Just how dangerous are the animal rights people? Read these two articles and you ...well, you won't believe this!

"A letter from PETA was sent Thursday to expo officials asking for the cancellation of the event, scheduled for October in Madison. PETA hopes the disease that has crippled much of the livestock industry in Britain comes to North America because animals would be spared a trip to the slaughterhouse, wrote Bruce Friedrich, the group's vegan campaign coordinator.
That raised the question of whether PETA is encouraging agroterrorism and suggesting its members should intentionally bring the highly-contagious animal disease to the United States."
And from another group, not PETA:
"A group in Sweden calling itself the Animals' Liberation Front says it has poisoned meat in nine Stockholm supermarkets as part of a protest over meat-eating at Christmas.
The TT news agency says police are taking the threat seriously, despite no poisoned meat being found in any of the city's stores.
The agency says the claim has been made in an anonymous letter left at its offices along with a package of lamb.
TT says it has also received an anonymous telephone call claiming the action.
A similar threat was issued in November against a supermarket in the city of Uppsala to the north of Stockholm, but no poisoned meat was found on that occasion."
