Animal Rights Terrorists Continue to Threaten

Hatred of America and the individual liberty it represents isn't the only thing Islamists and moonbats have in common. Sometimes they share tactics too.
Last week a bomb was discovered outside the home of Arthur Rosenbaum, chief of pediatric ophthalmology at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute. Some might admire a guy for trying to give eyesight to blind children. But moonbats sentenced him to death for oppressing the animals. Fortunately attempts to detonate the bomb failed.
Two bombs exploded at offices of the biotech firm Chiron in 2003. The second was timed to go off when emergency workers responded to the first, just the way Religion of Peaceniks do it.
As with Muslims, our main defense against animal rights nuts is their own incompetence. Last year, they tried to put a firebomb on the doorstep of another UCLA researcher. They got the wrong house, but the bomb didn't go off anyway.
Though they haven't managed to kill anyone yet, sooner or later these bumbling morons are going to take someone's life. Jerry Vlasak, leader of the North American Animal Liberation Front, testified to their intentions:
I don't think you'd have to kill — assassinate — too many. I think for 5 lives, 10 lives, 15 human lives, we could save a million, 2 million or 10 million nonhuman lives.
Since to a moonbat human lives are no more valuable than animal lives ("A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy"), killing people makes good sense. Especially since even just threatening to works. UCLA researcher Dario Ringach emailed Vlasak, writing "You win" and swearing off the animal research that has saved so many human lives. Vlasak responded with a triumphant press release.
The liberal establishment couldn't care less. When the cowardly New York Stock Exchange was intimidated by vandals into pulling a listing for Life Sciences Research in 2005, the New York Times didn't even bother to report it.
Maybe when animal right kooks finally succeed at blowing somebody to bits for trying to cure diseases, the Gray Lady will take note. But I wouldn't count on it.
On a tip from Bergbikr.
