And they didn't actually DO anything. Their website just ADVOCATED
things like vandalizing cars and publishing addresses.

TRENTON, New Jersey - Three animal rights activists convicted under a
U.S. anti-terrorism law were sentenced to between 48 and 72 months
prison on Tuesday for a campaign to drive out of business Huntingdon
Life Sciences, a company that tests pharmaceuticals and chemicals on
animals.

A federal court judge in Trenton, New Jersey was due to sentence three
more people convicted in the case in the coming days.

The members of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty were also found guilty
of conspiracy and interstate stalking in their campaign against
employees of Huntingdon, a British company that tests pharmaceutical,
chemicals and dyes on animals.

The company, which has operations in East Millstone, New Jersey, says
on its Web site it uses mice, rabbits, cats, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows,
fish, birds and monkeys.

In March a jury found the defendants and their organization guilty of
violating the Animal Enterprise Protection Act, a federal law that was
amended in 2002 to equate its offenses with terrorism. It marked the
first trial and conviction under that law, federal officials said.

Defense attorneys argued that the defendants were exercising their
constitutional rights of free speech and had not themselves committed
the acts advocated by their Web site. SHAC said it was the victim of a
government crackdown on dissent.

During the three-week trial before U.S. District Judge Anne Thompson,
jurors heard that defendants urged sympathizers to harass Huntingdon
employees, vandalize their cars and publish the names, addresses and
phone numbers of their families on a Web site.
