Actually, it should be illegal to prevent any being from assisting the recipient of an act of force. That is to say, if Jerry Seinfeld and the three other New Yorkers attempted to prevent the consensual assistance of, say, a passer-by, towards the fat man being mugged, this would be illegal. And indeed, should be illegal. If an animal liberationist seeks to prevent a human from killing a boosted cat, who has the intelligence of a human five-year old, when it cries for help, if security guards then arrive and block such assistance, this blockage should constitute a crime.
