Absolutely no difference – whatsoever – between the behavior of the KKK at its peak and the antics of the "animal rights activists" of today. None.
SANTA CRUZ — Firebombs were intentionally set on a porch and in a car belonging to two UC Santa Cruz researchers in separate incidents early Saturday in what police have classified as acts of domestic terrorism.
Police are calling one of the bombings an attempted homicide.
In one incident, a faculty member's home on Village Circle off High Street was intentionally firebombed at about 5:40 a.m., according to police. The residence belongs to a well-known UCSC molecular biologist who works with mice. He was one of 13 researchers listed in threatening animal rights pamphlets found Tuesday in a downtown coffee shop.
In the second incident at about the same time, a Volvo station wagon parked in a faculty member's driveway on Dickens Way on campus also was firebombed, police said.
The family was home at the time of the firebombing and the victims, including two young children, escaped on a fire ladder from a second-story window, according to police. One family member suffered injuries during the escape and had to be hospitalized briefly, police said. That bombing is being considered an attempted homicide because the family was home, police said.
There were children in that house. Over the use of mice to try to save human life.
Mice, humans. Not at all the same thing, folks.

UPDATE: The FBI is now investigating the attacks as acts of terrorism.
One struck the home of assistant biology Professor David Feldheim on Saturday morning, forcing him to flee with his family. The other exploded just a few minutes earlier, gutting a car parked outside the campus home of a second researcher.
Later, Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies went to the home of a third researcher who received a threatening telephone message, but officers found no explosives.
More than 50 investigators, including some from the FBI's regional terrorism task force, are looking into the attacks.
Good comparison to the Klan, Gaius. Both groups are essentially terrorist.One thing that strike me about this: the incredible ego of such people, to think that their cause is so important that they have the right to break the law, indeed, to take human life. All sense of proportion is completely lost.
You have to see this link to the Press Office of ALF.http://www.animalliberationpressoffice.org/
this is from one of thier press releases:‘Pet’ stores are one of the preferred businesses of animal traffickers, and by being directly or indirectly related to them they are accomplices in incarceration, depression and the madness of these beings who were trapped in their natural habitat, placed behind a showcase, snatched from their families and deposited in small prisons for the selfishness and greed of the degenerated monkey
this behavior is not tolerated in the monkey world.
