Violence in the Animal Rights Movement

Interesting editorial on violent methods in the animal rights movement. Is there ever a reason for terrorism? Say, in founding a new country and throwing off the oppression of an old one, called, say, Great Britain? Or does this sort of thing really do more harm than good to the Green movement? Can you be right to do what you’re doing AND also wrong at the same time, because your cause is just, but poorly (even immorally) executed?

Also, to all government agencies monitoring these airwaves, I want it clear (if it isn’t already) that I am not in any way justifying terrorism of any sort committed on American soil, especially those that endanger lives, not merely property. Just furthering the conversation and trying to get Americans thinking, which is well within my First Amendment rights. We do still have that, right?
