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.
