Good!
I'm all for campaigning for animal rights but there are ways and means that don't involve criminal acts and leaving people in fear of their lives.
Quote:
"They threatened and intimidated those who were going about their lawful business because they personally objected to the victims supplying goods and services to Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS).
"Those who have not been subject to such a campaign cannot understand how harrowing it is to be constantly on your guard against threatening letters and emails, vandalism to your home and car and even hoax bomb threats.
"Or what it's like to have your neighbours and employers told, maliciously and repeatedly, that you are a paedophile."

I can't see that they have actually achieved anything apart from giving legitimate Animal Activists a bad name..
