Animal Rights Vs. Animal Testing

For the past three years animal rights activists have used violent attacks and threats to target University of California scientists who use animals for their research. Last month, UCLA neuroscientist J. David Jentsh found his car set ablaze outside his home. Jentsh is responding by standing up to the threats, having founded an organization at UCLA to voice support for ethical animal research and planning a pro-research campus rally later this month. Larry Mantle gets the details from both sides of the issue with guests including David Jentsch from UCLA and Dr. Jerry Vlasak from the North American Animal Liberation Press Office.
