Animal Terrorists Strike Again


In an anonymous e-mail sent to fellow activists across the country early Tuesday morning, Revolutionary Cells described the explosive used at Shaklee, a company that sells health, beauty and household products, as a 10-pound ammonium nitrate bomb "strapped with nails."

The same group has taken responsibility for attacking Chiron's office building on Aug. 28 with two pipe bombs filled "with ammonium nitrate slurry with redundant timers." Revolutionary Cells said it is trying to put Huntingdon Life Sciences, a New Jersey research firm that experiments on animals, out of business by harassing its clients. Chiron, and Shaklee's parent company, Yamanouchi Consumer Inc., have both subcontracted with Huntingdon to have medicines tested on animals.

Matt's Chat

I believe that the administration should consider turning loose the Bush Doctrine (you're either with us, or against us in the battle against terrorism) on these kinds of groups as well. They are terrorists and it is about time they are treated as such.

Mark's Remarks

I could not agree more. They need to quit hiding behind the peaceful protesters and equate these maniacs with the terrorists they are....I am sorry....if it came between finding the cure for cancer or not testing on a rabbit, that rabbit is toast. I love animals, and I am all for their humane treatment, but we cannot destroy lives, liberty and property in terrorist acts the way these morons have.
