Love SHAC: Animal rights' champions in trouble

It all depends on whom you believe: Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty or the FBI. The citizen group in question is a bunch of radical animal rights' activists who strongly object to the work done at Huntingdon Life Sciences, an animal testing lab in New Jersey that uses vivisection and other harsh practices. For some of its actions, SHAC USA was punished via indictment under the Federal Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, and its has become an interesting case with which to test yourself. Who should back off? If your answer is "The Man," check out the "SHAC 7 Benefit," which features screenings of videotape made inside the company's labs, a presentation by SHAC-er Jake Conroy, and desserts — vegan, of course. Wed., Jan. 11, 7 p.m. Humanist Hall, 390 27th St. (at Broadway), Oakland.
