Animal Rights Group is also a Terrorist Group

[cybrsage]

Animal rights activists are taking credit for setting fire to and destroying 14 cattle trucks at California’s largest beef producing, feeding and marketing ranches.

The North American Animal Liberation press office posted an anonymous letter on its website from activists claiming full responsibility for the arson.

“We were extremely pleased to see that all 14 trucks ‘were a total loss,’ with some being ‘completely melted to the ground,’” the statement reads.


Mike Casey, vice president of Risk Management and Human Resources for Harris Farms, is confident that authorities will find the culprits.
“Those going out there and claiming responsibility, if the claims are true, we condemn these actions and those responsible will be brought to justice for what they did,” Casey said.

The statement described in detail how they were able to carry out the arson

While I understand they both love animals more than people and they want to save the planet from people like Al Gore (who continues to eat steak and wear leather even though it is going to cause the Earth to burst into flames), they are going it about wrong.

You're diluting the meaning of the term terrorist when you include people who merely destroy property.

No it's not. "The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes." That's what they did, and what they are.

Bad guys. Should go go to jail.

Maybe they think cows, like corporations, are people too.

Enviro-mentals should be returned to "mother earth" with shotguns and compost piles.

 

[PokerGuy]

They are terrorists, pure and simple, and they should be treated as such.

When would you like to begin your killing spree, because there a a few other members ahead of you in line.

What's the beef?

lmao terrorist.

Yes and this doesn't satisfy that definition. The root of "terrorism" is the use of terror, i.e. fear to achieve a political end. This is an act of arson done for a political purpose, destroying trucks to prevent their use in killing animals. It isn't intended to nor likely to cause "terror" in anyone. It's a serious felony, but calling this "terrorism" is verging on making the term meaningless.

You are trying to marginalize their actions by saying they are not terrorists.

Great, so then end goal was to cost some insurance companies some money.

They used digital timers to set off their bombs. Just a matter of luck that someone wasn't killed or seriously injured. They're political terrorists clear and simple. The full force of the FBI and the DHS should be used to find these criminals and anyone who supports them financially and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.

Exactly.

It's bad to destroy property in support of a political position, but it's not bad to murder people because you oppose their political position?

It terrifies me that these lefty/progressive assholes are out bombing trucks because they don't like people eating meat.

 

[RabidMongoose]

It may have accidentally terrorized the cows, the fire could have scared them.

Pull your fangs back. They are not Progressives by any measure, and have been pretty much rejected by most of the left as a bunch of kooks.

No they are clearly terrorists, their political agenda is to get people to stop eating meat and they attack the supply. That's what terrorists due, just like that piece of shit German who was setting fires in LA is a terrorist.

 

[bfdd]

Exactly.

I think he wants to kill them because they have so much disregard for others and their property. I mean what would you do with an unruly wolf coming in and rampaging your chicken coop? You'd fucking kill it.

Seriously?

I'm about as scared as these idiots as I am of NeoNazi militia groups. In other words, I'm not. I think the chances of getting struck by lightning twice in the same day is more worrisome then getting caught up in either of these groups violence.


BOOO!

I used to work at an animal testing lab and these people always scared the shit out of me. There were numerous high threat events while I worked there. My sister still works at this company and although I feel safer not working there, I fear for her life everyday. These people are sick, twisted fucks devoid of an ounce of humanity. They would rather kill a human being to "protect" an animal, just sick.

They can't be called terrorists however since I am pretty sure being a terrorist requires being human first. These people are the very thing they seek to "protect."
