animal activism and terrorism: bad bedfellows

Disturbing for so many reasons:

CBC article, from The Associated Press, about an animal activist branded by the FBI as a terrorist.

On a less scary note ... (?)

TVOntario's Agenda program is taking up the issue of "Animals and the Law" tonight. It seems to be looking at the contradictions (and, perhaps, irrationalities) of human animal relations, from farm animals, pets, and property. Will it accomplish anything with this? I highly doubt it, but I'm glad people are talking about it.
