Targets of animal rights

Now this is something that really pisses me off. I will talk about this on my next podcast. Tell me what you guys think. To me this seems really similar to gay bashing.

Targets of animal rights group tell tales of terror

NEW JERSEY One woman said she received an e-mail threatening to cut her 7-year-old son open and stuff him with poison. A man said he was showered with glass as people smashed all the windows of his home and overturned his wife’s car. Many others said they were besieged by screaming protesters outside their homes at all hours, deluged by threatening phone calls, and sent pornographic magazines they had not ordered. The trauma that employees of Huntingdon Life Sciences and other companies say they experienced at the hands of radical animal rights advocates is on display during the federal trial of a Philadelphia-based group and six of its member son domestic terrorism charges. The trial continues in Trenton this week. Many targets testified that the harassment made them look over their shoulders when walking or driving, change their phone numbers or even move, and keep their kids from playing outdoors; it prompted several to buy guns. Sally Dillenback broke into tears as she recounted an anonymous e-mail that threatened her 7-year-old son.” The person asked how I would feel if they cut open my son, Brad, and filled him with poison the way Huntingdon does with the animals,” Dillenback said, breaking into tears. “That was devastating for me to see something like that.” The animal rights group Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty notes that its members are not charged with carrying out any of the illegal acts described in court, and denies inciting anyone to break the law. It says its activities were all legal and protected by the First Amendment. WAYNE PARRY Associated Press
