The AETA and what the US government is doing is worrying. One thing it means is that people prosecuted under it get doubly penalized: they'll not only serve time for the crime itself, if there is one, just like anyone else would, they will serve MORE time in addition to that for the fact that it was done for animal rights. In other words, do it because you're against abortion, you might get 2 years (for ex.). Do it because you're against animal exploitation, you might get 10 years.
