It is about time. If the HSUS, ASPCA, and PETA went out of business it would be a great day for animals. Then maybe more people would realize that if they want to help animals they are better off donating and volunteering at their local shelters and credible conservation groups.

There needs to be as much PR done about HSUS’s racketeering and use of donated funds to line their own pockets instead of helping animals so that the uninformed John Q Public stops sending them money!

Ideally, a finding of GUITY under RICO laws would be fantastic. While one-time blow-up-the-building terrorism is horrible and galvanizes people, the insidious and poisonous terrorism being used *every day* and in *every city* by the animal rights movement’s propaganda mill BIG LIES [google it--a favorite strategy of the Third Reich] is far worse for society in the long run. The AR movement [through actions of H$U$, PeTA, ALDF, AWI, et al) works from within society, kind of like a worm eating the core of an apple and eventually causing its collapse–this case, the corrosion of the human/animal bond by vilifying animal industries and attacking them legislatively and even physically (through seizures under color of law, intimidation and downright nasty antisocial condemnation). You can BET that the AR groups will have the very best attorneys they can hire (with the public’s donations, naturally). Hopefully, our elected Congressmen and women will resist the urge to cower in fear from the threats and mean-spirited rhetoric so typical of the sociopathic AR movement, and as a society, we will pressure to bring about the downfall anddissolution of the major arrogant AR industry players to the point where they return to the fringe influence they once had, instead of trying to *force the majority* to follow their unacceptable worldview.

I doubt that it will go wrong for the animals, but the problem with RICO suits, I understand, is that they can take years and years to complete. It will be interesting to watch what HSUS does with all their millions regarding defending only themselves, or will they be magnanimous and contribute to the defense of their co-defendants? And will the money coming in slow down when people realize what their donations are being spent on defending against these very serious charges. If I were a donor, I would not be happy, that’s certain.

My biggest concern, though, is that HSUS has already lost a lot – most of their over-reaching laws have failed passage, and they are now an organization under siege, with nothing to lose. That scares me. All the money in the world and nothing to lose makes for a dangerous foe.

I hope Feld wins BIG……I’m pretty sure they will win, but the BIG part is what I really want. Big enough to put hsus out of business.
