"Homeland Security" strikes down protesters

Choke this down:

SACRAMENTO -- Animal-rights activists are sneaking into barns to snap photos of penned-up pigs, freeing chickens from cages and vandalizing farm equipment.

In response, farm groups and rural law enforcement agencies launched a massive lobbyingeffort this year to push a bill through the Legislature to strengthen trespassing laws on farms and ranches. They did it in the name of homeland security.

Personal thoughts and biases aside (I imagine my omnivore tendencies would place me in conflict with these activists), they are not terrorists.
