| Sweden: Animal rights activists sabotage infectious disease centre |
| 2008-08-25 |
| A group of 50 animal rights activists forced a gate at the entrance to the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control(SMI) in Stockholm on Monday morning. Institute staff were able to prevent the activists from entering the main buildings. The activists damaged a gate and then tried to force their way into the main building of the institute at Karolinska University Hospital in Solna at around 8.30am on Monday. "Staff managed to lock the main entrance so that the activists were unable to enter the building," said police spokesman Björn Engström to newspaper Dagens Nyheter. The activists then made their way to St. Eriksplan metro station. Police followed the activists and identified the offenders who are suspected of criminal trespass on a protected site and criminal damage. Metro services were temporarily interrupted at the St.Eriksplan station to prevent the activists' escape. |

| #6 I think the scientists are missing a bet, here. They could concoct the story that they were genetically engineering a shrew gene into a bacteria, to understand "what turns an ordinary shrew into a ravenous, carnivorous predator with poisonous saliva." And the animal rights people were exposed to the bacteria when they broke in. So they should see a doctor immediately if suddenly they have an intense craving for raw meat, or if their saliva becomes poisonous to others. |

| #5 perhaps the staff was too quick to lock the doors; maybe they should have waited until the new labrats got in and all the staff got out....just sayin. |
