overreaction: e.g. animal abuse cases

This is why it is important not to overreact. The above just happened to be an example of such instances when there's an overreaction. What's the use of sending death threats? At its best, it just give the notion that there are some ppl like that out there. At its worst, it undermines the effort to bring such cases to light and to legal jurisdictions. I have heard of comments such as "why are they so uptight about..." or "why are they so against about..." about animal defenders activities. It's the way that the animals were treated, which shows the kind of attitude towards animals that puts us off. Such as in the finning of sharks (http://www.stopsharkfinning.net/) where sharks were being finned alive and were then thrown back to the sea to die a slow death. No doubt there are ppl out there who oppose just for the sake of opposing and etc. But what is the most important? At least from my point of view, the prevention of such cases of brutal cruelty from happening again. 

By the way, if one's curious about the incident, more info's http://www.change.org/petitions/justice-for-giggles-the-fawn
