PETA a "Terrorist Threat?"

[AnimalAvenger]

Found this on Facebook:

On page 4, the USDA lists PETA under the section labeled “Terrorist Threat,” listing it alongside the notorious domestic terrorist groups Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front, and Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty. ...

Really, I am not so shocked after I thought about it since it's the USDA we're talking about. I suppose PETA could be a threat to the USDA but of course not to the country.

The word 'terrorist' has lost all meaning nowadays.

Groups like PETA and SHAC are only labeled terrorist threats because the authorities are scared of their potential to create change that goes against the interests on the animal abusers who profit from the exploitation of animals. And ShadowVegan's right, it is the FBI, courts and animal abusers who should be viewed this way, seeing as they create terror through their actions, rather than those of us who object to the terror that is inflicted on the animals.

It is because the authorities are scared, yes, but there's a very specific reason they use the term "terrorist". Since 9/11 (which was an inside job, but that's a different topic), humans tend to be very scared of terrorists and terrorism. As soon as someone hears the word "terrorist", they automatically think "bad guy", "mass murderer", etc. and don't even consider who the "terrorist" really is. By labeling us (Vegans and activists) as "terrorists", governments are able to brainwash people into thinking that we are the bad guys, when using any other term would have a much weaker affect. They're taking advantage of the fear of true terrorists that has arisen recently and are using it against us. Their fear tactics are serving them well, but we will win. Vegans always win.

Dude, you need to get back on this website. Your views would convince anyone ;D.

Anyway, how can they consider PETA a terrorist organization? It (no offense) doesn't organize many protests, it leaves that to it's supporters. This country is full of ignorant people.

ALF and ELF- still. How are they imposing terror? By saving lives? Yeah, that is DEFINITELY terror coming right out of the "devil's" palms. (sorry I wanted to use that! I heard some religious person say it on the street and ever since then I've been wanting to, HAHA!)
