PETA After our kids...
 (United States)
QuoteReply
Some interesting facts...

* A recent handout created for children, titled "Your Daddy Kills Animals," features a grinning lunatic-Dad gutting a fish, and the publication warns kids to keep their puppies and kittens away from Dad because he's "hooked on killing."



* PETA's 2001 federal income tax return disclosed a $1,500 contribution to the "North American Earth Liberation Front" (ELF) -- an environmental terrorist group responsible for tens of millions of dollars in arson damage. Last week the FBI announced six major arrests of ELF arson suspects. PETA's $1,500 check to the ELF is the only such donation to be publicly acknowledged by any American individual or group.

* PETA's other tax filings have revealed a $2,000 cash payment to then- ALF spokesman David Wilson, and a $5,000 gift to current federal Animal Enterprise Terrorism defendant Joshua Harper.

* During the 1990s, PETA paid over $70,000 for the unsuccessful legal defense of ALF arsonist Rodney Coronado after he set a fire that destroyed a Michigan State University research facility. In a sentencing memorandum to the court, the prosecuting U.S. Attorney wrote that PETA president Ingrid Newkirk "arranged days before the MSU arson occurred" for Coronado to send her stolen documents from the crime scene and a videotape of the arson being committed.

* In 1999 No Compromise (a self-described "militant, direct action magazine" for supporters of the ALF) published a list of its financial benefactors. That list included PETA president Ingrid Newkirk, two other PETA officers, and PETA itself.

* At a 2001 national animal-rights convention, PETA campaign director Bruce Friedrich told a large audience of activists that "blowing stuff up and smashing windows [is] a great way to bring about animal liberation," before adding: "It would be great if all the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories and the banks who fund them exploded tomorrow ... Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it."

* Since 2002 PETA has paid an activist named Gary Yourofsky to promote animal rights to U.S. middle-school and high-school children. Yourofsky is a felon who was convicted of committing a Canadian farm burglary for which a claim of responsibility was issued in the name of the ALF. Yourofsky told The Toledo Blade in 2002 that he would "unequivocally support" the death of medical researchers in an ALF arson fire. PETA first hired Yourofsky after he gave this interview.

Good read, thanks Webdude.

Where does PETA get their funding?

I read somewhere that the FBI considers both ELF and ALF (Animal Liberation Front) terrorist groups.

Thanks WebDude, it is amazing that they get money, but it proves that people will spend money on anything.  They don't like something, so they demonize it and try to scare others from making up their own minds.  Their ads are sick and meant to turn kids away from fishing, hunting, trapping and many other activities.  If our ancestors had agreed with them, no one would be here today.. 

As anglers and outdoors people, we have to realize that if we don't fight for our rights, some day someone, like these people, will take them away.  So keep your eyes open and don't give them anything to use negatively.  Luckily most people see through the scare tactics and get turned off by them.  They really are terrorists..
