When Zargonians Attack

The FBI is investigating two firebombings targeting University of California, Santa Cruz scientists as the latest in an outbreak of attacks against UC researchers who experiment on animals...

It forced the man, his wife and two small children to flee out a second story window as the house filled with smoke. The family then managed to escape down a fire ladder from the window, according to police.
Too bad he didn't have a rifle. I wouldn't mind mounting a few Zargonian heads on my wall.

Here's the thing about experimenting on animals: Forget humans for a second. How would you develop a safe and effective pet medicine without clinical trials? How many more animals would die if the research was stopped?

The most ridiculous counter I've heard to that is to use computer modeling, that is, freeze the database of knowledge to where it's at.

I think the preferable, and certainly more satisfying solution, is DEATH TO ZARGON!

Well, the ALF is likely anti-pet too.

And my, that Jerry Vlasak talks tough, don't he?

You're right, Oldsmoblogger--they're "animal companions."

Vlasak--isn't that the pickle that goes crunch? (I know, "i" and "c")I may just start a "snap into a slim jim for Jerry day".

Crunch? Yeah, that's what the marketing says...in my experience, they're just really sour and go more like "squish" than "crunch." I prefer Claussen, myself. ;-)

coincidentally, crunch is the noise a human skull makes in the jaws of a bear. but hey, they make great companions! in fact, i'm pretty sure you can train them to sort your trash for you.

They should go to China and tell them not to put dog back on the menu after the Olympics. The ChiComs are the ULTIMATE "Do as we say -- or are you an organ donor?" society.
This is attempted murder, and should be responded to accordingly. "A rat is a cat is a pig is a boy," but which of these can take out their attacker at 50 yards with a handgun?

The solution is obvious -- call the Middlemen!

Middlemen -- fighting evil so you don't have to!
