The law cited does NOT apply to university professors. Show me where this law extends protection to university employees. It also states that it is illegal to post the info with intention of causing bodily harm whereas the original poster clearly stated only for people to write letters. For people still wishing to see who kills animals at Berkeley they can just check the faculty page http://neuroscience.berkeley.edu/users/ and thats not even all of them.

number of any elected or appointed official, or of the official's
residing spouse or child on the Internet knowing that person is an
elected or appointed official and intending to cause imminent great
bodily harm that is likely to occur or threatening to cause imminent

look yippie, learn to read.... your thoughtful post so insightfully cited the appropriate law, but you must not have read the law very carefully. California code, section 6254.21(b), which you quoted, says:
For purposes of this section "elected or appointed official" includes, but is not limited to, all of the following...
I guess you forgot that university professors are appointed, and forget to read the part that says that list "is not limited to" the following positions. Haha, oops.
