I would not characterize the (animal) activists who are terrorists as
'people who care about puppies'.

// The Justice Department is a militant animal-rights organization,
founded in the United Kingdom in 1993 and also active in the United
States. It has claimed responsibility for hundreds of attacks in the UK,
which The Independent has called "the most sustained and sophisticated
bombing campaign in mainland Britain since the IRA was at its height."

// The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is a name used internationally by
animal liberation activists who engage in direct action on behalf of
animals. ... The ALF has been described as a domestic terrorist threat
in the UK,[9] and in January 2005, it was named as a terrorist threat by
the United States Department of Homeland Security.//

// The Animal Rights Militia (ARM) is a name used by animal-rights
activists willing to engage in direct action that might endanger human
life.//

// In September 2006, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed the "Animal
Enterprise Terrorism Act",//
