Animal testing controversy

There has recently been some controversy with the BHF over their extensive use of animal testing in research, mostly raised by PETA much of which the organisation (BHF) has admitted was unneccesary. Should this be mentioned in the article? Beno1000 20:47, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it should be mentioned here, There are two criticisms that spring to mind.

1. The BHF fund animal research, which is controversial and should be mentioned here. (better reference than this anyone? PETA are so nutty that I don't really trust any 'facts' they present)
2. They have a lot of money flowing through them, that tends to bring out the leeches, so some of their income undoubtedly goes to private profit instead of charitable works. The latter is a general criticism of large modern NGO's.

This article reads uncomfortably like a BHF press release, rather than an NPOV encyclopedia entry, (eg. ..is leading the battle.. etc.)

Legacies

I removed a comment that the majority of the BHF funding comes from legacies, and added a link to the accounts summary in their annual report. If I read that right only 40% or so of the income comes from legacies, not a majority of it. Sorry to gripe over language technicalities, but this statement was a bit misleading.

A better phrase would be something like 'with legacies providing the largest share of this at 40%, general fund raising provides for 31%, with the remainder coming from public funding and commercial ventures.'

I believe it's better to keep it simple at this stage (unless BHF funding is in question, or otherwise noteworthy), so just providing a reference link is sufficient, anybody with sufficient motivation can follow it. But if anybody wants to expand that section, I'm cool with it too. EasyTarget 15:21, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Leagacies at 40% are a majority, if there is no other source of income that is higher than 40%, which their aren't. --aliw136 17:06, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Horowitz knows a bit

Geraldine, Teshina, Goshi, April, Alice, Cody and Liz are all miserable dwarfs with crap hairstyles, heavy-spray tans and frown much. Steffan, Audrey, Martita and Wang are much sleepy, giddy-balanced and drink to much caffeine. Véronique, Nikoletta, Thérèse and Claudette are respectively 4 work hard old women of Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ivory Coast. It is a pity that a local teenager named Toby is such a sod towards them. It is racist, drunk and a larger-lout. The female employee old and lazy, known as Dounia, not as workers female teen Saskia, Siobhan, Sorcha and called Staciea because it is a unit of Gothic work, who don't like to be there, while they use the normal hair dyeing, cheeks-red, red lipstick and eye-shadow. Dounia is unit of female work two and an abnormal and lesbian! Véronique, Monique and Raquel are giggly, giddy, vague open minded; but rather fair and honest employee women. They are in the middle of the 1920s. Kirsty is the spirit of a child young, giggling, smelly, wave-sprited and very lazy. The little ‘boy’ dose little work and is a hopeless alcoholic wreck. She is also a lesbian, likes golf and an ardent football fan full blown. When it comes to the adolescent obese and stupid, Paris-Hilton (AKA-"Hills") and Petronas (AKA-"Petra") while you're having fun, they do no work and Lark. Nicoletta is always late and cannabis on the sly with Billy smokes. Shona is a bad thing; since it is such a beast! She is so remarkably stupid; Goth filled, lazy, anorexia, teenage girl, who really crappy eye shadow (she’s lazy and has it over only one eye) and a peroxide blonde hair dyeing on hate of her giger hair. It also has the wrong mental attitude at work. She is also a lesbian. Viktoras, Askvid and Teshina are all afraid of spiders. Rachel is a former drug addict anorexia, old. Rachel dose little work because she is lazy and just a few hours per week. OK, she has a child, but as it also does for Tina and Alice. Rachel, Raquel, Racknell and Rochelle return home very early and say they are tired and bored. Mr. West is an epileptic who also sleepy to work after taking his medication. Lynn has a problem of antisocial behaviour and heavy hair loss. Lynn is a cruel slave driver who constantly gets Arnold, Lazlo and I have the most of the work, so Kirsty giggle and Lynn moaning. Desmond has a problem of smoking the chain and a metal harmonica playing all the time! Linda became mad after her hysterectomy. She is obsessed with destroying baby grows and loves Gypsy-tops. Mr. Tavernier is a thief that pencils and paper toilet on a regular basis steals. It may have also stolen deodorant Veronica, mobile phone and red lipstick. Steve is an ex-Shoemaker, who know a good shoe gloss. He grabs all those who secure heels and have a lot of fashion. Libby is retarded lesbian woman of the "Center for syndrome". She is good in the marking of tissues, but garbage sorting of damaged shoes. Angelina is economically prudent manager who loves culottes, blouses that many have of fashion, scarves, Gypsy's peasant tops and hats. Unfortunately they don't like eating puffs and profiteroles!90.244.90.90 (talk) 23:37, 25 November 2012 (UTC)90.244.87.157 (talk) 16:33, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
