Monash Kills Protest 01-04-2008

[Tepadj]

Stupid, noisy hooligans...

[TheGeeksftw]

I think we should stop dissecting rabbits and start to dissect those who make a big deal about it .

[blu3lant3rn]

Who cares

[fitzyuc]

These people are idiots, if they don't dissect rabbits, what do they dissect? If you ask me, people who bike chain themselves to poles sound like worthy subjects.

[skulladot]

A "good course like medicine" is such a generalisation. Sorry, but not all Asian people study medicine.

How do you even know what course she is studying? Perhaps the rabbits should be spared and you and your racist beliefs should be experimented on.

[fitzyuc]

The generalisation is not that asian people study medicine, but that medicine is a good course to study.

[d3vjc183]

I'm a monash student myself and I COMMEND your actions. I honestly believe our med/ science faculty should adopt your rant "monash kills, blood spills" as our new motto to just piss you hippies off. There are more important things in society to be protesting about. Get off our campus and let us learn in peace. Your actions are futile...

Oh fyi: Rabbits aren't the only things we kill =)

[phamcd]

And the asian bitch needs to go hang out with some of her own kind lol.

No one likes a banana girlfriend. She's just upset she didn't get into a good course like medicine like the rest of the asians

[31apache48]

Your an idiot, why do you have to put race into this discussion. Grow up!

[phamcd]

Just let people learn.

These are the people who in 10 years will be treating your kid because she has cancer or some shit and you are stopping them from learning.

[Abrading1]

The way to put an end to this type of protest is to allow the police to remove these hippie's heads. A few of them killed would send a clear message to the rest of the tree huggers that this type of behavior has consequences. This group has inspired me to order a Kangaroo hide whip. People above animals always!!!!

[The111DooD]

Too many rabbits, who gives a shit. Thank god I'm not experimenting on YOU!

[VesnaK]

It's people like you who don't give a shit about anything except for your own skin, that lets this beautiful planet go down the tube.

[obscenesAINT]

Hope an alien abducts you and slits your throat fucker.

[The111DooD]

I hope you're joking you crazy fucker.

[xSharktastic]

I actually think it's a better idea to experiment on prisoners

[Voice4AllCreatures]

Here here!!!! at least then we would have a real indication on how to treat diseases etc. How long have we been testing on animals for?

We could have put murderers and rapists lives to good use and found cures by now instead of biding time whilst the government makes more money off the sick.

Our tax paying dollars are keeping those on death row in prison aint it time they put something back into the community?

[381899]

We will continue to spread the truth the government powers can monitor, they can push but we will not give in. WE WILL STOP YOU.

Because of your LIES, your SECRETS, your IGNORANCE, GREED, ARROGANCE, and most importantly YOUR HEARTLESS REGARD FOR ALL LIFE. We will spread.

[ShalloeThought]

Those guys must get tons of Pussy for their efforts. Oh Bruce ,youre so sensitive !

[selina1111]

So??? What the hell makes you think that all the things called "legal" are FINE with you??

Turn on your brain before you speak you dumb asses!

[dominichio]

It's funny how people choose to protest this when the rabbits are put under general anaesthetic and cannot feel a thing, yet they don't even give a thought to the potential hundreds of thousands of rabbits in the wild that spend their lives rotting from human engineered viruses, which should be of far greater concern than a meager 15(on that day) to an animal rights activist. Evidence of more self promoting garbage than true animal rights awareness.

[aondaatje]

You have a point. Plus at another university down the road they are doing experiments on live and pregnant dogs, but there is nothing about that.

[SweetpeaNat]

We can all only do so much, and just because there are larger battles to be fought, doesn't mean the smaller ones aren't also worth fighting. It is a fallacious argument to say that these protesters are misguided or wasting their time just because there are other issues also worth facing. You do what you can, where you can.

[aondaatje]

Although I would like to point out that killing 100,000 rabbits would do wounders for the environment while still leaving millions of rabbits out there.

[honeygirl86]

activists protest everything possible, if u think theyre missing something email them instead of sitting on here writing useless msgs. it would be nearly impossible to run around the wild collecting rabbits so they dont contract a virus. but it is possible to stop illegal classroom experiments

[dominichio]

Obviously not but CSIRO who is one of the institutes creating these viruses is literally across the road from monash...seems more worth while to protest there. Plus rabbits are pests in Australia the less of them the better, they don't feel any pain so it's alot less cruel than say the electric chair on humans, but I guess humans dont deserve a protest compared to a pest?

[nervousneuron]

These experiments are not illegal.

[aondaatje]

The experiments done in those classrooms in your eyes may be immoral but they a not illegal

[SweetpeaNat]

The issue isn't whether these animals are feeling pain during the procedure, but the fact that the procedure is taking place at all. It is a tremendous waste of life, and appalling disrespect for the rights of other species to live.

[aondaatje]

You fuckers should just be greatful they aren't experimenting on dogs or chimps. Maybe they will wise up and start experimenting on hippies.

[tristanDgrindstaff]

your lucky we "hippies" dont start fucking experimenting on you or you children how would you like someone cuting on your throw when your strapped down so you get you fucking joy out of being superior to a small rabbit? thats sad i cant wait till the day animals overthrough humanity and kill every single him alive.

[aondaatje]

Wah Wah Wah Wah. cry me a river. Everytime you brush your teeth you are killing millions of bacteria why arn't you protesting that. Your cloths are probably made by slave children somewhere in asia but thats ok as long as they are not killing rabbits. These rabbits are born in captivity and they don't feel a thing. It could be alot worse. Plus would you want treatment from a doctor who has seen a video or practiced on a living creature, i know what i would want.

[alvopenrescue]

Well if the procedure is so innocuous, offer up your first born child to have their throat cut open by third year physiology students, who are not being taught surgical techniques, but simply repeating an experiment that has been performed time and time again with a completely predictable outcome. Babies are effectively bred in 'captivity' too, and in their early years have less intelligence than rabbits. (continued next comment)

[aondaatje]

i would gladly offer up your first born, seeing as you are gonna raise it as just another hippy loser anyway

[alvopenrescue]

(continued from previous comment)

It's very comfortable to label these animals 'rabbits' or 'mice' or 'monkeys' or some other species - this way they are the 'other' - an amorphous group rather than individuals. If you've ever taken the time to get to know an animal, you'll know that every sentient individual has their own personality, a desire to continue to live and the ability to suffer or flourish. (continued next comment)

[aondaatje]

it is easy to label these animals as 'rabbits', 'mice' and 'monkeys' BECAUSE THEY ARE, YOU MORON. The reason that we are the dominent species on this planet is because we are smarter and stronger than them. (persons like yourself excluded.)

[alvopenrescue]

(continued from previous comment)

Bacteria, as far as we know, are not sentient beings, but even if they were, we would not be able to avoid killing them. When we can avoid it, we should. Empathy is humanity's saving grace - without it there would be no end to the destruction wreaked upon not only our own species but the planet as a whole. By the state of the world, it would appear we need lessons in empathy more than killing in the classroom. (end)

[aondaatje]

Without animal testing the mortality rates for AIDS and cancer would be triple what they are. We would all still be dying of TB and influenza. Is the life of a few animals worth they lives of thousands of men, I think they are.

[SweetpeaNat]

These are undergraduate students, not AIDS researchers, and the 2 hours they spend sorting through a dead rabbit's innards isn't going to do them or anyone else much good, and only serves to give them a callous and cavalier attitude towards the sentient creatures we share this planet with.

[aondaatje]

These students are not being forced to do this experiment. I know for a fact that there are 140 students doing the class, they were given a choice to watch a vid or do the experiment 137 chose to do the experiment. But the ALV didn't mention that in any of the protests because they don't give a shit about the animals all they wanna to is start shit. I am telling you right now both of the protests fell on deaf ears.

[honeygirl86]

it depends on if the living creature was u. in that case, yes

[aondaatje]

You are a hypocrit with no conviction in your beliefs. You would save a rabbits life and be willing to put a humans life in its place. You see we have created a society and within this society there are these things called laws. You would gladly murder a human being to save the life of a rabbit. Thats pathetic

[Hockeyjason]

Do you know whats pathetic, people who think there needs to be more laws against dissent. Your so called 'created society' is dying. Couldn't agree with ya more alvopenrescue; by the state of the world, it would appear we need lessons in empathy more than killing in the classroom.

[aondaatje]

Do you know what is really pathetic. Its people like you who think that everyone can all live together in harmony, skipping through the flowers all holding hands and being careful not to step on all our animal friends. You fuckers need to wake and realise that the world will never change, all the protesting and crying will only get you criminal records and nothing else.

[honeygirl86]

who r u to decide what creatures life is worth more?? of course u would say a humans... ur a human!

[aondaatje]

who are you to decide whos life is more important. door swings both ways honey

[honeygirl86]

who r u to decide what creatures life is worth more?? of course u would say a humans... ur a human!

[aondaatje]

survival of the fittest.

[Hockeyjason]

Whoa buddy...You better hope your high up in the pyramid. Because if you think you will be able to continue your high standard of living when shit hits the fan, your going to have quite the wake up call when government HAS TO turn into authoritarian state, or is takin over by a world government. How long are you going to allow economic chains to not only kill people, but also keep them from developing a decent living? YOU FUCKERS NEED TO WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT THE WORLD IS CHANGING!

[aondaatje]

This argument is about animal testing not authoritarian governments taking over the world. If what you say does happen it will be people like me who come out on top and it will be people like you who will be rotting in the gutters or in a prison somewhere so it makes little difference to me.

[Hockeyjason]

HAHAHA, people like you?? Only time will tell, who is right and who is wrong. Lines are being drawn in the sand everyday, don't think for a second that you are some all powerful independent human being. Because your not, no man is an island. Are you a fuckin police officer?? Like I said only time will tell. Hahaha GOOD LUCK, your going to need it. I don't even know why I am wasting my time on you... Your a fuckin clown, here for everyone's amusement, but only for a short time.

[aondaatje]

do you listen to yourself. "Lines are being drawn in the sand" Blah, blah, blah. You sound like a bad movie promation.

[untilallarefree]

Awesome video, well done to all you brave activists, no compromise! Until all are free!
