Interesting sidenote to the Vick thing-HSUS

not the best way to get a message across,

J.P. Goodwin, Executive Director
 
"We have found that civil disobedience and direct action has been powerful in generating massive attention in our communities ... and has been very effective in traumatizing our targets."
(National Animal Rights Convention '97, June 27, 1997)
 
"We've started picketing outside the homes of the [department store] executives because these minks on these fur farms never get a chance to go home and relax. Those executives do not deserve a break. They do not deserve to go home and rest."
(Speech "No More Fur: Bringing the Fur Industry To Its Knees," World Congress for Animals, Washington, D.C., June 20, 1996)
 
"It's time for the animal rights movement to take this industry and drive the final nail into the coffin by whatever means it takes. If that means being outside the executives houses, if that means blockading their doors, whatever it takes."
(Speech "No More Fur: Bringing the Fur Industry To Its Knees," World Congress for Animals, Washington, D.C., June 20, 1996)
 
"My goal is the abolition of all animal agriculture."
(As quoted on AR-Views, an animal rights Internet discussion group)
 
"If the feed barn, and processing barns are away from the animals, and downwind, then they could be burned down. Otherwise mink releases are the only way to go."
(As quoted on AR-Views, an animal rights Internet discussion group)

Anyone notice their Investigator John Goodwin, mentioned in many of the blurbs when H$U$ comments, is a convict himself LOL....he did house arrest/ probation for some vandalizing of fur stores. Apparently he was in ALF (describing himself as a "former member of ALF)...which is a domestic terrorist org [linkhttp://www.fbi.gov/congress/congress02/jarboe021202.htm]http://www.fbi.gov/congress/congress02/jarboe021202.htm[/link]
 
They've (meaning Wayne Pacelle) cleaned him up and now he's in a position of power at H$U$ and donations are paying his salary. Nice. Something to think about when those donation begging letters come to your home.

to bash groups that are trying to help animals.

So you're saying, by my own deduction, that it's ok to commit acts of domestic terrorism and kill humans along the way to help animals?

If you want to look at it that way, then the Breeders in the anti AB1634 groups acted as terrorists too, for threatening the safety of the bills sponsor and his family.
