摘要

Seven activists convicted of carrying out a campaign of intimidation against the animal-testing firm Huntingdon Life Sciences in Huntingdon, UK, were last month sentenced to between 4 and 11 years in prison. Hopefully, these sentences will stop future UK activists from using similar tactics, which included threats, hoax bombs, character assassination and property destruction. Unfortunately, such tactics are increasingly being used by activists attacking scientists in California, where researchers who use animals are facing threats that include doorstep firebombs. The authorities trying to deal with this problem can find much in the UK authorities' approach to emulate. First, activists who break the law must be vigorously pursued and prosecuted. At the same time, university leaders should set up protection plans for labs and researchers; coordinate with local and federal police before any attacks happen; and articulate a clear policy for students that legal protests are acceptable but acts of vandalism will be punished harshly. Second, US federal, state and university authorities need to go beyond enforcement and take an unequivocal, public stand that emphasizes the importance of animal research for drug testing and basic science - as did former UK prime minister Tony Blair. It would be especially helpful if President Barack Obama were to make such a statement.
