At least this is an issue about which most of our leaders can agree: Stopping animal rights terrorism. All except Dennis Kucinich, that is. He apparently doesn’t know the difference between peaceful protest and threats to kill, bombing, identity theft, vandalism, physical attack, and the other myriad forms of “free speech” in which animal liberation terrorists engage.

Now that tertiary targeting has been targeted—the bill will soon be law—the real work begins. This fight is ideological. People have to be convinced that there is a huge difference between promoting animal welfare and asserting animal rights. If that crucial job can be accomplished, the liberationists will lose their financial base and their cover of hiding behind animal welfare-type actions. Let the education begin.
