Animal rights, Human wrongs.

Animal rights activists, of most kinds, earn the distain of Nutter Watch. Granted, in a humane society we don’t cause unnecessary cruelty or harm to animals, but to suggest that animal life is not far less valuable than human life is quite frankly barking, not to say an insult to human kind. It is worth the suffering of many animals to spare the suffering or death of one human- end of story.

However the activities of the extreme animal rights loons are no laughing matter. They make the lives of many people a misery. Many of these people are doing worthwhile work developing treatments and techniques that will benefit humankind. Many others have only tenuous connections to this work, such as admin staff, people who play golf with investors, or even the wife of the man who sells fuel to the farm which provides the animals to a medical research company.

A case in point is the recent desecration of the grave of Gladys Hammond, which yesterday was claimed as a victory for animal rights. Gladys was not involved in the business of animal experimentation, but the mother-in-law of a farmer who provides guinea-pigs for research. The act was as tenuous as it was sick, plumbing new depths for a group whose values aren't even worthy of the label "Nutter".
