Sri Nakharo has not claimed responsibility for any terrorist incident since May 2001. The group is technically inactive, but it is extremely likely that any members that avoided capture in 2001 have joined other militant groups in the region.

Unknown. In 2001, it was rumored that SHAC collected funds through a legitimate charity in the U.S. However, it is likely that individuals work alone and fund their own activities.

SHAC remains committed to its cause of closing HLS indefinitely. In the past, the SHAC has been able to obtain personal information about HLS employees, as well as employees from companies associated with HLS. This information, which includes home addresses, license plate numbers, and social security numbers, has been posted on SHAC websites to encourage activists to conduct protests outside residences and send mail to the targets.<br /><p><br />However, in early March 2006, SHAC USA and six of its members were convicted of terrorism and Internet stalking by a federal jury in New Jersey. Among the members convicted was the group's president, Kjonaas (sentenced to six years), and director, Lauren Gazzola (sentenced to four years and three months). The group began their sentences in November 2006. SHAC's new president, Pam Ferdin, acknowledged that the convictions would likely dissolve the U.S.-based wing, but she claimed that the broader animal rights campaign would continue. As a result, SHAC is likely to be a minimal threat in the U.S. but remain a moderate threat in the U.K.
