A day after several animal-rights militants were arrested for stealing the corpse of the grandmother of a guinea-pig farmer,
others have firebombed an Oxford University sports centre and attempted to assault a GlaxoSmithKline employee, and then issued a chilling communique:
It said: "We are stronger than you, we have more resolve than you and we never give up.
"If we have to destroy every bit of property you own we will, in order to stop you inflicting your profit-driven cruelties on defenceless creatures.
"You cannot stop us, we are free to attack you at will, whenever and wherever we choose."
Looks like, in addition to Al-Qaeda, we now have Animal-Qaeda to worry about.
