Animal activism in the time of a pandemic - II.

[Michael Oberdorfer]

Americans for Medical Progress (AMP) reports that animal activist groups have initiated campaigns to obtain documents from research organizations regarding their animal research protocols.  The intention of these groups appears to be efforts to publicize, among other things, euthanization procedures carried out in the course of these experiments. These and other procedures involving animals are highly regulated and these actions by the activists appear to be attempts to harass researchers and their institutions who are trying to develop drugs and vaccines for COVID-19.   What's next?  

In response, AMP has created a password protected section for researchers on their website.
