Animal Welfare/Human Hatred
Tuesday, August 22, 2006

From LifeSiteNews.com:
"LANCASTER, England, August 21, 2006 – A pack of animal rights activists brazenly assaulted anglers in the latest incident of an increasingly brutal campaign waged by animal rights activists across the United Kingdom.

According to the Telegraph, a small number of families and anglers were fishing at the Bank House fly fishery at Caton near Lancaster, when a pack of 35 masked animal rights activists armed with stones and bats viciously set upon them...

...A spokesman for Countryside Alliance said, 'It does seem to be the way animal rights extremists are heading. Their issue is not animal welfare - it is about hating people. They simply want to cause trouble.'"

One thing worth noting appears near the end of the article: "Lancashire police revealed that the animal rights extremists moved to attack the fishermen after having failed to disrupt a grouse shoot earlier in the day."
Yup, we're afraid of people with guns, but we would be happy to torture people holding sticks. Pity nobody fishing had a filet knife...

Its worth reading the whole article to hear the details of the attack, but I wanted to give you an idea and note that quote: "It is about hating people."

I wouldn't argue. Animal Rights activists are causing more than their fair share or problems, and not just in England - the NPR (National Public Radio) has a report on their website (its in audio format) about animal rights activists in Los Angles. "Radical animal activists and their enviormentalest counterparts are the top domestic terrorist priority."

Looks like you should start to carry a gun when you're hunting.

Oh, wait...

Once, on those video game message boards I talked about on my blog, I posted an article about some animal rights activist advocating killing research scientists. I responded to the article very vehemently in my post, criticizing animal rights activists in general in the process (though not implying that all of them advocated violence against people). If I remember correctly, I only got two responses before the topic was locked, both defending the Animal Rights cause. I was accused of saying all AR activists were extremists (which was twisting my words), and scolded by one of the idiot moderators. The other responder just posted an inane comment about "cruelty-free" products working, if anything, better than other products. Here's a Google cache of the topic:

(Note: They changed my username to Jack Thompson after I was banned, to insult me (Jack Thompson is a well-known anti-video-game lawyer). My original username was Firesparktornado.)
