stop the Regents of the University of Ca from making laws letting them harm aminals

University of California officials are backing a state bill that would crack down on recent attacks by animal rights activists targeting animal researchers' homes.

The bill, introduced by Bay Area Assemblyman Gene Mullin, would restrict public access to personal information of animal researchers, including names, home addresses and photographs, the Mercury News reports.

There would also be a criminal provision, according to the San Francisco Chronicle:

The legislation, AB2296, would also prohibit attempts to injure or intimidate animal researchers or interfere with their work, making such acts a misdemeanor punishable by as long as a year in jail and fines as high as $25,000.
