Say something kind to Ashley Marie Chavez-Rubertt

By pharyngula on September 14, 2011.

She's an up and coming scientist, a young biology student at the University of Florida, and she has been targeted by the animal rights radicals and human-hating monsters at NIO for harassment as a "career animal mutilator". They've posted links to her email address and facebook on a page that conveniently also provides a diagram on how to make a molotov cocktail. They also declare that "She has now forfeited all of the rights that she denies her victims". Her crime seems to be that she actually listened to NIO, thought about their position and hers, and disagreed with them:

Your website seems to indicate otherwise -- look, I can appreciate what you do and I appreciate the fact you have your own opinions. Really, we need more opinionated people in the world. The fact of the matter is I myself have examined the evidence and I have already made a decision for myself.

For this, she's targeted for "Phase II", whatever that is. I don't want to know.

They've posted contact information for her, but I hope she's sensible and just shuts down that email account. These people are rabid fanatics, terrorists plain and simple.

Steven Best and "Negotiation Is Over": Closer than Best wants you to know
I've made no secret of my opinion of the animal rights movement, in particular Jerry Vlasak, a trauma surgeon who has openly advocated the murder of researchers who use animals while--wink, wink, nudge, nudge--denying that he's advocating anything. Another animal rights activist who is equally…
Students are “soft-bellied targets”
The animal rights loons are ranting again. These people are simply terrorists, as you can see in this quote from their odious website. Every time a vivisector's car or home — and, eventually, the abuser him/herself — blows up, flames of liberation light up the sky. They're quite proud of taking…
Animal rights thugs: Researchers' children are not off limits
Remember Dario Ringach? He's the scientist who has endured a prolonged campaign of harassment because of his animal research. I first heard of him in 2006, when, after a campaign of threatening phone calls, people frightening his children, and demonstrations in front of his home, gave up doing…
