Quote Of The Week

 Steven Best is a tenured professor and chair of the philosophy department at the University of Texas El Paso; he is also emerging as the "establishment" standard-bearer of the radical animal-rights fringe. Best openly supports the terrorism practiced by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). And in an effort to lend academic legitimacy to terrorist lunacy, he co-founded the misanthropic Center on Animal Liberation Affairs (CALA). In addition to chronicling the ALF's lawless escapades and including Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine spokesman and violence promoter Jerry Vlasak among its "dedicated volunteers," CALA sponsors an annual "Animal Liberation Front Awareness Day." On this day, Best encourages college students to "book a classroom to allow a former ALF prisoner to speak." He claims the ALF represents "the dawn of a new civil war" -- and he ought to know. Speaking last week on the season premiere of "Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t," Best told the Showtime cable network's national audience: "I don't even think it's controversial to support the ALF (Animal Liberation Front). I don't see what the big controversy is."

After describing the Jewish struggle for freedom under Nazi oppression, Best continued:

It's the same thing with the ALF. We are breaking down doors, breaking into buildings, rescuing animals, and smashing property ... These tactics are legitimate, they're necessary, they're powerful, they're effective. America, welcome to the new face of animal rights struggle. [emphasis added]

This is a man whose job is to mold the minds of tomorrow. It may be time for Texas legislators to review the state's policy on the appropriate use of state tax dollars and send this nutty professor on an early (and permanent) summer vacation. You don't need a PhD to understand why someone discussing an FBI-certified "domestic terror" group in the first person plural is bad news.

 I have no problem with the ALF in their liberation of suffering beings. I do have a problem with violence towards species, including humans, for I don't believe we can argue that the end justifies the means any more than the vivisectors do.

Rod Coronado
Convicted ecoterrorist Rodney Coronado was a student of Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.(22) Coronado and Watson held a joint press conference as early as 1986 and Coronado and Watson admitted sinking fishing/whaling vessels in Iceland. Coronado learned how to make firebombs in England and sabotaged logging sites, fur stores and billboards in the United States and Canada(23) while Sea Shepherd’s Watson has a lengthy arrest record in several countries. Oh, and yes, the State of Oregon has given non-profit status to Sea Shepherd. Taxpayers subsidize these actions as "public benefit".
 
Karen Davis
 
 
Karen Davis has gone on record saying that “the extermination of 7 billion broiler chickens is the moral equivalent of the Holocaust.” In April 2001 she told the Village Voice: “If people feel threatened by the idea of equality beyond human primatology, that is our problem to solve.” Despite United Poultry Concerns’ radical position that chickens, turkeys, and ducks should be afforded the same rights as human beings, Davis is usually portrayed as a sympathetic figure by the mass media. The Washington Post once noted that Davis had divorced her husband because “he needed more in his life than ‘the cause,’ and, being older and arthritic, was no longer able to help much with the chickens anyway.” Karen Davis runs UPC out of her Virginia home, along with over 100 chickens and ducks that she keeps as “companions.”

20 Days in Jail

Flying CHARC Temporarily Grounded

CHICAGO, IL -- Steve Hindi of the Chicago Animal Rights Coalition (CHARC) was sentenced to 6 months in jail for contempt of court when the judge found him to be in violation of an illegally served temporary restraining order which banned Hindi from protesting the Woodstock Hunt Club in Illinois. Hindi was jailed for 20 days, the last eleven of which he spent on hunger strike. Judge James Franz finally released Hindi on $50,000 bond after an Illinois Appellate Court ruling ordered that Hindi no longer be held without bail.

Kevin Jonas

If they wanted attention, they surely have it now. The violent activist group known as "Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty" (SHAC) is a special-interest subset of an FBI-certified "terrorist group" called the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). SHAC is singularly dedicated to destroying a medical research company that uses laboratory animals in its search for clues to curing breast cancer and Parkinson's Disease.
http://www.consumerfreedom.com/headline_detail.cfm?HEADLINE_ID=1490

SHAC’s U.S. leader, Kevin Jonas (aka Kjonnas) himself called violence a "grey area" in an April 2002 newspaper report by London's The Independent (see below): "I empathise with the rage and the commitment of that person (who hit an HLS official with a baseball bat)," said Jonas. "In wars and battles you have casualties. It's not an action which SHAC would take but I don't condemn it." 

At the Animal Rights 2001 Conference in McLean, Virginia in June, Jonas was quite direct in his endorsement of property damage, saying, "There will be windows broken and cars flipped (as this campaign continues)."
