Animal rights activist Jason Miller appears to be working on another restraining order.
Miller and his fellow Bite Club of KC members have been banned
from the University of Kansas Medical Center, where security didn't take kindly to him passing out "Wanted" posters
targeting the so-called crimes of two researchers or his crusade
to end animal research. That's fine with Miller. He's taking his protests to the researchers' neighborhoods.
Last weekend, Miller and friends slipped on lab coats, stood on the
sidewalk and recited callback chants like, "we will never back down ...
until you stop the killing" and "you must understand, their blood is on
your hands." They also yelled, "Dianne Durham go to hell."
Miller posted
videos of the protest on YouTube and wrote on Bite
Club's website, "the purpose of our visit was to shame her for
torturing helpless
primates and to inform her neighbors that a monkey torturer lives
amongst them." See for yourself.
This didn't sit well with the Westwood Hills police, who aren't fans
of being filmed.
Miller's questions about his First Amendment rights almost earned
him a trip to the slammer. But he agreed to leave, so the police decided
to let him go. That's probably a good thing for him given that he's on probation
for a year after he violated
a protection from-stalking
order taken
out by Johnson County Parks and Rec director Michael Meadors during the controversial deer harvest in Shawnee Mission Park.
Miller's
protests at KU Med have earned him trespassing
tickets (he also FedEx'ed
a pig's head to Barbara
Atkinson, the med center's executive vice chancellor, and
offered $35,000 to anyone who can free the primates or end the research
-- peacefully, of course).
Despite a close encounter with the Westwood Hills police, Miller wrote that his group won't back down.
"Our
relentless campaign will continue," he wrote on Bite Club's site.
"Message to KU Med Center: We will not surrender until you stop
enslaving, torturing, and murdering our friends!"
Just a guess, but I bet Dunham files for a restraining order.

This is useful! How did you learn this stuff when you were first getting into it?
It was a vivisector - a researcher at Tuft U. - who told me " A cure for cancer will not be found , there's too much money in it "
As long as the NIH and other "philanthropists" distribute grants, gifts, financial aid to pseudo searches for cures to intractable maladies, the tortures of the innocents will continue.
Advancements in science are possible, support the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medecine in its quest for alternatives to animal use in research, check out the website of SAEN (Stop Animal Exploitation Now), get involved . Your help can guide us all toward a compassionate and healthy world . No need to rant, or curse, or insult others . Peace .
Reading these pathetic rants supporting the torture of innocent animals -- Seeing human beings who do not respect or even come close to sensing what brave people are all about who put their bodies on the line to protect God's creatures from being tortured by institutionalized animal abusers--Hearing these robotic responses of people who have never in their lives sat down to think one single thought for themselves -- These are not men. These are not women. These are not even children. Real men, real women, real children -- they all have the hallmarks of human beings. They possess compassion for the poor. They help the suffering. They protect the innocent, they stand up to the abuses of authority granted by government and institutional power and wealth, and they believe in truth. What can be said to people who are so empty they possess none of this? To what species do they belong? Out of what kind of material are they made? FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE AND THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO! THEY JUST WANDER, WANDER, AND WANDER. THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND, LOST IN A WORLD WHERE THERE IS NO SIGHT, NO SOUND, NO FURY, NO LOVE, NO COMPASSION, NO EMPATHY -- NOTHING BUT EMPTINESS FILLED WITH TRIVIALITIES, ANGER AND HATRED. OH, YOU BLOCKS, YOU STONES, YOU WORSE THAN SENSELESS THINGS!
IT IS ALL BLOODMONEY! THE SCIENTISTS (IF YOU CAN CALL THEM THAT)UNIVERSITIES AND GOVERNMENT
TELL THE PUBLIC THEY ARE GONNA WIN THE RACE FOR THE CURE. IT'S ALL PART OF THE SCAM... THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THEIR RUNNING SHOES ON YET. HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN TRYING TO CURE CANCER? GUESS WHAT? DO YOU THINK THERE IS MORE MONEY IN A CURE OR THE NEVER ENDING TESTING PHASES? WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO FIND A CURE WHEN THEY CAN KEEP YOU SICK AND BUYING THE MEDICATIONS NEEDED? HELLO? SCAM? THIS IS A BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS. ARE YOU THE WINNER?
Anyone who protests animal experiments is kinder and smarter than anyone who defends vivisection, a heartless, antiquated and misguided pseudoscience. Criticizing the quality of the demo is a failure to address the real issue. Asshat probably "works" in the "lab" and watched the good people from there.
FTP! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO VOICE YOUR OPINION TO THE COP! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN HOLDING THE CAMERA. YOU COULD HAVE CHECKED FOR THE PERMIT!
THE BEST ATTEMPT WAS MADE GIVEN THE SITUATION: ARE YOU WILLING TO SHOW US YOU CAN DO BETTER AT A HOME DEMO (WHICH IS DICEY FOR ARA'S WITH THE AETA ON THE BOOKS) WITH A SMALL, INEXPERIENCED GROUP IN A CITY NOTED FOR ITS FASCIST LAW ENFORCEMENT?
WHEN YOU WANNA COME OUT FROM BEHIND YOUR COMPUTER? WE WILL SEE YOU AT THE NEXT PROTEST!

Justin,
Compliant, unquestioning servitude to the outrageous lies perpetuated by the status quo, is the number ONE facilitator of a fascist society.
Decades ago, had those bloated, self-important asses calling themselves 'journalists' had the courage to protect the public interest [specifically the 1st Amendment], refusing their chance to lick the stinking, encrusted toenails of the blood-sucking govt/corporate/law-enforcement Nosferatus' they so admire, we might well be a progressive society today; able to champion the needs of the voiceless over the globally godless belief that money and brute force always take first preference.
Instead, thanks to a legion of unscrupulous, mediocre and soulless sycophants without moral and ethical standards, we are assured the continued hype of insanity-based propaganda, incinerating the already minuscule brains of the "right," subsisting in a persistent vegetative state. Dullards so incapable of individual thought that those--like Jason Miller--who challenge the obscene, are perennially subjected to scrutiny which SHOULD be reserved for investigating and reporting the TRUTH.
It's a sure bet that you've never been incarcerated like the torture victims within the walls of KU Med. Speaking from personal experience, there are two overwhelming emotional responses to imprisonment: A) The underlying panic that one feels from total loss of control...knowing that you're in the hands of individuals who have perfected the art of subjecting their victims to psychological and physical abuse. And B) also realizing that there's a planet full of superficial, hedonistic, twits who couldn't care less about your plight, because they automatically assume you MUST be guilty, otherwise you wouldn't be in there to begin with.
Imagine days, weeks, months and years without end, where every waking moment is dictated by those who view you as nothing more than a number. Every night spent in fear and agony, and each morning met with a new round of torments...without the possibility of reprieve.
Whether it's Baghdad's Abu Ghraib or the University of Kansas Medical Center's vivisection labs where the torture and murder are taking place, the evil being perpetuated remains identical. And those [like you] who defend that evil have the blood of the innocent on their hands. You can undermine, ridicule and trivialize the abominable treatment and slaughter of non-humans, but it will NOT be without consequences. Belief in Divine justice is not necessary in order for it to be mercilessly administered to your ilk, anymore than believing in God is a prerequisite for being born.
Take heed brother, you risk the wrath of God by supporting the destruction of His creations.
FYI -- sentient beings are not fruits, vegetables or grains and CANNOT be "harvested." Bastardizing the lexicon in order to further remove humanity from its crimes makes you a traitor to the truth and erodes every ounce of your credibility.

Why in the HELL is this cop still working for Westwood police dept.
The pitch needs to do a real piece on him!
It is illegal to reach for the camera like that!
It is a violation of civil rights-And everyone should call up the cops there and get to the bottom of this.
Animal rights=Human Rights.
That video is proof.
That was possibly the worst protest I've ever seen. the chants were terrible. how hard is it to get 6 people in unison. what a bunch of clowns.
Jason Miller is on probation for speaking his mind and exercising his constitutional rights
Funny, I thought he was on probation for vioalating a protection order and harassing some guy from the parks department.
I swear, you and Christy remind me of Squeaky Fromme and Susan Atkins.
Saw a bumper sticker the other day that said:
"Compassion is the new radicalism". the author is the Dalai Lama. Everyday I thank the universe for people like Jason Miller who have the courage and honor to fight for those helpless victims being tortured far away from the public in barren dungeons. It would be so easy to go along with the rest of the empty zombies in this country and do nothing but consume, spend and live in your screwed up little worlds, but Jason chose another path; one with meaning. He chooses to wake up everyday not trying to figure what shit he's going to stuff in his face or what slop is on the nut box, but what animals he can liberate from a hell on earth that our species has imposed on them.
The children of the corn speak again. Looks to me that the Westhill police have the impression, as do most law enforcement, that martial law is rule, no matter what the constitution reads. Jason Miller is on probation for speaking his mind and exercising his constitutional rights, that happens ya know people. Just because you are too weak and ignorant to have a mind to speak, don't attack others because they are more intelligent, civilized and empathetic than you. I really don't understand why you losers dont care that these animals are being tortured? I know, I will never back down from protecting the innocent.
Orphan person sounds jealous .He is NOT in it for fame jerk !!! WTF ? you're giving advice ? What to do to make the world a better place ?
So you have the knowledge (you say) but you yourself do nothing about it .Sounds about right .
I hope that BITCH feels karmas wrath and soon.
Blah no wonder the world sucks .
Jason ROCKS and is sooooooooooo ahead of his time .
A few observations:
1. Had we failed to turn the camera off, he would've taken it, resulting in the loss of what video we got and a legal battle to get my camera back.
2. I'm still waiting for the city of Westwood Hills to get back to me on whether or not a permit is required to do a protest on public property in that city.
3. Our demonstration was over and the rest of the group had already left (besides Kyle), so for me to push further (I stood my ground and pushed him hard enough that he took out his cuffs and was ready to arrest me before I finally agreed to leave) would've resulted in arrest and jail time for probation violation, which would have been foolish as it would have resulted in zero gain for our cause and would have neutralized me. I've already proven that I'm willing to make serious sacrifices for Animal Rights, but I choose my battles.
4. We are pursuing a course of action to rectify the violation of our First Amendment rights.
5. And we won't back down from this fight for the primates at KU Med. It's a war and one battle does not a war make.....stay tuned
Mr.Miller being is on probation-SO WHAT?
This was NOT breaking the law...
'Did anyone tell Miller's probation officer he had police contact? '
Joke?
I had police contact at the doughnut shop today...Should I call my PO?
Justin Kendall....Nice of you to report when the local police break the law.
Thanks!
But,please fix the dead links in your post.
Also,you spell check.
Thanks again!
Despite a close encounter with the Westwood Hills police, Miller wrote that his group won't back down.
Somewhat shorter Miller:
Despite having just backed down, we will not back down.
What's it called when someone tries to unlawfully grab a camera from someone else? Is that something like assault and attempted theft?
What's it called when a cop tells you to do something that's not a legal request? Is that something like intimidation, violation of civil rights and a violation of standards of conduct?
On the other hand, listening to Miller's voice quaver says a lot. Didn't he check to see if home protesting is allowed there? Didn't he check to see if he needed a permit if protesting is allowed? If he was acting within the city ordinance, there would have been no need to him to tuck his tail.
I can't believe Miller caved to the cop like that. That's just what the cops want. No video, no evidence of them coloring outside the lines in their coloring book of law.
And where did that other cop get her training? Crossing her arms? What happened to the arms akimbo stance that makes them look all big and scary, ready to pull their guns. She looks like someone's pissed off mom. I think what I watched there was a bad acting troupe trying to capture the essence of Miller's mom and his hard core dad.
Did anyone tell Miller's probation officer he had police contact?
Damn, my watch must have stopped. I was certain this fool's 15-minutes of fame were over long ago.
I suggest he and his band of toadies tie steaks and roasts about their necks and work on making the lions and tigers at the zoo into herbivores.
I suggest if he really wants to accomplish something he follow the example of Temple Grandin's work with animal husbandry.
