I think those people are doing the right thing. They should stop hurting these poor animals

I think our maker will judge us on the way he left us with animals to protect. It's that simple. Abusers beware of his wrath.

agree. don't really know much about the case, but i wholeheartedly denounce the practice of animals being maimed, hurt or destroyed in testing

may perpetual nightmares ruin the sleep for those who willingly and knowingly engage in such inhumane behavior as intentionally causing pain

i don't agree with harrassing employees. you don't get your point across by breaking laws. they should be introducing bills in congress and alerting consumers, not attacking people trying to make a living

This should prove that there are thousands of animal lovers out there and we will stop and nothing to put an end to Animal abuse.

There is an old Indian proverb that says, "When we die, we have to cross a bridge to get to heaven. Standing at the beginning of the bridge are all the animals that we have met in our lives. THEY are the ones that get to decide who crosses over." If this is true, and whose to say it isn't, these killers have NO Chance. GOOD!!!!

I agree with Adam's comments. If you want to make a point, do it peacefully and lawfully. It's hypocritical to threatan humans to protect animals.

Whoa! Has anyone seen this Animal Enterprise Act? This Act, passed in 1992 as an amendment to US Code Title 18, describes the following acts as "Animal enterprise terrorism":

"(1) travels in interstate or foreign commerce, or uses or causes to be used the mail or any facility in interstate or foreign commerce, for the purpose of causing physical disruption to the functioning of an animal enterprise; and

"(2) intentionally causes physical disruption to the functioning of an animal enterprise by intentionally stealing, damaging, or causing the loss of, any property (including animals or records) used by the animal enterprise, and thereby causes economic damage exceeding $10,000 to that enterprise"

Penalties include fines and imprisonment for up to a year. Who did Big Pharma and the Big Research Universities pay off to get this little nugget passed? Was there any debate? If not, there's time now to debate whether acts like calling someone (which could be prosecuted under this language) constitute "terrorism" and should be punishable by a year in prison.

If peaceful protest is considered terrorism under the US Code, then what exactly does this little buzzword mean anymore?

Protesters are just attempting to get their point across. If it means harassing employees, then so be it. They are just standing by what they believe in. If these employees don't feel some sort of remorse, why should the protesters?

I think they should have hung them.

Intimidation, harassment, the use of posture and words to threaten has always been the way of socialist, unionist, and the new PC police. Bruna should have learned in 2nd grade that nothing justifies placing threats on other citizens because you have a point to make. It is criminal to threaten, either directly or by posture that results in a threat being conveyed. The legal system is the civil method. When faced with force, stand tall and resist and PC police, all citizens of any view should reject threats as a means to "get your point across"
Respectfully.

I do not agree with animal testing...but harassing employees smacks of the type of folks I see outside abortion clinics harassing staff and patients. In our ecomomy-these folks just are glad to have a job. Take the fight to the stockholders-they profit more than and common employee.the dollar is a mighty bargaining chip.

Get a grip! Products for human use need to be tested so they don't hurt PEOPLE! Animals shouldn't be abused, but they aren't PEOPLE, they're ANIMALS! I need to take some of you liberal whiners out hunting and get you to face reality!

SHAC activists? How about SHAC terrorists? Do a little Googling and read up on these terrorists before commenting. These terrorists have gotten away with murder over in the UK where they have more support. But here in the US, especially after the terrorist acts they pulled when the research company was trying to get listed on one of the exchanges, they can expect and will serve serious jail time for every terrorist act they commit. And they can expect many of their co-conspirators to turn them in for consideration of shorter jail sentences.

The UK may have wrist-slap laws for animal rights terrorist organizations, but here in the US, SHAC, ALF, Earth First and other terrorist organizations posing as animal or environmental activists will all eventually be serving very long jail times in a cell with a partner named Bubba.
