Subject: [AntiFurSociety] RE: Oxford U student newspaper asked me to comment...
Oxford University asked me to comment on two recent ALF arson attacks against
a couple of its vivisectors' cars. I incorporated and revised some of what I
said in the LA Times about Edythe London:
Vivisection is simultaneously an animal rights and a human rights issue. Data
from one species cannot be extrapolated to another with more than 5-25%
reliability (note that simply tossing a coin would yield 50%) and explains why
no cures come down the pike for decades. It also underlies the multiple
thousands of consumer injuries and deaths each year from adverse reactions to
drugs and products tested "safe" in animals.
The experimental psychology hobgoblins are the most perverted of the lot.
Cognizant that animal abuse is the hallmark symptom of psychopathology, they
visit their darkest compulsions on animals while their dysfunctional
consciences are not pricked in the slightest by the knowledge that they are
concomitantly harming humans. They provide the incontrovertible proof that
their condition is irremediable by any recognized modern therapeutic modality.
History strives to teach us lessons that we stubbornly refuse to learn. When
legitimate grievances go consistently unheard and unaddressed, the attendant
frustration expresses itself with increasing vehemence. Every sociopolitical
movement has ultimately had to resort to violence against the oppressors or
their property as a consequence of the inescapable observation that it is the
only means to engage with those whose native cognitive and empathic deficits
render them otherwise unreachable and impervious to reform.
The Animal Liberation Front adheres to a non-negotiable policy that no life -
human or animal - be harmed during an action. The vivisectors perpetrate the
most heinous of atrocities against animals on a daily basis but solicit public
sympathy and clamor for law enforcement assistance when a little deserved
retribution finally comes their way. Like all psychopaths, they can dish it
out but can't take it.
Activists who have the guts and gumption to risk life, limb, and liberty to
stand up for sentient beings who cannot speak or act in their own behalf are
always the unsung heroes who must endure the libelous barbs of those who lack
the equivalent courage and moral fortitude. It is up to the brave warriors of
the "moonlight militia" to dispense the only justice available to creatures
whom society would arbitrarily place outside the circle of moral compassion
and beyond the reach of effective defense.

about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to
other animals as well as humans, it is all a sham." -- Anna Sewell
