This Is Not Your Grandma's Humane Society

In 2004 the FBI declared animal rights terrorism to be a top domestic threat. In response to this extremism, in 2006 Congress passed the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, which upgraded the Animal Enterprise Protection Act of 1992. We've learned that the New York City Bar Association is now pushing a resolution at the American Bar Association meeting this week calling on the Justice Department to cease enforcing the law.

The timing couldn't be worse from a P.R. point of view. The recent event in New Mexico seems to support tough anti-terrorism laws. The Humane Society of the U.S. and other activists tried to use legal channels to stop horse slaughter, and that may not work (it has succeeded in delaying things, though). So some vigilantes decided to do their own (illegal) thing and light a fire.

The obvious solution would be for the slaughter houses to hire PETA to operate them. PETA has years of experience killing animals. It would be a perfect fit. How could HSUS object?

So, this effectively gives the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) the green light to free all those doomed little lambs from holding pens the day before Eid al-Adha, right?

When do you think that's going to start?

What's that? Oh, ALF practices "selective targeting".

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
