 said he believed the fines will end up being about $6,000, and that the decision marked a victory for him, his wife Pam Ferdyn and the league.

"We pleaded no contest to resolve this, and all the serious charges were dropped," Vlasic said. "Our primary goal was to have no restrictions on demonstrations, and we got that. This is an unmitigated un·mit·i·gat·ed

 insisted the plea sends a message to others who would threaten city workers.

"This terrorist organization was threatening our city employees," Delgadillo said. "We support the right of free speech -- but not when it results in threats to people who are trying to do their job."

The ADL has been at the forefront of protests against the Department of Animal Services and the number of animals it euthanizes. The group has staged demonstrations, and the homes of some Animal Services workers have been vandalized.

Under the plea agreement, members of the ADL have been ordered to remain at least 100 feet from any Animal Services employees and to remove personal information about city workers from its Web site.

But Vlasic said the agreement on the Web site would have little practical impact.

"We can't run lone photos of workers, but we can run pictures of them in groups," Vlasic said. "We can't run personal information, such as their home address, but we weren't doing that anyway."
