All Ross cares about are the repercussions IF someone has been killed in this attack? Not that if they were killed it would be MURDER. Killing animals in the name of research is SCIENCE. They are not killed wantonly but to find cures for diseases that affect both humans AND animals. MURDER vs. SCIENCE. Got it?
Two young children were in the house?
Whatever happened to these attackers' sense of forethought. If those two children - if anyone - perished from the attack, it would have surely turned their cohort of sympathizers against them. And if the other attack (the car bomb) resulted in a forest fire - and this is certainly the season for such a result - then the entire campus could of have been destroyed and who knows how many people could have been seriously injured. I attended UC Santa Cruz (Class of 2005), and never did I ever even hear of people like these. These attackers - if caught - will end up in a seemingly similar fate as those whose attention they tried to draw. Fight disease, not medical research!
I wanted to see what the fuss was about, I found this. I didnt know this went on at US universities. kinda sad, but I dont think violence is the answer,but I agree the animal abuse must stop.
"UC Berkeley's YANG DAN uses 70 CATS, 950 rats, 48 ferrets, 200 mice and 200 hamsters per year. Supposedly performed under sufficient anesthesia, Yang Dan's cats and other animals are paralyzed with a drug, a hole is drilled in their skulls"
