This was the first hearing on the Committee's ongoing investigation into the issue of Eco-terrorism. The Committee heard from federal law enforcement agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, who discussed the problem of ELF and ALF and law enforcement's reaction to their dangerous and destructive tactics. It is these tactics, particularly the widespread use of arson, which make ELF and ALF the #1 domestic terror concern.

The second installment in a series of hearings focused on Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty ("SHAC"), a radical animal rights organization that relies on crimes of violence and a campaign of fear to convey their message of animal liberation. SHAC evolved with the purpose of ruining a contract research organization called Huntingdon Life Sciences ("HLS") also known as Life Science Research, a New Jersey-based company that conducts EPA and FDA mandated testing on animals.
