Thugs for puppies

The militant animal rights group SHAC has one goal: Cripple a lab that tests (and kills) dogs and monkeys. They say they're activists. The government calls them terrorists.

    A couple of comments

    I am sort of surprised by the number of responses to this article by animal rights advocates. Did you find this article because you are regular readers of Salon, or were you linked to the article by an animal rights blog, perhaps, or what?

    I am a liberal who is not an animal rights advocate, and I have never considered animal rights advocacy to be any part of a liberal agenda, nor should it be. I suspect that most, but not all, would agree with me on this.
