PETA Underwrites Terrorists

PETA Underwrites Terrorists
Would leftist organizations, such as the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, be so careless if they were held to the same harsh standards as, oh, let’s say pharmaceutical companies? Pharmaceutical companies are routinely trashed by the self-anointed liberal know-it-alls for not giving their products away to impoverished nations. According to the left, this greedy selfishness results in literally millions of deaths annually.
Somehow, the left escapes similar condemnation for their contributions to the world’s misery. Not long ago, PETA raised billboards in college towns encouraging students to drink more beer. It seems to me that alcohol consumption already kills too many people, but not enough for PETA, it seems. In Florida, PETA thought it entirely within the bounds of good taste to make light of a shark attack upon a child. And, when it comes to the condition of the poor, PETA has thrown its support behind a domestic terrorist organization that employs violence to prevent the development and introduction of improved crops that would certainly help feed the poor.
This year, millions of people, in those impoverished nations that liberals claim to care so much about, will perish from starvation. The single, most obvious way to save them is to increase the food supply. But, among the greatest impediments to preventing these entirely avoidable deaths are the self-anointed guardians of the environment. These environmentalist wackos have taken it upon themselves to make the world safe from what they have chosen to call, “frankenfoods.”
One such group calls itself the Earth Liberation Front. The United States government had officially designated ELF as a terrorist organization. The ELF has decided that improved crop varieties are enemies of the planet they defend and that their introduction must be prevented. These goons have burned agricultural research facilities involved in plant breeding and transgenic hybridization. They have burned nurseries that distribute such plants. These biotechnologies hold great promise for increased crop yields and greater resistance to disease and insects. And all of this may be accomplished with less impact upon the environment than is required for the cultivation of conventional crops. Some of these transgenic foods, such as golden rice, are enriched with essential nutrients otherwise lacking in some traditional diets. Without these high biotech foods, people will die unnecessarily. And, the ELF resorts to terrorism to prevent their use.
Who could support such monstrous people? The aforementioned PETA does. And that means that the Hollywood left does too. And so do you, because PETA is a tax-exempt organization. That means that all the empty-headed Hollywood starlets who donate to PETA may write their contribution off their taxes.
Last year PETA donated $1500 to the terrorist Earth Liberation Front. The Earth Liberation Front, and its overlapping organization, the Animal Liberation Front, is responsible for numerous acts of arson and vandalism throughout the West, but especially in the Northwest.
The duplicitous high priestess of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, has offered several explanations for the donation. First of all, she concocted the Hillary Clintonesque excuse that she had no memory of the donation. Then she said it was for “habitat protection.” Two days later, the money was given to promote vegetarianism. After another week, the check was, "to assist (former ELF spokesman Craig) Rosebraugh with legal expenses related to free-speech activities regarding animal protection issues." But IRS records prove that the check was written before Rosebraugh was arrested. According to PETA’s own IRS filings, the money was intended to, “support program activities.”
Well, since the ELF has only one activity, that being terrorism, then PETA would seem to have done some violence to itself for a change.
At least two legal scholars have concluded that PETA deserves to lose its tax-exempt status over that expenditure. That means that, should the IRS do its job, then the Hollywood left can no longer expect us to subsidize their donations to these creeps.
Naturally, now that all her lies have fallen into dust, priestess Newkirk accuses her accusers of attempting to stifle her First Amendment rights.
As the old saying goes, if the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, challenge the facts. If both the law and the facts are against, jump up and down and raise holy hell.
