Animal Rights Terrorists: Grave of 87-Year-Old Desecrated
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
This tactic is sure to save some guinea pigs...somehow.

The grave of an 87-year-old woman whose family has been the target of animal rights protesters has been desecrated. ...Her remains had been dug up.

Her family's connection to a farm where guinea pigs are bred for research has led to a campaign against them. Police said they were investigating possible links to groups opposed to activities at the farm in Newchurch. Mrs Hammond's family has been the target of protests in recent years because of their connection with the Darley Oaks Farm.
...
Diocesan officials said the damage went "way beyond" petty vandalism. The site has been cordoned off while forensic teams carry out an investigation.

Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant said this was the latest in a long series of attacks by "so-called animal rights activists" on owners, workers, relatives and friends of people associated with Darley Oaks Farm. ..."This is the culmination of a whole series of incidents affecting the Hall family and local villagers," Mr Fabricant said on Friday.
...
The Archdeacon of Lichfield, the Venerable Chris Liley, said those responsible had "violated" a place of peace, adding: "Once that begins to happen, a line has been crossed in civilised society."

As true as ever: The philosophical underpinnings of animal rights terrorists are just as toxic and decrepit as al Qaeda's. Just as Islamic terrorists are motivated not by love of Islam, but rather by hatred of the West, animal rights terrorists are not motivated by love of animals, but rather by hatred of humans.
