Animal Rights?

WARNING:  You are about to enter dangerous philosophical & political waters!  

Because the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." [1: See "Terrorism in the United States: 1990," published by the FBI's Terrorist Research and Analytical Center, Counterterrorism Section, Criminal Investigative Division.] and because "Congress passed the Animal Enterprise Protection Act in response to concerns about what was perceived by many to be the rapidly expanding use of violence and other disruptive expressions of extremism on behalf of animal rights," and, finally, because the Department of Justice has declared that "groups involved in animal rights extremism are clandestine in operation, amorphous in organization and membership, and, somewhat ironically, expertly skilled in public relations. These characteristics have allowed extremist animal rights groups to successfully evade detection and prosecution as well as garner some public sympathy, which in turn has emboldened them further to expand their list of victims and escalate their means of violence and destruction," and because, "Animal rights extremism was found to have compounding effects that often can be substantially disruptive to the commercial or professional operations of a victimized animal enterprise, or, in some cases, can be threatening to an individuals safety," and because the FBI "continue(s) to monitor major acts of animal rights extremism" (see DOJ report by clicking HERE), we think you will find the following information both interesting and useful.

That being said, no one is more eloquent in explaining exactly how dangerous the animal right's movement is to our society and way of life than those who support it.  In the wake of 9/11, the following picture is worth a thousand words.  But, don't take our word for it, click on the picture and browse one of the many site's that advocates "animal rights" and learn more about this extremist anarchist movement for yourself!

  

It is our, meaning RAOT's, position that animals should be treated as humanely as possible under any and all circumstances in which we, as humans, act as their caretakers.  This includes but is not limited to animals used to perform various services for man, including those used for entertainment, food, as pets or for research.  Animal testing should be done only when other tests cannot reasonably and reliably duplicate results and, then, those tests should be conducted as humanely as possible.

Here are some links to information about the animal rights' movement for your consideration:

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  Because the animal rights' movement is under increasing pressure from both law enforcement and animal welfarists working to expose it for the extremist movement that it is, animal rights' extremists are constantly taking down and/or redesigning their sites in an effort to forestall attempts to expose them.  That makes keeping this page current more difficult and means, more often than usual on our pages, you may find a link that does not work.  Please let us know if you do and we will replace it with another as we are constantly finding new sites that illustrate AR extremism.  Thank you for your understanding!
