Preferred term
animal rights movement
Definition
- By the 1980s, both the FBI and Scotland Yard viewed radical animal rights organizations, such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), as domestic terrorist organizations. Indeed, animal rights activists in the United States comprise one-third of what are called “special interest” or “single issue” terrorists, a category that includes antiabortionists and radical environmentalists.
