Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act - Amends the federal criminal code to revise  
criminal prohibitions against damaging or interfering with the operations of 
an  animal enterprise to include intentional damage or loss to any real or 
personal  property and intentional threats of death or serious bodily injury 
against  individuals (or their family members, spouses, or intimate partners) who 
are  involved with animal enterprises. Expands such crime to include 
conspiracies and  attempts. Revises and increases monetary and criminal penalties for 
such crime.  
Modifies the definition of "animal enterprise" to include: (1) an enterprise  
that uses or sells animals or animal products for profit for educational  
purposes; and (2) an animal shelter, pet store, breeder, or furrier.  
Provides that expressive conduct (including picketing or other peaceful  
demonstration) protected by the First Amendment is not prohibited by this Act.
