According to the Foundation for Biomedical Research, a handful of illegal acts by animal extremist groups in 1994 had risen to a hundred such attacks ten years later. Society for Neuroscience members reported more attacks in the first six months of 2007 than in the five-year period from 1999 to 2003, prompting that organization to release, just this past February [2008], the document "Best Practices for Protecting Researchers and Research: Recommendations for Universities and Institutions."

Animal rights advocates dispute several common practices as evidence of speciesism, which refers to the prejudiced favoring of one species, including humans, over others. Opponents of speciesism argue that all animals should be provided equal consideration under the law regardless of whether the species can serve human interests, whether the species population is threatened or endangered, whether the species exhibits cognitive ability, or whether the animal appeals to human aesthetics

Originally, the AWA only covered dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits, but was expanded to include other warm-blooded animals in 1970. In 1976 an amendment made it illegal to promote sporting fights between animals that had been transported over state or national borders, later bolstered by the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act of 2007. The passing of the Improved Standards of Laboratory Animals Act in 1985 expanded the minimum care requirements for protected lab animals beyond provisions for food and water, such as requiring the pursuit of alternatives for procedures known to cause animals pain.

The inconvenient truth is that in the long term, and for all of us, there is cause for concern. The agenda of extreme animal rightists is crystal clear: end the use of all animals as food, clothing, pets, and subjects of medical research Yet we live longer and healthier lives due to vaccinations, better drugs, and improved information about nutrition and disease prevention longer lives are the result of animal research.

We may choose to ignore the poor taste of the animal rights movement in equating the Holocaust of World War II with the raising of broiler chickens or the "enslavement" of circus animals with the slavery of African Americans in the United States. But consider this curious candor from one animal rights leader, "The life of an ant and that of my child should be granted equal consideration."

Animal rights advocates oppose keeping animals in captivity, asserting that doing so denies the animals their natural way of life and threatens their health and well-being. Thus, many oppose the use of animals for exhibition or entertainment purposes. Traveling circuses, for example, have long attracted protests from animal rights groups, which object to the treatment of circus animals during training, performances, and while in transit.
