Facebook group attacking Dal research is deleted

A Facebook group that falsely accused Dalhousie University of killing "dogs and puppies" during research work has been deleted from the website.  Dalhousie requested the deletion based on violations of Facebook's terms of service (defamatory and fraudulent information is forbidden).  Dalhousie has not used dogs in any university research in more than 10 years, and a photo used on the website was not taken at the university.  Dalhousie had been aware of the group and took action when its public discussion wall was deleted by the group owner (preventing debate).  Dalhousie News Release
