"The animal rights movement would allow people no more rights than rats or cockroaches. The real agenda of this movement is not to give rights to animals, but to take rights from people - to dictate our food, clothing, work, recreation, and whether we will discover new medicines or die. Animal rights pose an extraordinary threat to our health, freedom, and even our lives." AnimalScam by Kathleen Marquardt, Herbert M. Levine and Mark LaRochelle, pg. 6 (1993)

HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS)

Established in 1954, HSUS began as an animal welfare organization. Over the years HSUS assimilated leaders and ideas from the animal rights movement, moving closer to the complete animal rights ideology it maintains today. Through effective marketing and campaigns directed at the public’s natural love of animals to solicit funds, HSUS has grown to be a household word and an industry giant worth over $200 million.

What drives this mammoth organization? Is it animal welfare goals of humane treatment and stewardship or animal rights philosophy which would eliminate from our lives the use of animals in any fashion? To understand the goals, you must examine the beliefs of the leaders, not the campaigns that claim to be for the protection of animals.

Wayne Pacelle. President, Humane Society of the United States; former Executive Dir. & National Dir., the Fund For Animals; former president, Animal Rights Alliance; former chairman, Animal Rights Network Inc.; former editor, The Animals’ Agenda magazine. Pacelle, a strict vegan who converted to the animal rights philosophy after reading Peter Singer’s “Animal Liberation”, joined HSUS in 1994 after working at the anti-hunting group the Fund for Animals for six years. There he helped radical Paul Watson and his violent Sea Shepherd Conservation Society raise money for ships, and assisted Alex Pacheco and PETA as they ran an undercover investigation of a primate research lab.

Do you know who Paul Watson is? He has been involved in some pretty shady operations, to the point that even Greenpeace is trying to remove him from the records.

Greenpeace Changes It's History to Deny Captain Paul Watson as Co-Founder

Greenpeace has become very angry with Sea Shepherd and Captain Paul Watson because of Sea Shepherd interventions against Japanese whaling and criticisms of Greenpeace ineffectiveness. In fact Greenpeace have become so angry that they have now posted on their website that Paul Watson was not a co-founder of Greenpeace. They now classify him as "an early member"

They have not yet pulled all references. The U.S. website still states that Captain Watson is a founder of Greenpeace.

Do you know who Alex Pacheco with PETA is? From Alex Pacheco's Biography: “Arson, property destruction, burglary, and theft are ‘acceptable crimes’ when used for the animal cause,” says Alex Pacheco, co-founder and former chairman of PETA. Pacheco launched his “direct action” career with the whale ship-sinking Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in the late 1970s. He now serves on its board of directors. Rumored to be a “commander” of the Animal Liberation Front -- a criminal group listed as a domestic terrorist organization by the FBI -- Pacheco has been subpoenaed in connection to ALF activities.
