An East Bay biotechnology company succeeded Friday in getting a restraining order against an animal rights group. The order, obtained a day after the Emeryville-based Chiron filed papers in Alameda County Superior Court, prevents members of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA from committing or threatening to commit violence against Chiron employees or their family members. It also bars the group from harassing Chiron employees or their family members, and vandalizing or trespassing on their property.
