Line 132:
* As an excuse to quit the [[Scenery Censor]] around Mariska Hargitay's pregnancy, an episode of [[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]] had Benson going undercover with eco-terrorists for an off-screen arc.
* An episode of the British medical drama ''[[Casualty]]'' which would have begun with a Muslim carrying out a suicide bombing was rewritten so that the bombing was committed by [[Animal Wrongs Group|animal rights extremists]].
* Real life: [[The Netherlands|Dutch]] politician Pim Fortuyn was strongly opposed to what he called "political Islam" But he was killed by a white university-educated [[Animal Wrongs Group]].
* Subverted in ''Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.'' The three hot chicks claim to be from an extreme animal rights group and recruit Jay and Silent Bob to liberate an animal research facility, but the mission is really a cover for a jewel heist.
* Real Life examples: A number of groups have been labeled eco-terrorists by various government organizations for their bombing of medical research facilities, sending death threats to medical researchers who work with animals, arson attacks against the homes of researchers and corporate execs, sabotage and vandalism against development and logging machinery, and attacks on commercial fishing nets and vessels.
