Why: Animal Rights NOW! is holding a demonstration to protest the animal testing facility on campus. Members of ARN! have tried to contact employees of the facility, but they have ignored our requests for information and refuse to meet with us. Though NAU has said that students’ tuition does not go directly to animal testing (they like to call it “using animals for research”), our dollars DO go to pay for equipment, chemicals, and the salaries of these “scientists.”
To throw a little fuel on the fire, I suppose, a faculty member of NAU contacted the boss of one of the ARN! members (the same one I’ve been talking to recently about an article for December) and said this person is a threat to the university and should be fired (and that these views were shared with Pres. Haeger). So there will be increased security, including police. All this for an animal rights protest on campus? What are they hiding?
Come support ARN! and show NAU that we DEMAND answers.

Not hiding anything. Just not taking a chance that any of you whack jobs will do something stupid. We know and remember what your earth first friends did and are capable of. Oh, yea, I mean the ones that are locked up in prison now.

Just a correction J.P., since I’m paying attention right now– one of the Earth First guys, the organizer, William Rodgers, is dead. Another got three years and is out now, happily writing a memoir. She’s a very nice woman, and I anxiously await her book.
I’m not advocating eco-terrorism here, just asking that when you evoke the name of an irrelevant and unrelated organization, you at least know the facts.

Let me guess what her memoir will be titled, “The life and times of a convict looser hippie” I am sure it is destined to be a best seller!
As far as William Rodgers goes, he was the biggest looser of them all. A worthless excuse for human life. The only thing he did good in life was kill himself and save the American tax payer a lot of money.

Probably better to be a looser than a tighter, I’d imagine.

Looser!
