In the latest sign of a federal crackdown on animal rights activists, the FBI has arrested two people accused of freeing mink and other animals from fur farms and vandalizing property linked to the fur and meat industries. Joseph Buddenberg and Nicole Kissane were charged under the 2006 Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, which elevates crimes like vandalism to terrorist offenses if they threaten industry profits.
