The FBI is investigating two firebombings targeting University of California, Santa Cruz scientists as the latest in an outbreak of attacks against UC researchers who experiment on animals...Too bad he didn't have a rifle. I wouldn't mind mounting a few Zargonian heads on my wall.
It forced the man, his wife and two small children to flee out a second story window as the house filled with smoke. The family then managed to escape down a fire ladder from the window, according to police.
Here's the thing about experimenting on animals: Forget humans for a second. How would you develop a safe and effective pet medicine without clinical trials? How many more animals would die if the research was stopped?
The most ridiculous counter I've heard to that is to use computer modeling, that is, freeze the database of knowledge to where it's at.
I think the preferable, and certainly more satisfying solution, is DEATH TO ZARGON!
