Neuroscientist Halts Research to Stop Extremists
FleaPlus writes "UCLA neuroscience professor Dario Ringach, known for his contributions to our understanding of how the visual system processes information, has been forced to give up his experiments by the actions of animal-rights extremists. Although he and his family had endured harassment and vandalization by animal-rights activists for years, Ringach reconsidered after extremists tried to firebomb a colleague's home and accidentally left their Molotov cocktail on an elderly neighbor's doorstep. Ringach sent an email to animal activist groups saying, 'You win... please don't bother my family anymore.'"
That would be too good. Better would be to use them for the experimentation that they deem unfit for animals. Everybody wins!
I too have felt the cold finger of injustice.
...I am going to torture 25 monkeys to death. Just for fun. Not for science, just good old fashioned fun.

I wonder if monkey tastes good... watching those videos while hungry was probably not a good idea.

Time between when the story was posted by the editors and someone blames bush.... 19 minutes.
Is that a new record?
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be the name of a store, not a government agency.
I'm going hunting tomorrow morning. I don't care for what. I'll just take my twenty gauge and a couple of boxes of shells; go out into the woods near my house; and start the massacre.
And in the afternoon?
Fishing with dynamite, baby.
You animal rights terrorists may have won a round against the researcher, but I am a one-man animal sadist terrorist cell... and I've now been activated.
Why are you letting these clowns ruin our country?
