Do you know of it being otherwise? ELF is labeled a terrorist organization, and I bet that label didn't go into place by FBI until after 2000. If PETA supported them after they were labeled terrorist org, then you have a case against PETA.

From the FBI's 1999 Terrorism in the United States Report:

Quote:

Six terrorist incidents occurring in the United States in 1999 were attributed to an extremist movement known as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). Combined, these attacks resulted in financial damages (primarily to medical research facilities) totaling more than three million dollars. Two acts of terrorism were attributed to a distinct, but increasingly related, movement known as the Earth Liberation Front (ELF). These attacks resulted in the complete destruction of an 8,000-square-foot office complex in Monmouth, Oregon, and one million dollars in damage to the Agricultural Hall at Michigan State University in East Lansing. Each of these ALF/ELF attacks remained under investigation at year’s end. Despite the significant property damage resulting from the attacks, none of these incidents resulted in human casualties (two of the ALF attacks led to the deaths of lab animals).

They were labeled a terror organization long before Sept. 11. They are not interested in education, they are interested in destruction. It is only a matter of time until they kill somebody.
