Abstract

Investigators in various biomedical specialties, as well as hunters, farmers, and fur ranchers, have been victimized by animal rights extremists in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries during recent years. Given the extent of animal-based burn research, in which rodents and higher mammals are subjected to burn and smoke trauma, the potential for a liberation attack by an animal rights fringe group must be taken seriously. Suggestions are given to researchers and their institutions to prevent or minimize such an attack.
