In every Movement that involves individuals, or groups of people who are extremely passionate about a cause, there will always be random acts which will raise the question of "has this gone too far?"-I think those of us who are involved in the struggle for "Animal Rights" can clearly see we have a long way to go, which may even require an acceleration of activity, far beyond what we are seeing now.

As our technology advances, and more and more video footage is made available to the public, we are more aware than ever of the many atrocities our planet's animals face. How can ANYONE watch video-footage of a terrified, fleeing Wolf, who scrambles and stumbles across ice-followed by more footage of a small air-craft proudly displaying the severed paw of this Wolf on it's runners, and not feel some amount of violent rage rise in their souls?

People who care passionately about animals come in all shapes and sizes, and not all of them share the same views. And, I have to admit that there are some Crazies out there who have WAY too much time on their hands...this combination is dangerous. But when looking at the opposition...those who abuse and exploit animals...we could concievably be looking at entire government-bodies with influential, pistol-packin' Momma's leading the charge. There are massive organizations (NAIA, being only one) who's main purpose is to preserve
