Gerry Byrne denounced the attack on the minister as a terrorist attack. On the 26thof May “When someone actually coaches or conducts criminal behaviour to impose a political agenda on each and every other citizen of Canada, that does seem to me to meet the test of a terrorist organization.” Byrne continued, “I am calling on the Government of Canada to actually investigate whether or not this organization, PETA, is acting as a terrorist organization under the test that exists under Canadian law.” In reaction on his interpretation of Canadian law, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk claimed that Byrne’s response is “a silly, chest-beating exercise.”
