Animal rights activist on FBI's 'Most Wanted Terrorists' list

Why do environmentalists and animal rights activists always have to
resort to violence and crime? Scary that this guy grew up in suburban
San Francisco. Makes you wonder who he hung out with.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI for the first time has placed an animal
rights activist on the bureau's "Most Wanted Terrorists" list.


Daniel Andreas San Diego is 31 years old and a "strict vegan," the FBI
says.

The FBI announced Tuesday the addition of Daniel Andreas San Diego to
the list, hoping a burst of international publicity associated with
the move will help investigators find him after six years on the run.

San Diego, 31, may appear to be out of place on a terrorist list with
familiar names like al Qaeda's Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and
Adam Yahiye Gadahn. The "strict vegan," according to the FBI, is
charged with bombing two corporate offices in California in 2003. The
blasts caused extensive property damage but no deaths.

Vegans eat no meat or any other food containing animal products.

Authorities allege San Diego bombed facilities in Emeryville and
Pleasanton, California, because he believed the Chiron and Shaklee
Corporations had ties to animal-testing labs.

The sophisticated homemade bombs had ammonium nitrate brand explosives
and relied on "kitchen timer style mechanical timer devices,"
according to an FBI affidavit.

After both bombings, e-mails from a group called "The Revolutionary
Cells-Liberation Brigade" claimed responsibility for the acts.

Photographs of San Diego, who grew up in suburban San Francisco,
California, show a well-groomed, bespectacled man.

But the computer network specialist also sports several elaborate
tattoos. According to an artist's rendering of the body art, San Diego
has one in the center of his chest of a burning hillside and the words
"It only takes a spark" in a typewriter-style font.

An abdominal tattoo shows burning and collapsing buildings, while his
back features a leafless tree rising from a road above buildings that
are burning but still standing, the FBI says.

Last year, agents pursued reports that San Diego was hiding in Costa
Rica. They also received a report he was spotted in rural southern
Virginia.

You're an bigot and a fool to make this statement. Very VERY few
enviros or animal activists resort to crime. I am one, and I've NEVER
resorted to crime. Far, FAR more often, the abusers of the
environment and animals commit crimes, both legally and morally, that
go unnoticed and unpunished. It's ostriches like you that perpetuate
these myths and allow the violators to keep on keepin' on.

He was taking a shot at Vandeman. Mike likes to say that because on bike
operator does a crime, then all bike operators must also be criminals. If
one environmentalist resorts to abusive and criminal behavior, then all
environmentalists must do the same.

Having said that, there is plenty of evidence of criminal activity at the
hands of environmentalists and animal rights activists ...

New around here?

Except for the shortwave radio, your "about me" is just about the same
as mine would be. We have much more in common than not. You'll catch
on though.

Mountain bikers, no doubt. They claim to be environmentalists, while
terrorizing wildlife and other trail users.

Sounds more like the guy read your web pages one too many times.

Your lack of reading comprehension skill is chilling, especially in light of
you holding a PhD.

I think the majority of Mike V's reading is the comprehensive works of
Ted Kaczynski.
