Animal Activists Threaten Researchers

(Salinas, California) This is blatant intimidation.

Santa Cruz police said threatening animal rights pamphlets that were left at a local coffee shop Tuesday contained the names, home addresses and phone numbers of people thought to be involved in animal testing, including University of California Santa Cruz researchers.

The back cover of the pamphlet threatened animal abusers saying they know where they live, work and that activists will not back down until the abuse stops.

The FBI was notified. The authors of the threats are presently unknown.
