Animal Rights Extremists Coerce Researcher to Quit
A UCLA neurobiologist was subjected to such intense harassment and terrorization, that he has told the Animal Liberation Front, "You win," and agreed to stop doing any research with monkeys. This is a terrible victory for terrorism. If we don't work harder to protect our scientists from such coercion, necessary medical and scientific advances will be hindered, and much human suffering remain unalleviated.
Industries that make proper and humane use of animals had better wake up. Animal rights are not just political opponents, they are enemies. Some are willing to resort to coercion and violence to get their way. Only a strong response by law enforcement and industry will be sufficient to stem this very real threat.

Is there any reason we don't just use Animal Rights activists in these experiments ? By their own admission they are only animals, so it isn't like they think we have any special obligation to treat them as more than that. If they take their position seriously, surely this is not too much to ask. If they don't want us experimenting on animals that can't consent, why don't they step up and take the plunge. We can be sure to test them according to the strictest guidelines.
