Why is the Humane Society of the United States Helping a Terrorist
Group Raise Money?
On Saturday, a Humane Society of the United Stats vice president will
deliver a keynote speech at a fundraiser for an animal-rights terrorist group.
The Humane Society of the United States claims to oppose violence in
the name of animal rights. But on Saturday it's helping raise money for the
Humane League of Philadelphia, an organization allied with a vicious, violent
gang of convicted animal rights terrorists.
The Humane League of Philadelphia was founded as "SHAC Philly," a
chapter of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC). The FBI calls SHAC
a "terrorist" group. Its tactics have included death threats, violent assaults,
blackmail, and arson. In 2006, SHAC was convicted on federal terrorism charges.
Its national leaders remain in federal prison.
Also in 2006, the Humane League of Philadelphia' s president was
convicted of Making Terrorist Threats against an employee of a drug
company. According to media reports, he threatened to kill her children.
Judges have issued three different restraining orders against the
Humane League of Philadelphia and its president, in order to protect
biomedical research companies and their business associates from
violence, vandalism, stalking, and identity theft. The Humane League of
Philadelphia is required by law to post these restraining orders on its own
Internet home page.
(Following is the evolution of the Humane League of Philadelphia. )
2001 Violent American animal-rights radicals start "SHAC USA," basing
their operations in Philadelphia.
July 2002 Philadelphia SHAC activists establish a local chapter called
"SHACE Philly."
Nov. 2002 SHAC Philly changes its name to "Hugs For Puppies."
Mar. 2006 SHAC USA and six of its national leaders are convicted on
federal terrorism charges.
Nov. 2006 The president of Hugs For Puppies is convicted of Making
Terroristic Threats against the children of a pharmaceutical company
employee.
May 2008 Hugs For Puppies changes its name to "The Humane League of
Philadelphia. "
Nov. 2008 The Humane League of Philadelphia announces that a Humane
Society of the United States vice president will keynote its Dec. 13
holiday fundraising gala.
The Humane Society of the United States claims to be a mainstream,
peaceful advocate for animals. Why is it helping a terrorist group
raise money?
