Compassionate Hero or Zealous Terrorist?

Re “Accidental Hero” (May 10): Animal rights terrorists have stolen or destroyed tens of millions of dollars worth of taxpayer- and consumer-funded equipment, supplies and animals. Jonathan Paul’s refusal to provide the court testimony with immunity concerning one such felonious incident does not make the illegal acts of those he protects legitimate.

Animal rights terrorists seek to force the majority of Americans to adopt their extreme views through a combination of illegal activities and slick PR.

Jonathan Paul compares the animal rights movement to the civil rights movement and anti-war movement. He couldn’t be more wrong. We ‘60s folks changed the world in the streets and at the ballot box, not skulking in the dark.
