The constant calls, the people frightening his children, and the demonstrations in front of his home apparently became
a little too much.
Dario Ringach, an associate neurobiology professor at the University
of California at Los Angeles, decided this month to give up his
research on primates because of pressure put on him, his neighborhood,
and his family by the UCLA Primate Freedom Project, which seeks to stop research that harms animals.
Anti-animal research groups are trumpeting Ringach’s move as a
victory, while some researchers are worried that it could embolden such
groups to use more extreme tactics.
