The movement took aim at the notorious animal testing lab company Huntingdon Life Sciences, which did contract work for corporations. SHAC organized a potent direct-action campaign, which, at a number of points, threatened to shutter the huge testing corporation by driving investors to disaffiliate and divest. The tactics were diverse, from spreading information on animal cruelty, to holding demonstrations, to the occasional act of property damage. In response to SHAC activity, the FBI in 2005 deemed the animal liberation movement to be America\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2019\/03\/23\/ecoterrorism-fbi-animal-rights\/\">No. 1 domestic terrorism threat<\/a>.\u00a0This, despite the fact that not a single human or animal was injured by SHAC activity in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Animal People,\u201d which is available\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/movie\/the-animal-people\/id1487585257\">on demand<\/a>\u00a0as of this week, focuses on the story of Harper and his co-defendants, all of whom were convicted under spurious charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism \u2014 though none of whom were found to have participated directly in any illegal acts. These were activists who attended raucous but legal protests, shared publicly available information about corporations on their website, and celebrated and supported militant actions taken in the name of the SHAC campaign. That is, they were convicted as terrorists for speech activity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019_shac7_Courthouse-Crew-1576105412.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9793\" src=\"https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019_shac7_Courthouse-Crew-1576105412-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019_shac7_Courthouse-Crew-1576105412-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019_shac7_Courthouse-Crew-1576105412-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019_shac7_Courthouse-Crew-1576105412.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Each member of the so-called SHAC 7 \u2014 there were originally seven defendants before charges were dropped against one \u2014 has served\u00a0their sentence and been out of prison for eight or more years.

But \u201cThe Animal People\u201d doesn\u2019t only emphasize the excesses of the corporate-state power nexus; it recalls the passionate moral commitments of the SHAC members, and reminds us of a potent protest strategy and set of tactics, which I for one would happily see deployed again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe came across the story of the SHAC indictment and prosecution as we were researching another project and the high-level narrative as we understood it seemed so draconian \u2014 six activists indicted as terrorists for free speech activity,\u201d Casey Suchan, the co-director of \u201cThe Animal People,\u201d told me. \u201cThe SHAC campaign was strategic and effective and mobilized people globally. It nearly succeeded in shutting down the target of its campaign, Huntingdon Life Sciences, several times. The story that began to emerge was one of how corporations and the government circled their wagons to stop this campaign before it became a blueprint for other activist communities to apply in their own movements.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-reactid=\"207\">\n<p><u>THE FIRST HALF<\/u>\u00a0of the film traces the rise of what seemed, at certain times, to be an \u201cunstoppable\u201d movement. What began as a series of protests in the U.K. soon spread to the U.S., as activists in cities across the country took it upon themselves to confront Huntingdon-affiliated companies and shareholders. Some of the most committed organizers spent hours on complicated research into Huntingdon\u2019s financial infrastructure, following the money to find any and every chokepoint on which to put pressure: be it the major banks and insurance firms propping up the company, or even the janitorial services contracted by a given Huntingdon lab. The information about potential targets was then shared on the SHAC website for activists to use as they saw fit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"PromoteRelatedPost-promo\">\n<div class=\"PromoteRelatedPost-promo-link-thumbnail\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"PromoteRelatedPost-promo-link-text\">\n<h4 class=\"PromoteRelatedPost-promo-link-title\">More Than 160 Environmental Defenders Were Killed in 2018, and Many Others Labeled Terrorists and Criminals<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-reactid=\"209\">\n<p>The SHAC model, as it became known, worked by making the protests personal. Instead of simply marching in front of Huntingdon property, SHAC went to the homes, communities, and places of leisure frequented by people with even secondary connections to the testing lab. The goal was to make any association with Huntingdon intolerable. Time after time, it worked: According to SHAC, over 200 affiliates abandoned Huntingdon in response to their campaign; even the FBI claimed the number is over 100, stating, baselessly, that the other companies who disaffiliated at that time had other reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand why home demonstrations and personal targeting is so controversial,\u201d Harper, a soft-spoken man with warm eyes, a round face, and \u201ccare\u201d tattooed on his knuckles, explains on camera. \u201cBut when you take a billionaire like Warren Stephens\u201d \u2014 an investment bank CEO \u2014 \u201che\u2019s got this tremendous amount of comfort.\u201d The activists then imposed themselves on the targets: \u201cEvery time he plays golf, there you are; when he goes out shopping, there you are; and when he comes home, there you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SHAC tactics were, as any radical political experiment necessarily is, imperfect. Under the campaign\u2019s banner, some activists exposed the names of children of targeted executives \u2014\u00a0 an outlier action, to be sure, but one that visibly still haunts a number of the SHAC defendants in the documentary. The prosecution also made much of the publication on the SHAC website of such information, even though the defendants had no direct involvement. (In the only incident of human harm associated with the movement to shut Huntingdon down, U.K. activists at one point\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk\/2001\/feb\/24\/paulkelso1\">assaulted<\/a>\u00a0CEO Brian Cass.)<\/p>\n<p>Skepticism also hovers around the decision to focus wholly on closing Huntingdon, given the prevalence of abusive animal testing. The idea had only been to start with the company, which had already come under public scorn following the release undercover video footage of animal abuse in their labs (parts of which are replayed in \u201cThe Animal People\u201d). The activists had planned to win against HLS and expand from there; the biochemical and pharmaceutical industry, with the weight of the federal government behind them, ensured otherwise. Huntingdon has since changed its name to the banal and faux-Latinate \u201cEnvigo.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"third-party--article-mid\" class=\"NewsletterEmbed-container\" data-reactid=\"210\">\n<div class=\"Newsletter-shortcode Newsletter-shortcode-layout-full\" data-reactid=\"211\">\n<div class=\"Newsletter-shortcode-container\" data-reactid=\"213\">\n<div class=\"Newsletter-shortcode-link\" data-reactid=\"216\">\u201cSimply because we didn\u2019t close Huntingdon doesn\u2019t disqualify the tactics,\u201d Andy Stepanian, former SHAC 7 defendant (and a personal friend), told me. \u201cThe question instead becomes: When should those tactics be deployed and with what frequency? And is it always right?\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-reactid=\"220\">\n<p>\u201cThe Animal People\u201d covers Stepanian\u2019s youthful activism, his trial, and conviction, but does not include the fact that\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2011\/07\/little_gitmo_author_speaks_to.html\">he spent<\/a>\u00a0the last five months of his three-year prison sentence inside a highly restrictive unit known as \u201cLittle Gitmo,\u201d even though he had no significant disciplinary record. Stepanian\u2019s brutal prison experience did not, however, lead him to disavow his activism or SHAC\u2019s diversity of tactics. In \u201cThe Animal People,\u201d we meet Stepanian as a doe-eyed punk kid, his car constantly running out of gas. He\u2019s now a father, the founder of grassroots nonprofit Sparrow Media, and the vice president of Balestra Media, which advises progressive communications campaigns. And yet he\u2019s no less doe-eyed, punk, or committed: \u201cThese tactics worked then, and they\u2019ll work again,\u201d he says in the documentary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Animal People,\u201d along with most every decent retelling of the SHAC 7 case, makes clear that the six individuals indicted on terror charges were fall guys in the government\u2019s scrambling attempt to put a stop to a movement, which was, against all odds, bringing major corporations to heel. \u201cCorporations get to do what they want \u2014 that\u2019s a rule in our society,\u201d Lauren Gazzola, a former SHAC 7 defendant with a robust knowledge of constitutional law, tells the filmmakers. \u201cWe challenged the right of this corporation to exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-reactid=\"224\">\n<p><u>THE STORY OF<\/u>\u00a0who gets to be a labeled a \u201cterrorist\u201d in this country reflects the ideological underpinnings behind government policy and law. Under the Animal Enterprise Protection Act, expanded in 2006 into the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, a terrorist is someone who intentionally damages or causes the loss of property \u2014 including freeing animals \u2014 used by the animal enterprise, or conspires to do so. It is an obscene state sanctification of corporate private property over life.<\/p>\n<p>Given that the aim of any boycott or anti-corporate advocacy campaign is for the targeted corporation to incur losses, the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act sits at odds with the alleged constitutional protection of those activities. Without this terror statute in place, throwing bricks through windows, freeing test animals, or spray painting \u201cpuppy killer\u201d on an executive\u2019s car would still be a crime (though perhaps still morally justifiable). Labeling these acts as terrorism served to deter activists with hefty sentences and sway public opinion during the post-9\/11 era of terror panic. The rhetorical shift justified extreme government tactics. According to investigative journalist Will Potter, who offers expert commentary throughout the documentary, at the time the FBI dedicated more wiretaps to SHAC than any other counterterrorism investigation in history. The activists were eventually arrested in their homes at gunpoint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"Pullquote Pullquote--right\" data-reactid=\"225\">\n<div data-reactid=\"227\">\u201cThe animal rights movement has really been the canary in the coal mine when it comes to modern government repression of activist campaigns.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div data-reactid=\"228\">\n<p>As I have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2019\/11\/22\/tucson-12-protest-felony-riot\/\">written<\/a>, the current pattern in law enforcement of labeling protests as \u201criots,\u201d invoking slippery statutes of collective liability, and attempting to justify harsher crackdowns are all troubling for the same reason.<\/p>\n<p>Over a decade after the SHAC trial, efforts\u00a0from lawmakers like Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to have \u201cantifa\u201d labeled a \u201cterrorist organization\u201d \u2014 despite not even being an organization \u2014 follow this frightening precedent. Meanwhile, the government\u2019s successful use of conspiracy charges in the SHAC case made clear how far that legal doctrine can be stretched, even to the point of decimating First Amendment-protected speech.<\/p>\n<p>The free speech issues at hand in the SHAC 7\u2019s case are all the more stark given the government\u2019s ongoing failure to address rampant, organized, and deadly white supremacist violence. While the courts said that the SHAC 7\u2019s speech activity met the standard of \u201cproducing imminent lawless action,\u201d organizers of the 2017 Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, explicitly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whsv.com\/content\/news\/Charlottesville-suit-seeks-to-link-online-talk-to-violence-564933812.html\">planned<\/a>\u00a0online for their vile event to involve racist, fascist violence. The Unite the Right organizers\u2019 speech, it seems, did not meet the \u201cimminence\u201d standard that was set so low in the case of animal rights supporters.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not an argument for more use of the conspiracy doctrine. Instead, it shows the importance of Gazzola\u2019s statement in \u201cThe Animal People\u201d that the First Amendment is a rule, and \u201cif the law is an instrument of power, it doesn\u2019t matter what the rules say.\u201d This was true long before the Trump era but grows ever more pernicious in the face of a government driven towards fascistic nationalism and pushing in far-right federal judges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe animal rights movement has really been the canary in the coal mine when it comes to modern government repression of activist campaigns,\u201d the film\u2019s co-director Denis Henry Hennelly told me by email. The sentiment was echoed by Potter, the journalist. \u201cThis is the new playbook for the criminalization of dissent,\u201d he told me. \u201cI\u2019ve already seen it applied to other social movements, both here in the U.S. and internationally. In the years since the trial, though, it has only become more prescient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><u>FOR VIEWERS WITH<\/u>\u00a0little to no knowledge of this history of animal liberation struggle and its repression, \u201cThe Animal People\u201d offers a compelling primer, organized through archival protest footage, old home videos of some of the SHAC 7 defendants, interviews with legal experts and investigative journalists, one smug businessman who was targeted by a SHAC campaign, and more recent interviews with the former defendants. As with any 90-minute film, the story the directors, Suchan and Hennelly, chose to tell is only one slice of an international and dispersed movement\u2019s history. But for a documentary with some Hollywood backing \u2014 animal lover Joaquin Phoenix is an executive producer \u2014 \u201cThe Animal People\u201d stands uncomplicatedly on the side of the SHAC defendants and doesn\u2019t dampen their anti-capitalist message.<\/p>\n<p>For Stepanian, this element of animal liberation and the necessary connection with anti-capitalist environmental activism can\u2019t be forgotten. \u201cIn terms of the direct-action animal liberation movement today, it\u2019s largely impotent compared to the time period of the SHAC campaign, because most messaging falls squarely in what is safe within the framework of capitalism: Much of the activity revolves around better consumer choices,\u201d Stepanian told me. \u201cI\u2019d like to see another campaign with a lens critical of capitalism, which understands that it is this socioeconomic system which rewards the worst practices when it comes to the treatment of animals as resources, and rewards rapacious attitudes towards the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film closes with a montage of uprisings, from students in Hong Kong, to the gilets jaunes in France, to Black Lives Matter activists in the U.S., and marchers for liberation in Palestine. It\u2019s a minimal gesture toward intersectionality in a film that underplays the aspects of SHAC that were dedicated to shared struggle. \u201cIt\u2019s not\u00a0OK to be singular in your solidarity; justice and liberation for all life is paramount,\u201d Stepanian told me, recalling how, prior to his indictment, he went on two organizing road trips with former Black Liberation Army member Ashanti Alston. \u201cWe are all intersectional activists,\u201d he said of his former co-defendants.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Conroy of the SHAC 7, who joined one of the road trips, comments near the film\u2019s end: \u201cIt\u2019s not just about earth liberation, it\u2019s not just about human liberation, and it\u2019s not just about animal liberation.
