Eco-Terrorism & Animal Activism

Not all proponents of animal rights are terrorists! Many members of Greenpeace, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and other groups are gentle folk who just love and want to protect animals and the environment. Thoughtful analysis of these organizations as a group can help one understand, but not condone, how activists become radicalized and the logic behind some of their illegal actions.
