Megan Twohey’s July 24 article in the Journal Sentinel (“The protesters next door”), which described Rick Bogle’s protest of research at the National Primate Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was full of irony while missing several important points about medicine, the use of animals in medical research and the animal rights movement.
….Wisconsin scientists should be celebrated for their contributions to human and animal health. They and their families should not have to face threats from animal rights extremists. And they should not have to read articles in the Journal Sentinel that glorify extremists who support the use of violence against them.
