The creator of Animal House at last tells the real story of the fraternity that inspired the iconic film -- a story far more outrageous and funny than any movie could ever capture.

Animal House - a Guinea Pig Discusses Vivisection Animal House is an account of vivisection from the point of view of a guinea pig in an animal house awaiting sacrifice in the interests of medicine and humankind. He is initially supportive of his role in life, but gradually realises that using animals to benefit the welfare of humans is not quite as straightforward or innocent as he thought. Written in the style of George Orwell's masterpiece, Animal Farm, the book draws attention to the moral issues involved in a controversial and ongoing debate.

Ron and Jill, after six months together, discovered the house of their dreams: a landmark Victorian row house that had belonged to a notorious fraternity in Baltimore. Unfortunately, it was now a condemned, abandoned property. But Jill wanted the house and Ron wanted Jill. Beyond the wall-to-wall graffiti, collapsed fireplaces and banisters, and three dumpsters worth of trash, the couple envisioned this as their future dream home. So Ron bought the 4,500-square-foot ruin, despite the fact that neither Ron nor Jill knew anything about home renovation, and that the project might ruin them both financially and emotionally. A book for lovers, dreamers, and do-it-yourselfers, From Animal House to Our House recounts Ron and Jill’s decade-long adventure in house restoration, offering inspiration, insight, and hilarity as they hammer away at the American dream of home ownership and true love.

After an overview of the laboratory animals, this book goes on dealing with various aspects of animal care, including their accommodation, health care routine, and animal health and hygiene. The next chapters examine the components of animal diet, the biological aspects of animal reproduction, breeding and heredity. The final chapter emphasizes the legal requirements concerning anesthesia, laboratory procedures, and the issue of euthanasia.

Here is the flirty flamingo; the painfully shy armadillo; the kindly cow mugging shamelessly for laughs; the turkey caught midst his macho march; and dozens more. Cutouts of keyholes, windows, and skylights provide teasing glimpses of what dwells behind the next door, and gatefolds reveal surprising neighbours-such as the sly fox and the unknowing hen...
