Animal rights group targeted UCLA professor

10:04 a.m. July 13, 2006

LOS ANGELES – The Animal Liberation Front tried to attack the Bel-Air home of a UCLA primate researcher with a “Molotov cocktail,” but left it at the wrong house, an FBI official said.

The ALF said in a statement it had left a bottle filled with a flammable liquid on the porch of Lynn Fairbanks' home in Bel-Air on June 30.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the bottle had actually been left at the home of a 70-year-old neighbor.

“According to arson investigators, they believe that, had the device functioned properly, the inhabitants would have had a very difficult time escaping,” she said.

On its Web site, the ALF claimed Fairbanks was keeping monkeys to study “psychological, psychiatric and social problems such as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, substance abuse, criminality and violence.”

University officials said that description misrepresented Fairbanks' work.

I hope the feds lock up these eco-bastards and throw away the key. The eco-terrorists are beginning to resemble the drive-by gang-bangers who just unload their bullets into a crowd hoping to hit their rival. Don't expect any apologies from ALF for the mistaken address. They hate all of humanity equally.

They'll be back. And they won't make the same mistake.

There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people who "love Nature" while deploring the "artificialities" with which "Man has spoiled 'Nature.' "
The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of "Nature", but beavers and their dams are.
But the contradictions go deeper than this prima-facie absurdity.
In declaring his love for a beaver dam (erected by beavers for beavers' purposes) and his hatred for dams erected by men (for the purposes of men) the "Naturist" reveals his hatred for his own race, i.e. his own self-hatred.
In the case,of "Naturists" such self-hatred is understandable; they are such a sorry lot.
But hatred is too strong an emotion to feel toward them; pity and contempt are the most they rate.
As for me, willy-nilly I am a man, not a beaver, and H. sapiens is the only race I have or can have. Fortunately for me, I like being part of a race made up of men and women, it strikes me as a fine arrangement and perfectly "natural."

Heinlein was one of those rare writers who had a gift for not only writing good science fiction but a rational political philosophy as well.

He was the master IMO.

Thanks for the posting the quote.

Prison is too good for them. They should reveive the same punishment as was meeted out to the "Enlightened Protectors of the Earth" in the last chapter of Tom Clancey's book "Rainbow-Six."

Read it and smile at the thought.

The little bastards are too loosely organized. They're a bunch of like minded twits, not a disciplined gang. Put a bunch of them together with a can of gasoline and you might get a lab on fire, or they might put it in the tank so they can go to the Phish show.

Earth Liberation Front is the same way. If a bunch of them run into each other and decide to so something, they do it. They may never see each other again; they may live hallway across the continent. You have to catch them in the act, or you may never find them.

Good quote. Heinlein was the best philosopher since Mark Twain.

Fairbanks should release the monkeys and take the ALF freaks to 'study'.

Comments: BRAVO! ALF ROCKS! God bless the Liberation for defending those who cannot speak for and defend themselves.

"The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different." ~Hippocrates

Animal Rights Activists (ARA) stand for peace, love, justice, family, freedom, equality, compassion and mercy for ALL; we stand for a healthy environment, one to be preserved for our children and future generations.

The day will come when Animal Rights Activists and the entire nation will be witness to all animals living free, without fear and suffering, as God intended. One with us...as our brothers Not as property...not as a meal.

Again, God bless you all, and EVERY ARA, like myself, who believes that ALL non-human animals have rights.
- The RIGHT not be classified as someone's PROPERTY
- The RIGHT to be free from abuse
- The RIGHT not be used as an experiment
- The RIGHT not be used for food
- The RIGHT to companionship and love
- The RIGHT to live in a safe environment
- The RIGHT to satisfy our basic physical and psychological needs

I have no problem with Mr Vlasick and his kind being used for medical research

In my opinion the animal rights "movement" is the result of isolating people from nature and raising our kids on fairy tales and cartoons. Their idea of animals is a fantasy world that they are trying to impose on the real world; and like the muslim extremists they believe their cause is so noble that they should use violence to further the cause. Turn off the TV and take your kids fishing and hunting. Show then the real world.
