The University of Missouri is a lovely Big 12 school in the Midwestern United States that somehow snuck its way into the Southeastern Conference in 2012.
A public land-grant research university in Columbia, Mo., its research includes studies such as the one that made news just recently, when university researchers purposely blinded and killed six adorable beagle puppies. The university said the killings were necessary to find the effects of topical hyaluronic acid to heal eye damage in dogs.
Aside from first-degree puppy-murdering, the University of Missouri, which is simply known as “Mizzou,” might be kind of racist.
