This is an interesting first person article, about a woman who is an animal activist, ie, likes animals and believes that they have a right to exist in this world. And yet, some would brand her a terrorist. Granted, if she blew up a building to “save” the animals, that might border on terrorism. To say nothing of the fact that she’d be killing all of the animals in there.

But she does make a point. People are throwing around the word terrorist at anyone and everyone. The words seems to be losing its meaning. Anyone who disagrees with the current administration faces the danger of being labeled a terrorist. I mean, will nurses going out on strike soon be considered terrorists, because they’re not sucking up to the hospital bureaucracy? Will someone who sues a healthcare facility for malpractice also be labeled a terrorist?

They’re animal advocates, not terrorists

Let’s stop bandying the word “terrorists” around and restrict its use to “those who engage in violence.”In the current political climate, anyone who disagrees with the present administration is branded a terrorist. Just because I care about the welfare and fate of animals doesn’t make me a terrorist. It makes me an animal activist, if you will, or an animal advocate or simply a decent, compassionate person.
