Yesterday I mentioned the ongoing protests and actions taken by animal rights activists in Great Britain where activists almost succeeded in shutting down Huntingdon Life Sciences. Today Ananova reports that animal rights activist Charlotte Lewis, 28, will spend the next six months in jail for her actions against HLS.

Lewis sent at least two threatening letters and mailed them to employees of HLS. Forensic scientists managed to match her DNA with DNA found in the saliva residue on the back of stamps that Lewis had used to mail the letters.
