For more see Brian O'Connors Animal Crackers blog.... _http://brianoconnor.typepad.com/animal_crackers/_ (http://brianoconnor.typepad.com/animal_crackers/) Yes, indeed, see more. Brian O'Connor's site should be required reading for all of us at least once a week. Dr. O'Connor is an early retired former professor of cell biology and anatomy, who first encountered the animal rights movement while researching how the neuromuscular system protects joints and therefore possible treatments for osteoarthritis. His research managed to escape trashing by ARistas, but he woke up to the horrible possibilities when a good, decent animal welfarist in his community was badly victimized by ARistas. Hence his website, which is researched with all the rigorous discipline of a good scientist. His information is verified six ways from Sunday, nothing speculative, and his opinions are not wildly thrown-out, but based on his rigorous research into AR activities. Besides all that, he writes very well and even spells and punctuates correctly. For anyone who still needs to be educated about the AR movement, this is the best website around. There's tons of links to other well-researched essays on the site. Dr. O'Connor thinks if the main players--PETA, ALF,ADL, HSUS,IDA et al.--can be fully exposed, the heart of the AR movement can be killed. People just need to realize the sham the whole movement is to stop supporting it and call for its burial.
