This article in the Herald Tribune claims that animal rights is winning out over animal research. I would take the article with a grain of salt. I've read the same on the other side.

It does nothing but make the targets more wedded to their positions and it garners sympathy from the general public. I grew up there. Full story here at the Fresno Bee.

They sent someone over right away with 2 humane ‘catch cages’. They assured us that if we could catch the kittens, they would provide medical treatment, and either find a new home or keep them in their new cattery. The Humane Society took them in and gave them medical treatment. They were FANTASTIC!!
