As a number of newspapers have recently pointed out, the animal rights terrorists hardly paused at all after the 9/11 attacks to resume their criminal ways. While People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other groups at least temporarily decided to tone things down, the Animal Liberation Front and Earth Liberation Front have continued their methods of arson and property destruction designed to intimidate those working in animal enterprises.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Alexander Chancellor hit the nail on the head in describing the sort of people who continue to wage this war of terrorism,
Animal rights spokesmen claim that such actions constitute neither violence nor terrorism, but are aimed at saving the lives of animals and will continue until animal “blood stops spilling.” Such people have always been much less concerned about the spilling of human blood, which may explain why they not allowed the thousands of deaths on September 11 to affect their behavior.
Well put.
