Animal-rights saboteurs have claimed responsibility for vandalizing the Portland home of a research scientist who uses monkeys to study the causes of premature birth in humans.
In a communique obtained by The Oregonian today, the Animal Liberation Front acknowledged striking two autos owned by Dr. Miles Novy with spray-paint graffiti and paint stripper.
"Novy's reproductive research on primates has resulted in this senseless torture of one of natures most magnificant creatures," ALF saboteurs wrote in a message sent to the Animal Liberation Press Office. "This blatant disregard for the earth, animals and it's resources shall not go unseen by the ever-watching eyes of the ALF."
Novy woke Thursday morning to find the words "sadist" and "ALF" spray painted in red on his vehicles. Paint stripper had left white marks on the cars.
"It's time to fight back," the ALF wrote. "The only reason why people like Miles Novy sleep at night is because we let them."
The ALF, described by the FBI as one of the nation's leading domestic terrorist organizations, struck Novy's home in the early hours Thursday as the scientist and his family slept.
Novy is the second research scientist at OHSU's Oregon National Primate Research Center to have his property vandalized by the ALF this year. Last July, the group struck the home of Dr. Eliot Spindel, who uses monkeys to study ways to block fetal damage caused by pregnant smokers.
The Animal Liberation Front claimed responsibility for spray-painting Spindel's Lake Oswego garage door with the words, "ALF eyes on you!" And in an anonymous e-mail issued through the Animal Liberation Press Office, the saboteurs threatened that if Spindel did not quit the "torture industry," their next attack might include firebombs.
Dr. Jerry Vlasak, a Los Angeles surgeon and animal-rights activist who acts as spokesman for the Animal Liberation Press Office, said his organization supported attacks such as those on Novy and Spindel's homes.
"We support anything that works to either liberate animals or inflict economic sabotage on anyone who profits in any form or fashion from abusing animals," Vlasak told The Oregonian.
Officials at the Oregon National Primate Center said the Hillsboro facility, home to 4,200 monkeys, is a well regulated facility that takes care of animals and minimizes their pain and suffering to the best of their ability.
"A lot of what comes out of this place alleviates human and animal suffering," said Michael Conn, the acting head of the primate center's animal services division. "We think most people are going to share our outrage in these kind of (ALF) activities. This is just completely unacceptable."
Hopefully the FBI is all over this supposed surgeon like glue

Here we go again ping!
Ping!
We could send ALF members to Iran for IED testing.
Wow! Even their tactics are carbon neutral.

Amazing isn’t it.
Before GW became president, these vile terrorists were admired by Jake Reno and the Clintoons.
As you noted, many are in jail or headed to jail.
Elect the Hildebea$t, we will see the return of these vile creatures as heros.
Sounds like Dr. Jerry Vlasak has found some new useful idiots ?
If we started treating radicalized leftist revolutionaries as radicalized leftist revolutionaries according to the methods proven successful in treating radicalized leftist revolutionaries, this sort of thing would get a hella lot less trendy most rikki tik.
Yep, he’s found some more it seems but he has to be the biggest idiot.
Exactly right, that’s what should be done but not holding my breath.
Where is the FBI on this fool ?
They must have enough on him and Pamelyn Ferdin by now.
Let’s reserve extreme penalties for extreme crimes, okay?
The Beast gets elected, it wouldn’t surprise me to see her pardon the ones with longer sentences.
That name looked familiar, and sure enough, his wife is child movie/TV star Pam Ferdin. Check out her home page:

You'll surely recognize her if you're older than 40. She's nuttier than her husband (if that's possible).
I’ll bet environmental/PETA wackos have homes, too.... -Wb
