I can't recommend the documentary "Behind the Mask" highly enough.Written, produced and directed by animal-rights attorney Shannon Keith, this 2006 film examines why activists choose to break the law to help animals.
Certainly in light of the four arrests Friday in Santa Cruz, people -- especially those not familiar with animal liberation -- should watch this movie to get the side of animal rights that mainstream media will not show the public.
A dean at the University of California, Santa Cruz, told The Mercury News that the targeted animal experimenters were trying to cure cancer and Parkinson's disease, but there's so much more to it than that. Unfortunately, the reporters will take the man at his word and will not investigate what actually happens inside laboratories.
"Behind the Mask" shows us.
Even if the only animals you care about are dogs or cats, you need to see this film.

Saw it a few weeks ago. Great film.
This video is incredibly powerful and gives a whole new perspective to actions that may, on the surface, seem extreme.
