Time for Animal Rights Leaders To Control the Crazies

I have a piece today in the Daily Standard on the need for “mainstream” animal rights activists to work actively to convince the crazies in their movement to stop the violence and intimidation before somebody gets killed. If that happens, I worry that what little restrain remains among the terrorists would disintegrate, leading to bloodshed. This, in turn would bring about a harsh crackdown by law enforcement, and an utter discrediting of the entire animal rights movement.
