\nVia my friend and fellow ScienceBlogger Janet over at Adventures in Ethics and Science<\/a>, I’ve heard about some absolutely disgraceful antics by an animal rights group. To be clear, in what follows, I’m not<\/em> saying that all animal rights folks are scumbags: I’m pointing out that there’s a specific group<\/em> of animal rights folks who are sickening monsters for what they’re doing.
\nThe background: There’s a neurobiologist named Dario Ringach. Professor Ringach used to<\/em> do research using primates. Back in 2006, when he did that, animal rights targeted him, and his children<\/em>. The did things like vandalize his house, put on masks and bang on his childrens windows, and protest at his children’s schools. Professor Ringach disappointingly but understandably gave in, and abandoned his research in order to protect his family.
\nFast forward a couple of years. Last week, Dr. Ringach, along with Janet and several other people, participated in a public dialogue<\/em> about animal research at UCLA. Dr. Ringach spoke about why animal research is important. That’s all<\/em> that he did: present an explanation of why animal research is important.
