Oxford Refuses to Buckle to Animal Liberation Brownshirts

More than a year ago, the construction of a new research laboratory at Oxford University was halted when threats of violence scared off the construction company building the facility. (This is an example of tertiary targeting.) That led to a 16 month delay in building the facility, and a concomitant delay in the time in which the research that will be conducted at Oxford can reach fruition to save human lives and ameliorate suffering. But now, construction has resumed. Good for Oxford for moving forward. Unlike the New York Stock Exchange, they didn’t buckle in the face of animal rights fanaticism.
