The lovely latest news of the Greens.

Post by The Duchess of Zeon »

Looks like they got into the cool-aid...

Or, to say it succinctly: An animal rights activist in the UK is calling for the assasination of scientists that perform experiments on animals.

This is eerily similar to the calls of anti-abortion extremists for violence against abortion doctors.

People are so fucking stupid.....
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

These guys need to realize that by tying their message to extremism, they are only damaging their own cause in the public eye. What the hell is wrong with people who want to kill others for experimenting with animals?

It's exactly the same as anti-abortion extremists. They view their targets as murderers, and they view themselves as saviours of life by keeping these murderers from committing any more murders.

Holy fucking shit these fuckers are threatening my life(even though I am only a student at this point)... And valdy's life... can we not have these bastards arrested now for inciting violence? what about SHAC? They have commited attempted murder as a group, and several other brittish groups have been linked with Mad Cow Disease outbreaks...
Vlasak has made a series of incendiary claims that will alarm moderates in the animal rights movement and reinforce claims that Shac and Speak are fronts for extremists.
They arent fronts for extremists, they are extremeists. SHAC has hounded the board of directors at Huntigton that IIRC they left the UK, and are still being attacked, physically.
Three months ago, he told a US television audience that violence was a 'morally justifiable solution'. Earlier this month, he gave a speech in Virginia in which he said: 'It won't ruin our movement if someone gets killed in an animal rights action. It's going to happen sooner or later.'
Inciting violence, have him arrested and if needed extradited to the US.

I refuse to be killed at work, because these shallow, selfish, and yes, evil fuckhead decides that the life of a god damn mouse is worth more than mine.

And of course, whle they are obviously terrorist groups, noone does anything because animal rights 'activisom'*cough terrorism*cough* is a fucking PC haven for sheep fucking hippies and vegan veggienazi people haters.

Just a bit of a nitpick with the title of the thread these guys aren’t Greens (as in members of the Green Party) who often aren't really that fused about vivisection or even really animal rights activists, they are animal rights extremists and terrorists and should be differentiated from other movements which share their some of their aims but who are fundamentally opposed to violence, intimidation and murder.

I'm normally against these types of idiots, but the other day I came across a picture of a pile of decapitated greyhounds, who'd been killed in medical labs. I have three greyhounds, and after viewing some of the other pics of what medical labs have done to the dogs, I can't say I'd be sorry to see the people who did it ending up on the receiving end of a bullet.

Why don't I take you to a hospital in Rwanda full of people dying of AIDS and Ebola and then get your opinion on this a second time?

You'd like to see people get shot because... you like dogs.

Note that it doesn't matter what precise experiments were being performed. Fuck, they could have been saving all of humanity, but that doesn't matter because Jadeite likes his three greyhounds.

I didn't say I'd like to see them shot, just that I wouldn't feel sorry for them.

I'm sorry, but that is fucking dumb. You don't even know if those dogs were perhaps, possibly, dead when they were decapacitated or not. Or how drugged up and senseless they may have been so they never felt any pain. Both of which are rather strong options. And even then, you don't know what they were working on--like I said, what if they died in the process of work on curing HIV or Ebola?

Fuck, do you even have any prove the picture is real? If you saw it on the website of one of these radical groups like this, how do you know it isn't photoshopped? I mean, sheesh, if you're going around advocating murder, doctoring photos isn't exactly a big deal.

But, oh no, let's not think, shall we? Let's react emotionally and then proceed to compound emotion with stupidity by declaring that "I wouldn't feel sorry for them". Or, in otherwords, you wouldn't care if a living, thinking human being, quite possibly with a family or girlfriend, etc, was shot in cold blood, maybe dying slowly in the hospital in a coma or some other absolutely grusome fate (that you have no proof was inflicted upon the dogs), and declare that you don't care about that, just so some dogs can live.

Assuming, of course, that killing one scientist is going to make the scientific community stop. I don't seem to recall the execution of Leon Klinghoffer on the Achille Lauro bringing freedom to Palestine, or Daniel Pearl's head being chopped off causing the whole west to convert to Islam, for that matter, so why do you think this would do anything except garner outrage at the assasins and make research labs spend more money on security that they could be spending on beneficial research?

And all this to save some dogs--who's deaths might be absolutely vital to the development of a new drug that could improve the lives of millions or save the lives of just as many people, for all you know. So let's throw away that potential accomplishment so we can commit a murder which will probably have the exact opposite effect that is intended, and you're going to "not feel bad" about that? Idiot, that's what you are, a complete idiot.

You deserve a VI for this alone, and more.

sweet, I am a biology major, who wants to do research of this sort, so these fuckers threatening me does not go over well.

How about you go fuck yourself. Seeing as I may very well be testing medications, vaccines and anti-biotics using greyhounds. I suppose you wouldnt give a rats ass if some nutjob decided to beat me to death, ob place incendiary bombs in my lab? Fuck you. The worst thing I should ever have to worry about while working to save millions of lives, is getting too attached to the dogs before I have to inject them with god knows what.

It isnt like we torture the dogs. They get treated humanly when not being tested, and if they start to suffer, they get put down.

We dont need to dumbass, they are a terrorist group in their own right.

Minor nitpick, niether of those diseases is capable of infecting dogs, we would have to use monkeys.
