This is a very strange claim. Do you think caring about AI Safety or animal welfare is the reason zizzians killed people or was it some other set of beliefs that led them to act the way they did?
This is the same as someone claiming leftism is inherently dangerous because Bolsheviks.
Look, for me "AI safety" has a lot of baggage attached to sci-fi concerns of a future superintelligence and their beliefs about animals were that 'anyone who eats meat is a “flesh-eating monster,” and sentient animals are “people.”' so I don't think it is a strange claim at all.

They also sympathize with two EA cause areas
I don't think the latter was the reason they committed violence, that's all I'm saying
"The Zizians came together over the next two years, splintering off one by one from the established rationalist and EA communities."
