Jason Miller had another run-in with law enforcement last night, this time at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The local animal rights activist, who went to battle for the deer in Shawnee Mission Park last year, has turned his attacks on KU Med, which uses monkeys in some clinical research studies.
Last month, an activist in Maine created a "Wanted" poster targeting the so-called crimes of two researchers at KU Med. Thursday night, those fliers earned Miller another encounter with the cops.
Last night, Miller took a field trip from his Lenexa home to Kansas City, Kansas. For two hours, he handed out the provocative "Wanted" fliers and anti-vivisection literature on the KU Med campus and in the surrounding neighborhood.
At about 9:30 p.m., as he was walking down 37th Street, Miller says, four security squad cars pulled up.
Miller says KU Med campus police stopped him as he was crossing State Line Road. They searched him for weapons. After questioning him for 20 minutes and taking his picture, the men issued a criminal trespass warning, telling Miller he'd be arrested if he returned to KU Med property.
"Since I dared to challenge the 'we have a right to torture and murder nonhuman animals for our pleasure and convenience' status quo ... I was detained, intimidated and harassed for shedding light on the truth," Miller wrote today on the Bite Club of KC blog.
Don't bet the trespass warning will deter him. For Miller, attention from the authorities only baits the hook.

I need to admit, that out of all time I have spent on line, looking through different blogs, I have not read one as helpful and well written as this one, I do not normally comment on information sites nonetheless for yourself I felt the need to make an exception, it is definitely high quality work and altogether opposite to the drivel, which i spend much of my time on the net, reading. Appreciate it for spending some time and expending your effort to present your readers with a 1st class piece of content. I expect to be reading more of your work, once more cheers. Jane
You got my support Jason!!!
Much love to you and dont let them bring you down!!!! <3 <3 <3 xoxoxoxo
Don't expect the ACLU to help you out - they're the biggest sell outs going. They just won a victory for animal torturers everywhere with their support of U.S. v. Stevens. They made sure that pervs who like to crush animals to death with womens high heels for fun can make videos of it and sell them on the internet. Yay ACLU!
The FBI and DHS should put him on the TSA delayed or denied boarding list.
Who knows what a person like that could be up to when he gets to his destination.
Maybe he would target another university research lab with a wanted poster and verbiage that would scare the shit out of whoever he puts a picture of on it.
What if he freaks out on a plane about passengers wearing leather or eating slim jims and animal crackers in front of him?
Oh and for the anti-environmentalist out there, especially those who also claim to be Christian, God made us stewards of the Earth. We are to use it but not abuse it. So while I stand by my earlier post I just want you to know that there is no excuse for not giving a crap about the environment either.
I wish the researchers would sue him and the flier makers for slander since the fliers are designed to falsly accuse someone of a crime. And is ther actual malice? Yes there is no such crime for using monkeys in researche even if PETA wants there to be one. Also the flier could be implied to be a threat "If they don't stop we must stop them." These rabid animal rights types are just the left-wing version of anti-abortionist who kill the abortion doctors. Each may have a point. Each is protecting what they believe to be a life that needs their help but they go way to far.
And no people are not happy harming some animal that can't talk and I am all for alternatives to medical research if they can be found but ultimately I want to save human lives and if research on a monkey can lead to that so be it.
Also nature made our bodies to be able to chew and digets meat and veggies. That is why we have both molers and canine type teeth designed to rip meat. We probably shouldn't eat as much meat as we Americans do and we waste too much but name one culture that from the onset was all vegitarian not due to religion or some later concept. It's just that they found a use for every part of the animal. We are part of the food chain deal with it. If you don't want a burger or turkey sandwich or grilled salmon don't eat it but leave me mine as long as we harvest them in a responsible way.
Jason Miller is a man of principals. So Im going to assume that he would refuse cancer treatment, or any other life saving medical procedure that was developed through animal trials. Im sure he would also persuade his family and loved ones not to take part in the torture of non human animals, by refusing any life saving medical treatment since animals have been used in the development.
Then again I could be wrong.
You, Jason are a true champion legally fighting for these silent victims who have no voice.
yea Jason, thank you for standing up for animals and attempting to educate people. I believe a University should be happy to have smart caring people educating people that they should respect our fellow inhabitants on the planet and that anything else is unacceptable by intelligent people.

Abe, did your mother drop you on your head as an infant? The exact verbage that you spout as your free right to speech, HAS BEEN SPOUTED SINCE THE US BEGAN. Remember the Indians? Remember all the deer hunting days??? Remember Ted Nugent?
Are you a fucktard?
Now's the time for the oppressed to speak. You, sir, can shut the fuck up.
STRIPE SAYS: Seems like he's screwing things up for "activism" in the 913.
****
May I ask what kind of "activism" you are involved in? Are you protesting any type of social injustice, oppression of humanity, or exploitation of animals? just curious...or do you think the world is just fine the way it is....
Thank you Jason, for standing tall. God bless you and all that you do for the animals. Please be careful.
First of all, I think he may actually have been arrested for handing out flyers that torture and abuse the English language on a campus of higher learning.
Secondly, when what you are saying is inflammatory and incites others to illegal action, you aren't protected by a claim of 'free speech'. Handing out flyers that state "If they won't stop, than [sic] we've got to stop them" in this case could be construed as terroistic threatening.

Nadya, where does it say anything about this chump getting "beat to a bloody pulp"? The KU Police Department does not act that way.
If you're referring to the photo attached to this story, you obviously don't know the history of this freak.
That photo is from a protest Mr. Miller held last summer at the entrance to Shawnee Mission Park. He dumped a bucket of cows blood over his head to protest the deer cull.
Dede Woods says:
Looks like he got hit with a brick!
The picture was from an eailer protest when he poured cattle or hog? blood on himself!!
He was not hurt he was trying to make a point. Not sure he did but that was waht he was after.

What happened to FREE SPEECH? Jason Miller has every right to peacefully pass out leaflets against vivisection, and was beaten to a bloody pulp by the Kampus Keystone Kops. Who gave these thugs the right to put their hands on him? have they not heard of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights? of course, they were acting on orders from the University. I'd love to see a lawsuit here. Calling the ACLU!!!
Did the article say anything about Miller being beaten??? Detained, searched and given a no tresspass warning. NO BEATING.
Nope, all those houses are history. I believe KUMC is going to put parking lots there, but they may have other plans.
When I was in high school, you could still buy 3.2 beer in Kansas when you turned 18. The south side of 39th Street just west of State Line used to be a row of shops, including a beer store that played a large role in the second semester of my senior year. It's now KUMC's laundry and power plant.
I'm wondering how the neighborhood will look in fifty years, because I sure don't see KUMC getting any smaller.
Oh, I thought it was just houses there until a few blocks west of SLR on 37th. Hmmmm. Smells like the health care facility part of the criminal trespassing law is what they were applying then.
I guess those two people on the "poster" haven't filed restraining orders yet or Miller would have been hauled away.
Seems like he's screwing things up for "activism" in the 913.
Also, if you're on the west side of State Line Road, 37th and State Line is indeed KUMC property.
Who gave these thugs the right to put their hands on him?
Those thugs are state police officers, just like the Highway Patrol. I'd say that's most likely what gives them the right to put their hands on him. We're not talking rent-a-cops here.
It would have been better if KCK or KCMO cops jerked him around seeing as though he wasn't on KUMC property at 37th and SLR.
Hey, Miller, did you actually talk to these KU police guys and answer their questions and let them take your pic in their offices?
It's my right of free speech to encourage people to kill, eviscerate, dismember, and devour animals but I don't see you militant vegans doing anything to stand up for my right.

Freedom of speech at a UNIVERSITY has its limits when you express distain toward torturing and killing animals. Most human beings are not happy unless they torture and kill some poor little animal who can't talk, and the law supports animal cruelty.
