ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The FBI investigated incidents last week where members of an animal rights group protested outside the Piedmont home of an attorney who works for a health-care company that performs animal testing.
Piedmont police responded to the Greenbank Avenue home of Pamela Ostroff on Thursday morning after she reported that six animal rights protesters were at her door calling for her to come outside and refusing to leave her property. Ostroff is employed by Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.
The protesters had already left by the time the first police unit arrived about two minutes later, according to Piedmont police Capt. John Hunt.
The call to police came about two and a half hours after officers took down a banner hung between a tree and utility pole on adjacent Rose Avenue in response to an earlier call by Ostroff.
The 4-by-5-foot sheet had Ostroff's name, address, telephone number and "Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty" listed on it in black and red lettering.
"You don't want the blood of 500 animals a day on your hands," the banner also read.
Hunt said officers investigating the second call encountered an FBI special agent, who had apparently responded to a call by Ostroff."
