I have to chime in here. PETA was so strong for a while, and became way too
extreme for those "intelligent", but soft hearted people who were enriching
its coffers. ALDF (headed by a group of lawyers that are teaching other lawyers
how to bring AR suits, in a college near you) is appealing to the
"sophisticated", the people that get turned off by the ridiculousness of some
of the PETA
antics, and don't want to be part of a group that is being labeled "domestic
Terrorists" supporters.
AS we gather momentum, (and we are), educate people, join with activist
groups in a big way, the "other side" will look for ways to circumvent our
efforts. Much like the opposing sides in a law suit :-) We are appealing to
logical thinking and educating the public to the real goals of the AR groups,
and
therefore, they are working in different methods, too. Putting on 3 piece
suits, carrying brief cases, Politics, lobbying, big money going towards the
politicians. We need to stay on top of it this time, not let ourselves be
divided.
