Radical Animal Rights Groups Step Up Protests - NYT

The incidents have not tailed off, even since Sept.

11: a firebombing at a federal corral for wild horses

in northeastern California; a fire at a primate

research center in New Mexico, and back-to-back

break-ins in Iowa, one at a fur farm to release more

than 1,000 mink, the other to free pigeons raised for

research.

All the incidents occurred in the last several weeks,

and loose-knit groups like the Animal Liberation Front

or the Earth Liberation Front have claimed

responsibility. While many mainstream protest groups

have scaled back their activism since the terrorist

attacks, radical animal rights groups have not.

poor marks for serving too much meat and not enough

greens, a survey by a doctors group found.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine said

the city school lunch program failed to offer

vegetarian entrees.

Overall, the survey gave the Board of Ed food program

a lackluster C-minus.
