On 7 March David Jentsch, a neuroscientist at the University of
California, Los Angeles (UCLA), had his car firebombed outside his
house by animal extremists. In response, he formed the group UCLA
Pro-Test to oppose such extremism and advocate continued research on
animals. The group will hold its first rally on 22 April on the
university's campus.

This is but an example. Researchers in CA are afraid to come out of their houses. The drug industry in NJ is much the same due to the influence of SHAC. Mink farms in the NW are destroyed. Car dealerships in CA are bombed or inventory scratched beyond repair. Whole subdivisions, under construction, are torched. In CO, tourist resorts are torched, So, which group is more likely to resort to terrorism?
