Mon, 14 Jul 2008 01:35:12 +0000 http://www.easyvegan.info/2006/11/14/for-shame-aeta-passes-the-house/#comment-456854 [...] The following is crossposted from easyVegan.info. It’s another rant about AETA, this time in relation to the ACLU, which inexplicable withdrew its opposition to AETA and allowed it to fly through the Senate and House unchallenged. Keep reading for more (and apologies in advance for some of the initial overlap with my last post.) [...] [...] The following is crossposted from easyVegan.info.

And yes, this is happening, with alarming frequency (AETA, anyone?). But I see this scare-mongering as inevitable, a desperate move by animal exploiters to undercut our message, which is finding an increasingly receptive popular (dare I say mainstream?) audience. It’s “inevitable” because, no matter what we do (or don’t do), our opposition will try to label us “terrorists”. ALF and ELF are only the beginning: anyone who attends a vegan potluck, runs a successful website, or donates their time or money to the SPCA is a terrorist in their eyes. Nor do they make any distinction between the “Citizen” and “Reformer” welfare-esque groups and the hard-core animal rights “Rebel” groups: all are violent, radical terrorist groups out to destroy the American Way of Life ™. [...] [...] Joy seems worried about the (very real) possibility that the actions of a few radical animal advocates will invite our opposition to mar the animal liberation movement as a whole with the scare-mongering “terrorist” slur.
