Kill A Human, Save A Rat

I don't think I'd have a problem with this formulation from, say, a rat. But when a human urges this particular tradeoff of human lives for rat lives, I have to object:

Jerry Vlasak, spokesman for the Animal Liberation Front, told the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works that killing medical researchers was "morally justified" to save laboratory animals.

He made his comments while defending a similar statement, made to the news media last year: "I don't think you'd have to kill – assassinate – too many vivisectors before you would see a marked decrease in the amount of vivisection going on. And I think for five lives, 10 lives, 15 human lives, we could save a million, 2 million, 10 million non-human lives."

Upside: James Inhofe promises greater emphasis on prosecuting these anti-human thugs.

I often wonder what these ALF/ELF animal-wackos think when they get sick, see a doctor and are treated, esp. when they're given medication....

Do they realize where and how the medication was developed and tested?

One of the labs I used to work in actually had this poster on the door (along with some others from that foundation).

And for the record, yes, I've sacrificed rats in the name of science)

Very strange.

I once knew some ALF types. They were also anarchists. If they lived in France, they'd be rioting right now. For them, it's all about fighting the man. In other words, it's all about fighting. It's about the self-righteous certainty of being on the right side of history.

On the other side, there's no reason a sane person can't care about cruelty to animals. I don't mind sacrificing some rats to cure cancer. But do we really need to dump a bunch of the latest shampoo brand into some poor rabbit's eyes? I try to only buy "cruelty free" personal products. There's nothing anti-human or anti-science about that, and I'd urge others to consider doing the same.

Sheer stupidity. Enough said.

An old roommate of mine went off the ALF deep end, dropped out of school and shortly thereafter off the map. Right after the 'liberation' of lots of animals being experimented on, he up and vanished.

Before his disappearance, he wrote poetry for the local animal rights enthusiasts' magazine. About how he heard the screams and felt the pain and etc. etc. etc.

nice enough guy, but very creepy/intense in a David Byrne sort of way.

Justice: They didn't really steal the monkey. It was just a diversion so we could steal these.

Justice: And they're not the leaders of the C.L.I.T. The C.L.I.T is not real.

Whillenholly: No the clit is real. Its the female orgasm that's the myth.

Could we argue that killing Vlasak is justified in order to save human lives?

Posted by: El Ricko on November 7, 2005 08:54 AM

The nazis were big time animal lovers who used the mentaly handcapped,jews and POWs to conduct nasty experiments on would these jerks in that poster as well as mr vlassak prefer we do that would he be the first to volenteer?

Posted by: spurwing plover on November 7, 2005 09:56 AM

The nazis were big time animal lovers

Somehow I doubt that.

Posted by: SJKevin on November 7, 2005 11:55 AM

Actually SJKevin, the NSDAP Leadership were indeed disproportionately animal lovers and anti-vivisectionists. There's a quote of Himmler (I believe in a book by John Toland) telling his barber that after the war, he must pass a law to outlaw cruelty to animals.

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too.
I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.

1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show.
She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
