What will it take
for AKC and dog clubs to wake up and acknowledge that the "animal
rights" movement is political terrorism?

Only AKC
has the political clout and cash to fight domestic terrorists. It
is AKC's duty to protect the
wellbred purebred.
So why are dog owners so disjointed and so LEADERLESS? A
logical person must admit the loonies, humaniacs, and political
activists virtually
control the courts.
This is not an animal rights issue. It
is a political war wherein
we give up
human rights under the guise of protecting animal rights.
How can
this happen?
The answers are unflattering and indisputable. “They”
have better leaders than dog people. Their leaders have led the Animal
Rights
troops from victory to victory, county by county, from coast to
coast.
They are better organized,
better funded, and apparently, more motivated! As preposterous as it sounds,
anti-pet, political terrorists now dominate an
entire nation of pet lovers. The FBI
ranks ELF as
the #1 domestic terrorist threat. We're losing
the war right here, on the home front Right behind the
Environmental Liberation Front marches ALF, the Animal Liberation Front,
also on the FBI list.
Where
do they get funding and leadership? From PeTA. It's a
matter of federal record even though the money moves deviously and
management is cloaked in several layers of corporate secrecy.
Ah, but we dog people can sniff out a money trail
on a rainy day in the Everglades. So why haven’t we identified the enemy by following him
to his lair?
We need to know
“Why?” and “Who.” One of the major contributors to PETA is the
Tides Foundation,
characterized on ActivistCash.com as “one that strains
the boundaries of U.S. tax law in the pursuit of its leftist, activist
goals.”
The money trail is further described “Tides
behaves less like a philanthropy than a money-laundering enterprise
(apologies to Procter & Gamble), taking money from other foundations and
spending it as the donor requires. Called donor-advised giving, this
pass-through funding vehicle provides public-relations insulation for
the money’s original donors.”
Early Animal
"Rights" Groups read like a Who’s Who list of organizations
known to be in opposition to animal owner rights. Doris Day Animal
League (DDAL), Humane Society Of The U.S., (HSUS) Animal Legal Defense Fund
(ALDF), and
interestingly, Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, etc.
PETA (People For The Ethical
Treatment Of Animals) seems to have begun in the early eighties, mailing postage-free flyers
showing monkeys with the top of their skull removed and electrodes
coming out of their brains. I donated too until, as a wordsmith, I read
the promotional material with new eyes. Wondering, who besides me paid
for this material? I asked around. No one knew. Who were the donors?
I went on to other concerns but PETA kept popping up.
Some years later
I asked again - Where did they
get the money with which to effectively infiltrate the educational system, actually providing
teaching materials for the next generation? How did they get in the
encyclopedias? Could public donations have materialized so quickly, so
early in the campaign?
By then,
PETA was regularly achieving network news coverage as a result of
outrageous acts but wait, where did they get the money to recruit
weak-minded soldiers willing to perform such acts? How could public
donations fund such an agenda?
By now, animal lovers had them pegged as loonies and humaniacs
but we still failed to identify "animal rights" as an outright political war
designed to test the weakness of the American people!
Today they
don’t need mindless loonies to throw buckets of blood on
fur-clad ladies. TV News no longer promotes PeTA's
stunts but it doesn’t matter, now they have
billboards, school boards and county boards!!!
They are not busy earning a living to
support their Agenda – the domestic terrorist groups (so defined by
congressional testimony) are supported by our legislative leaders who
grant them tax-free status, and by grants from the tax-free foundations we support and by donations from movie stars
we pay to see and….
“They” are
well organized and much more obsessed than we are. Even
news of impending doom fails to motivate us because we have no national
unity. We don’t know who we are fighting and we have no
effective leadership
at the national level.
We
must look back in order to see ahead if we are to successfully defend
our right to own dogs.
Wimps
or Warriors? When it
comes to discriminatory animal legislation, do we fight or do we roll
over? A warrior does not draw a bow armed with a
twig. Which are you? Wimp or Warrior? If that
doesn't get your ruff up, what will?
If we have
less determination than those who threaten our sovereign rights and the
soil upon which we tread, we deserve defeat.
