The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) is a 2006 piece of legislation that makes interference with and protest of animal enterprises, including First Amendment-protected activities, terrorism. The AETA is a frightening expansion of an already outrageous piece of legislation, the Animal Enterprise Protection Act.
To date, only a handful of people have actually been prosecuted under the AETA. In addition to Scott DeMuth, they are: Joseph Buddenburg, Maryam Khajavi, Nathan Pope, and Adriana Stumpo (the “AETA 4”), Alex Hall, and B.J. Viehl.
