Yesterday students had to evacuate the UCSD med school due to a bomb threat by some crazy animal rights activists. Neuroscience conferences have to have security guards due to problems with protesters. This is ridiculous if you ask me. Yes, some research is very cruel to animals but it's not done just for the hell of it. It's to HELP humans, perhaps save lives. Imagine what our world would be like if no one had ever tested on animals. We'd know a fraction about the human body that we know and we'd almost never be able to find new cures without the possibility of harming humans. Animal testing in the name of science is necessary and though I hope I never have to test on animals, I'd do it in a heart beat with the hope that maybe one day it would lead to a greater understanding about biology and neuroanatomy. So all you hippies and animal rights activists, go fuck yourselves. And when you find yourself sick and in need of medicine, know that all those fuzzy little creatures were tested on to make sure YOU survive. Is it cruel? Sometimes. But it's NECESSARY.

I hate hippies and protesters. I don't care what you are protesting (animal testing, abortions, war) you're wasting everyone's time and getting in the way. For once do something productive and shut the fuck up. Mind your own god damn business and let me get back to my research.

I could continue but I'll spare you. That's enough ranting for now. Go science!!
