BTW, when I was a student at Johns Hopkins University, some animal rights nuts broke into a building on campus and "liberated" all the laboratory rats and mice from their cages. This ruined millions of dollars worth of research and set back efforts to find cures for cancer and other diseases by several years. One of my professors was literally in tears because of the damage done to his life's work - helping people.
