Activists Claim Responsibility For Burning Down CEO’s Home
MFAH Austria, an animal rights group, has claimed responsibility for burning down Novartis CEO Dr. Daniel Vasella’s vacation home in Austria. Allegedly, these activists poured several gallons of gasoline by the entrances of the home and lit it on fire badly damaging the home. To make matters much, much worse, they vandalized the house and stole an urn containing the remains of Vasella’s Mother. The house can of course be rebuilt, but Vasella’s Mother’s remains are irreplaceable.
Animal testing is a difficult topic and I would much rather hear from you than post my own personal ideas on the issue. Many of the life-saving drugs we use today are the result of animal testing, but does that justify the inhumane treatment of animals? Thankfully, some of these terrible animal testing practices have been obsoleted by technological advances, but animal testing is none-the-less still used. I would love to hear your thoughts and please try to keep them peaceful regardless of where you stand on the topic. Here’s a video of the Novartis CEO addressing the attack.
