The parts I have cut below are very, very sobering. What Ron describes is an
Animal Rights Convention being held in Albuquerque...
Steven Wise is the author of "Rattling the Cage" that is referred to as the
Animal Rights Magna Charta. Add to that members of ALDF, HSUS, and other
State and Local chapters of HSUS...there wasn't an unbiased person in the
audience except Ron.
If New Mexico goes for this...all is lost within the State and it will be a
huge victory for the ARO's and their minions. I suggest bombarding the
Legislators and the Media with letters objecting to the direction they are
heading. Surely there must be some sane folks in that Government...

INTRODUCTION
On Friday, May 6, I attended a New Mexico State Bar continuing legal
education program, â?oRecognizing Animal Interests in the Law.â??
Unfortunately, the tone of the meeting was more like an Animal Rights
rally, not a legal education program. I am particularly concerned about
the support given by the New Mexico State Bar to the Animal Rights agenda.
I am also concerned by statements from Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez and
Albuquerque City Councilor Sally Mayer, supporting the Animal Rights
agenda.
BACKGROUND
Recognizing Animal Interests in the Lawâ?? was an all-day, New Mexico State
Bar continuing legal education program, running from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm and
was approved for 7.2 General CLE Credits. About 30 people attended, and an
unknown number of others participated through video-teleconferencing. The
meeting started with an impassioned statement about Animal Rights from the
Director, Center for Legal Education, New Mexico State Bar. I had expected
a more objective perspective from the State Bar. There was applause
throughout the day for statements supporting the Animal Rights agenda. It
appeared that nearly all in attendance supported Animal Rights.
The moderator of the legal education program was a local Animal Rights
attorney. The keynote speaker was Steven Wise, President, Center for the
Expansion of Fundamental Rights (CEFR). Other speakers represented the
Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), the New Mexico Attorney Generalâ?Ts
Office, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), and the Santa Fe
Animal Shelter and Humane Society.
