Animal Rights Activism ≠ Terrorism

Peaceful animal rights activists are contesting the provisions of the 2006 Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, arguing in court that the law's provisions conflate terrorism and nonviolent animal rights activism.  Several individuals have already been charged under the law, although other types of protesters have received no special targeting.  One prime example are pro-life activists who have been found to be responsible to a number of murders, kidnappings, bombings, assaults, as well as arson.
