The "Green Scare" refers to the federal government's expanding
prosecution efforts against animal liberation and ecological
activists, which is strikingly similar to the "Red Scare" of the
1950s. The "Green Scare" includes the cases from the "Operation
Backfire" indictments, and the cases of the SHAC7 (shac7.com), Eric
McDavid (supporteric.org), Rod Coronado (supportrod.org), Jeff Hogg,
Josh Wolf and several recent federal grand jury subpoenas.
