 Never once did any volunteer of SHAC doubt that at some point the FBI would take keener than comfortable interest in our national efforts. Never once did we fool ourselves into believing that to the extent we have all rattled the cages of the vivisection industry there would be no consequence. Not for one single minute did any of us hold out any faith that the federal authorities would crack down on the pervasive and twisted animal cruelty that happens everyday inside of every animal testing lab - instead of on civil dissent. We expected every single day from the start that the FBI would raid our offices and our personal lives and this is exactly what happened on April 23rd, 2003.
