FROM HSUS
"Human care (of animals) is simply sentimental, sympathetic patronage." -
Dr. Michael W. Fox, HSUS, in 1988 Newsweek interview
"We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding. One generation
and out. We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding." - Wayne
Pacelle, Senior Vice-President of HSUS, formerly of Friends for Animals; Quoted in Animal People, May, 1993
"The life of an ant and that of my child should be granted equal consideration." - Wayne Pacelle, Senior Vice-President of HSUS,
formerly of Friends for Animals - In Inhumane Society, 1990
"The life of an ant and the life of my child should be accorded equal respect." - Wayne Pacelle, Senior Vice-President of HSUS,
formerly of Friends for Animals, The Associated Press, Jan. 15, 1989
HSUS president John Hoyt hinted in 1986 that the animal-rights movement might be a means to a larger end, telling
Washingtonian magazine: “This new philosophy [animal rights] has served as a catalyst in the shaping of our own philosophies,
policies, and goals.” John McArdle, the group’s Director of Laboratory Animal Welfare, frankly admitted in the same article that
HSUS was “definitely shifting in the direction of animal rights faster than anyone would realize from our literature.”
The group completed its animal-rights transformation during the 1990s, changing its personnel in the process. HSUS assimilated
dozens of staffers from PETA and other animal-rights groups, even employing John “J.P.” Goodwin, a former Animal Liberation
Front member and spokesman with a lengthy arrest record and a history of promoting arson to accomplish animal liberation and
end all animal agriculture in the United States.

ANIMAL RIGHTS AND "COMPANION ANIMALS"
"We are not especially 'interested in' animals. Neither of us had ever been inordinately fond of dogs, cats, or horses in the way that
many people are. We didn't 'love' animals." -- Peter Singer*, Animal Liberation: A New Ethic for Our Treatment of Animals, 2nd ed.
(New York Review of Books, 1990), Preface, p. ii.
*Peter Singer is the acknowledged founding father and chief guru of the Animal Rights movement. Singer's disciple is Ingrid
Newkirk, who co-founded People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, also known as PETA.

In a perfect world, all other-than-human animals would be free of human interference, and dogs and cats would be part of the
ecological scheme, as they were before humans domesticated them and as they remain in some parts of the undeveloped world.
From The PETA Statement on Companion Animals
"In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and
following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must
take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love, and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an
animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from a perilous life on the street. But it is
also important to stop manufacturing "pets," thereby perpetuating a class of animals forced to rely on humans to survive." - PETA
pamphlet, Companion Animals: Pets or Prisoners?

AHOSKIE, N.C. -- Two employees of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals were charged with animal cruelty for allegedly
picking up dogs and cats from shelters and dumping their dead bodies in the garbage.
Police said they found 18 dead animals in the bin and 13 more in a van registered to the activist group, all from shelters in the
state's northeastern corner.
Investigators arrested the two workers after staking out a garbage bin where animals had previously been dumped, police said
Thursday.
PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said the workers were picking up animals to be brought to PETA headquarters for euthanization.
Veterinarians and animal control officers said the PETA workers had promised to find homes for the animals rather than euthanize
them, according to police.
Neither police nor PETA offered any theory on why the animals might have been dumped.
PETA spokeswoman Colleen O'Brien said the organization euthanizes animals by lethal injection, which it considers more
humane than gassing animals in groups, as some counties do. The group scheduled a news conference Friday in Norfolk, Va.,
where the group is based.
Police charged Andrew Benjamin Cook, 24, of Virginia Beach, Va., and Adria Joy Hinkle, 27, of Norfolk, Va., each with 31 felony
counts of animal cruelty and eight misdemeanor counts of illegal disposal of dead animals. They were released on bond.
No home telephone number was listed for either Hinkle or Cook, and a message left for Cook at PETA headquarters was not
returned. A PETA spokesman said he did not know how to reach Hinkle.
In this country according to a study done by the National Council on Pet Population between 1994-1998 showed 2- 2.3 million
dogs are taken in by shelters across the country each year. 44% are found new homes or returned to their owners. The number
two leading cause of dogs ending up in shelters is landlord issues ( insurance discrimination and breed specific legislation)
Supporting Terrorism.
PETA has contributed thousands of dollars to known activist extremists. Most of these extremist were involved in either ALF or
ELF, two organizations under FBI watch. The FBI is monitoring these organizations for acts of terrorism in the United States.
These acts include arson, bombings, cutting the brake lines on fishery trucks, breaking and entering, destruction of government
and organizational research laboratories and murder. ALF, in one statement, has admitted to over 100 acts of terrorism, all in the
name of animal rights and the economy.
PETA has given over $45,000 to the defense of Rodney Coronado, an ALF member convicted of a firebombing at Michigan State
University. During this criminal act of arson, Rodney Coronado stole documents and had them sent to a PETA member, the
sending of these packages was prearranged by the president of PETA, herself. One of the packages was intercepted by the FBI.
Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, during his last meal, decided to not eat meat. PETA’s response to this was given by
Bruce Friedrich, when he told reporters “Mr. McVeigh’s decision to go vegetarian groups him with some of the world’s greatest
visionaries."
PETA published a pamphlet entitled "Activism and the law", that offers advice on burning laboratory buildings. This same
pamphlet states "there is a higher law than that written by those who subjugate the helpless", it states that the use of illegal
actions may be unpopular, but "no struggle against exploitation has been won without them."
PETA contributed $27,000 to the legal defense of Roger Troen for burglary and arson at the University of Oregon in 1986. In 1989,
PETA informed its members of the payment.
PETA's 1988 Form 990. PETA contributed $7,500 to the legal defense of Fran Stephanie Trutt, convicted of possessing pipe
bombs and prosecuted for the attempted murder of the president of a medical laboratory.
PETA's 2001 Form 990. PETA paid lawyer fees for animal rights criminals involving the North American Earth Liberation Front, an
FBI-declared domestic terrorist organization.
-"I will be the last person to condemn ALF (Animal Liberation Front)."
- Ingrid Newkirk, in the New York Daily News, [December 7, 1997]
-"If we really believe that animals have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course we’re going
to be, as a movement, blowing things up and smashing windows … I think it’s a great way to bring about animal liberation … I
think it would be great if all of the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded
tomorrow. I think it's perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows ... Hallelujah to the people
who are willing to do it."
- Bruce Friedrich, vegan campaign coordinator of PETA, “Animal Rights
2001” conference
CONCLUSION
Both HSUS and PETA support breed bans and breed restrictions, and other organizations in the United States including animal
control that follow the Animal Rights agendas also support them. The intent of the breed ban is not to protect the public but to end
domestic pet ownership which is why when we look at the data in cities where breed bans have been enacted we find they do not
protect the public, what we do find is heavy lobbying by animal rights organizations and their members to aid in attempting to pass
breed bans.
Animal rights groups such as PETA, HSUS, Green Peace, et,al have launched an all out attack on the animal industry in the United
States. The vast agriculture/animal industry includes everything from our pets, to our food supply, to garment manufacturers, shoe,
and leather goods, circuses, rodeos, to pharmaceuticals. Under the guise of helping animals the animal rightists have worked to
initiate legislation against poultry producers, beef producers, pork producers, and wool growers, and pet owners.
They have created a media monster in order to have cities and counties, and states initiate breed specific ordinances to prohibit
pet ownership by breed. Breed specific dog ordinances remove ownership and property rights in animals. Once enacted any or all
other breeds or species are eligible to be added until animal ownership and use has been abolished, collapsing the economy of
the United States. Under laying all of the other facets of our economy is the animal/agriculture industry. The animal rights groups
are being closely monitored by the Justice Department, specifically the ATF, and the FBI. The ALF, and ELF are supported by PETA
and are considered to be domestic terrorists. They support the radical overthrow of the United States government, and are willing
to sacrifice the total economic collapse of our Country to achieve that goal.
