primates, testing the drugs on them and then killing them. They are also permitted to take animals from animal shelters.
There is no public information about the disposal of the animal carcasses except they they will be incinerated. The City Council has no plan for testing our groundwater once these experimental drugs get into the water table. Before this company was brought here by our City Council, Chandler was the best city in the state. It's a great city except for the blatant disregard for public health by the Council.
I'm not a animal-rights nut or anything, I just can't believe this has happened to the town I've lived in since 1974. I hope to be moved out of here before this facility opens in 2009. You can learn more at protectchandler(dot)org
