Animal Rights Terrorism on the Rise in U.S.
Fox News ^ | 6/3/2009 | James Osborne

It was 4 o'clock in the morning when David Jentsch, a neuroscience professor at UCLA, awoke to a loud bang and the sound of his car alarm. He hurried to his bedroom window and saw the orange glow of his new Volvo luxury sedan burning in his yard.

He suspected immediately that it was the work of animal rights activists.

"Enough of my colleagues had been attacked that I had a feeling they were responsible," Jentsch said about the March 7 torching of his car. "Two days later the Animal Liberation Brigade took credit for it. The irony of the whole situation is that no one had ever approached me about my research before, not one harassing e-mail or phone call."

Over the past 18 months, there have been at least 39 criminal actions undertaken in the name of animal rights, according to data compiled by the Foundation for Biomedical Research, an advocacy group for researchers. That represents a significant rise from 2006 and 2007, when there were only 25 incidents.

Hey wait. You have not yet been in for your brainwashing session. It is MAN MADE DISASTER. NOT! Terrorists all deserve the same treatment as far as I am concerned. Domestic or foreign.

Fighting for animals’ rights/freedom is like f&&&ing for virginity.

That’s what the Left says when we go to war for another people.

It is also like an abortion doctor killing in the name of life.
