Im all for animal rights and I completely understand how easy it can be to become irrationally passionate about the subject.

This will is certainly extreme but I wouldnt say its bordering terrorism. I actually think her idea is quite clever as it will get alot of publicity and create alot of discussion.

Back in the day I was an active Animal Aid member and although i calmed right down, when student ideals were swallowed up by the reality of everyday life, I still have alot of sympathy for people who work endlessly for the rights of animals.

You're right about how the message is relayed though. Ramming opinion down peoples throats is no way to get things changed and certain extreme members of groups like PETA need to learn this.
