SUMMARY: The Spence Laboratories at the University of Iowa were vadolized but no one was prosecuted for these wrong-doings. The perpetrators spilt chemicals and freed the test mice and the lab animals. These perpetrators caused $450,000 in damages to the labs and basically got away with it. Some of the professors at the University were even said to have psycological damages because of the break-ins. They feel as though they are no longer safe in the labs.

One of the berglars were discovered and were taken to court but because the young man agreed to a plead bargain, he was only given a misdeminer. Many of the professors thought that this wasn't fair enough because what they did was wrong and they are only getting off with a misdeminer.

Many of the enviromentalists were fightend of following these young mens exaples because of the long and hard hours the FBI spent on this case. Because the FBI spent these long hours, making the environmentalists afraid, made many of the Universities professors thankfull.
