Are vegan extremist the equivalent of Al Qaeda?

Question

As we all know, the Bush administration now treats vegan extremist groups as they would Al Qaeda. Last year, the FBI deputy said vegan extremist groups—along with the ALF and an aggressive animal-liberation outfit called Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty—the nation's "number-one domestic terrorism threat.

Folks, that is pretty serious. Does anyone have any advice on how we can protect ourselves from extremist like this?

Answer 1

Hello fake FHG! If I were in your shoes I'd be *much* more concerned about what the *real* FHG has in store for you!

Yes folks! We have now entered the realm of the *truly* absurd!!

This is NOT the real FHG!!! The real ones account date is from last August!

Now I understand why, unlike the real thing, you keep re-cycling old stale FHG material! It's because you're nothing but a cheap impostor.

BTW; Isn't impersonating another user considered abuse under the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines? Aha, yes it is!!

Edit:

Hey Cowboy Bill, I'm not a vegan (but I'm close); care to come out to the range with me sometime? I'll let you choose either metal silhouette at 1k or skeet. In either case I'll eschew the long guns and use my Python to give you a handicap ala golf.

Answer 2

If you don't harm other living, feeling beings, you won't have to worry about any vegan "extremist" groups. That is 100% protection. Plus you'd be doing something good.

By the way, isn't it funny that an administration which is responsible for an unnecessary war that has claimed tens of thousands of lives is branding the ALF (an organization which has not killed any body) a "terrorist" organization? How about the fact that killing 10 billion animals a year (often after keeping them in miserable conditions) is legal business, but attempting to save those animals is "terrorism?"

Blind obediance and lack of critical thinking skills are the "number-one domestic terrorist threat," not people freeing animals.

This is true, here in the UK we have had Glass and many other dangerous foreign objects put in our baby food as well as toxins by injection into Milk powder

All this done by animal rights nutters,

I used to live in the country and the hunt would go past in the field next door and the amount of times we would see these so called animal lovers pick up bricks and batons and attack the huntsmen as well as the horses!!!

It was and is terrible what they do, we also had a mink farm near us which was one night let out the entire stock of mink needless to say the next morning let alone for months after we were finding dead badgers and livestock over, until eventually most if not all the mink were killed because they were destroying our natural wildlife, so pretty pointless wasn't it beating the poor security guard to within inches of his life!!!!

I agree this people are no better that a terrorist

Answer 4

Why do you trivialise people's beliefs and experiences with this question? My guess would be some sort of superiority complex- you seem to think its acceptable to compare people with compassion to people who feel they have to use terror, fear, intimidation and danger on a massive level to make their point. I think you're also disrespecting the people who have lost friends and family because of the actions of Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda are a real group you know, they have killed real people, and ruined the lives of many more. But apparantly you'd rather use that situation as some sort tool for provocation on a questions forum that a lot of people find genuinely helpful and useful, it seems in order to gain some kind of attention.

If you turn the news on today, you'll probably find a story of more people killed through terrorism, which might not necessarily be Al Qaeda. You could ask another question, perhaps comparing them to people who follow a macrobiotic diet, or maybe people who are gluten-intolerant. Perhaps there'll be a car bomb, and for your own amusement you can ask another question around the distress of the families friends and community affected by that situation. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Answer 5

Pity you didn't get more than a couple of weeks into the course! You seem to have fooled a few though! By the way, I' m really worried about being reported to yahoo & as to the "online watchdog" ohmygawd!

Answer 6

Oh get a life and stop with the made up questions.What exactly is your problem?Did you once date a vegan and she dumped you?

For any newbies:

Foxhunter has loads of similar sounding alias's and is a total liar.He hates vegans and vegetarians for some reasons so he comes up with weird questions (and sometimes answers) intended to make them sound stupid.Only problem is they make HIM sound stupid.

He claims he is one of a handful of meat-eaters in a mostly vegan town which is incredibly unlikely.He also claims they all pick on him.

Answer 7

"Folks, that is pretty serious. Does anyone have any advice on how we can protect ourselves from extremist like this?"

I agree, we need to take steps to protect ourselves from extremists like this 'George W. Bush' and his ideological neocon warpig buddies.

Time to take out the trash.

Answer 8

Extremists of anything are a problem, however I don't think you should stop their voice. Without the minority groups speaking up most of us wouldn't be aware of what is going on. Also alternatives wouldn't be researched. Violence is not the answer to anything. I think you should ask yourself why you feel threatened. I don't...

Answer 9

Wear a tin foil hat and go and live in a nuclear bunker for at least 45 years!!! Don't EVER use the internet again , I heard that they use it to track you down!!!! I'm quite sure they will never bother you ever again!!!

Answer 10

I don't think a paste table is a terrorist threat, to be honest. You eat vegetables with your meat, don't you? Grow up.
I don't convert others to my way of life. Why should you?
