Activist flirts with thuggery-Animal rights group uses ax handles, chemicals, bombs on employees

Problem is, the media, the left, and much of the mainstream think that left wing eco-terrorism is "cute".

Strange that I haven't heard about this on the news. They sure make a big deal when an Abortionist/Baby Killer is shot by an anti-abortion activist -- but nothing when the attackers are lunatic fringe leftists! They only think it is bad when an animal is hurt, stranded, killed, injured. Like the other day when all those people worked so hard and spent so much time and money to get that stranded whale back to its Pod. The same people just look the other day when it is an aborted baby. Everything in this world is so upside down! I found a great website that shows aborted babies, and I show it now to Liberal gals who think abortion is OK. All I can do is to try to reach them one heart at a time.

Is it time to take matters in our own hands as it relates to these pests?

Interesting - SHAC attack people and property in NJ where citizens can not legally carry a gun in self defence. SHAC seems to leave them alone in the "shall issue" commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

I suggest that Huntingdon Life Sciences Group P.L.C move across the Deleware River...

One simple question: Why is Huntingdon not providing security for their employees and facilities? They need armed security personnel assigned to protect people and labs. How is this being overlooked?

Given the strident behavior of the extremists, my guess is one of them would ultimately catch a bullet. A few martyrs is a good thing IMHO!

To give an idea of what havoc these "animal rights activists" create, consider what happened in the UK some years ago.

Some activists set free some lab mice into the wild.

The mice had been the subject of disease experiments , and were carriers of highly contagious, dangerous diseases.

Fortunately, the mice were all accounted for and no human fatalities resulted, because

A. The mice were domesticated, and stayed near the lab, being unfit for survival in the wild, and

B. they were WHITE, which made them pretty easy to pick out, both by human captors and by any predators .

It posted to my area newspaper today. Sorry 'bout that.

He first got interested in animal rights in high school. During a class called "social justice issues," he decided to give up eating at McDonald's because he says the company encourages ecological destruction. That led to his disavowal of eating any kind of meat, which led to his interest in progressive authors like Noam Chomsky and Peter Singer.

What a surprise, that he's into such deep thinkers as Chomsky and Singer. Looking at that picture, I stand by my assessment on the other thread - "spoiled little white-bread suburbanite bastards"...

Flirt with it, hell. They've had sex with it and got it pregnant.

Nicely put. Notice how the lamp shade seems to fit his head like a metal helmet, reminiscent of other lamp shades and other metal helmets from the past.

Huntingdon ought to encourage it's employees to get Concealed Weapon Permits and let it be known to the public that they are doing so. Having a body of an eco-terrorist would make it easier to break the case and find the rest of the terrorist group.

There was something interesting-but undocumented here in NJ: called to my attention by a relative, who does contract work in the (Newark,NJ) Star Ledger.

A very popular outdoor sports ( hunting,fishing, boating ) columnist supposedly received heavy duty threats from an animal rights group.Then the tires on his car were flattened, and something was put into his radiator, which caused it to boil over with a brown, syrupy foam.

My relative happened to be working in the writer's office, and heard him discussing the matter on the phone. He told the other party he had just received a telephone threat, saying " You're next. "

A few days after this, the writer was dead. Police surmised he had lost his house key, and was reaching up, over the mantle, to get his spare; lost his balance, and fell head-first off the 2nd floor balcony,breaking his neck.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND , I don't even know who the writer is/was; don't know whether he was reporting an actual threat to somebody, and most assuredly don't know the truth of his death. My relative did NOT contact the police-or anyone else about this-mostly because she felt the circumstances were too "shaky" to justify making a report this late in the day.

I mention it only in view of reports some of the "activists" have begun using violence against persons; and to caution those who may be exposed to harm. Do NOT Under-rate These Groups !

"spoiled little white-bread suburbanite bastards"...

Bet they won't take the hypocrisy challenge: Swear they'll never take a medication or submit to a medical procedure that was tested on animals.

Swear they'll never take a medication or submit to a medical procedure that was tested on animals.

Right. "No vaccinations for me, thanks!"

I can see the headlines now - "Polio, Measles Epidemics Ravage Animal-Rights Groups"....
