US animal-rights extremists firebomb scientists' home, car
- holdenk 18y agosadpanda :( Using violence to make a point about animal rights seems a little odd...
- cstejerean 18y agoI'm pretty sure some people just enjoy the violence. The animal rights is likely just an excuse.
- ivank 18y agoWhy is extremism always so misallocated?
- gukjoon 18y agoTo be an extremist, you need to be pretty damn irrational. I assume that the correct allocation would be something at least partially rational? I mean... firebombing houses is probably not going to help us find the Higgs boson.
- pragmatic 18y agoHumans are animals. Burning people with fire constitutes harming animals. Seeking to help animals by hurting other animals seems illogical. Oh wait... (Is this hacker news?)
- ia 18y agofirefox, tux, gnu, tomcat, leopard, mongrel, ocaml, hardy heron, etc. i guess it can be considered hacker news...

- Alex3917 18y agoI believe they were animal-welfare extremists and not animal-rights extremists, unless they were fighting for the vote.
- biohacker42 18y agoNice! First of all firebombing - I can not put into words the stupidity. Second, if you are going to do that why don't you start with puppy mills or factory style pig/chicken farms. Oh I know why, because these people are beyond stupid.
