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.
