Animal activists treated as terrorists in US

The SHAC7 are 6 activists and a corporation, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA Inc., that have been found guilty of multiple federal felonies for their alleged role in simply campaigning to close down the notorious animal testing lab, Huntingdon Life Sciences. The six individuals are all currently in federal prison. They are not accused of actually smashing windows, liberating animals or even attending demonstrations, rather reporting on and encouraging others to engage in legal demonstrations and supporting the ideology of direct action.
The website doesn't have a link to the case itself, so it's hard to independently evaluate what's being said. I did watch the video taken inside the lab. I couldn't get through it - I stopped it and went to hug my cat.
i got half way thru and had to stop cuz i thought i was going to be sick...
