Although the discussion has been based around the eco arsonists, there should be time given to the ALF. Their response is to something much more direct and easily understood. There are hundreds of animals, including beagles and monkeys, killed everyday for unecessary reasons. Why are those deaths acceptable, while the nonfatal retaliations of the ALF is seen as the highest threat of terrorism? There is a great imbalance between how the scientists at OHSU are being treated, and how the ALF members have been treated. Who gets to decide that the lives of those animals are meaningless, while the hummer that the scientist drives is worth 20 years in jail?
