While HLS officials say they've become immune over the years to much of the intimidation and abuse, they refer to some SHAC activists as "loonies" who are "comparable to football hooligans." Lynn Sawyer, a midwife and SHAC activist, finds such characterizations laughable. "I've never met as many nurses and teachers and social workers and people who work in public health care as I have in the animal-rights movement...
