Will the TRUE
animal rights agenda please
stand up?
The animal rights activists
never seem to be satisfied.
Breeders and pet owners who
do not understand the true
agenda of the animal rights
movement, often tell me that
these people will be
satisfied with them, because
they treat their animals
well. For example, a (horse)
racing commissioner in Ohio
once told me the animal
rights people were satisfied
with guidelines that were
established concerning when
a horse could or could not
be whipped, and he was sure
they would leave him alone.
(Obviously, he did not know
about agenda # 11 below.)
A few years ago, a 12 step
animal rights agenda was
published in a well known
animal rights magazine.
Please don't blame ME for
the message... I am just
paraphrasing what was
published by animal rights
activists, themselves.
What
are the 12 steps of the the
animal rights agenda?
1. Abolish by law all animal
research. (There would be no
cures for AIDS, cancer,
heart disease, etc., and
testing of new drugs would
be done on humans, or not at
all.)
2. Outlaw the use of animals
for cosmetic and product
testing, and classroom
demonstration (physicians
would perform their first
surgeries and procedures on
humans without any previous
experience).
3. Vegetarian meals should
be at all public
institutions, including
schools.
4. Eliminate all animal
agriculture (resulting in no
milk, eggs, chicken, fish,
or meat for food, no leather
for shoes or clothing). (How
many foods do you eat that
contain eggs or dairy
products, or a derivative of
the same? Did you know your
keyboard and mouse may have
been made with animal
products?)
5. Eliminate all herbicides,
pesticides or other
agricultural chemicals.
Outlaw predator
control.(Farmers would not
be able to produce as much
food as they do now, driving
the cost of living up, and
eliminating the export of
food to hungry nations.
Animals such as coyotes are
already a problem in some
areas, coming into yards to
eat garbage and prey upon
outdoor pets.)
6. Transfer enforcement of
animal welfare legislation
away from the Department of
Agriculture. (Animal issues
would be controlled by
people with little or no
experience in customary
animal husbandry.
7. Eliminate fur ranching
and the use of furs.
8. Prohibit hunting,
trapping and fishing.
9. End the international
trade in wildlife goods.
10. Stop any further
breeding of companion
animals, including purebred
dogs and cats. Spaying and
neutering should be
subsidized by state and
municipal governments until
all companion animals are
extinct. Abolish commerce in
animals for the pet trade.
Eliminate pet ownership.
11. End the use of animals
in entertainment and sports
(resulting in no horse
shows, cat or dog shows,
animal actors, rodeos,
animal movie stars).
12. Prohibit the genetic
manipulation of the species
(resulting in the
elimination of critical
medical research relating to
Cancer, AIDS and other life
threatening diseases, as
well as crop production
improvements such as the
difference between the
Holstein and the Angus, and
eliminate all pedigreed
animals, etc... ).
You may sympathize with one
of the points above...
however, do you agree with
all of them? If you disagree
with only some, you cannot,
in good conscience, continue
to support the animal rights
agenda with donations or
support of their
legislation. For example, I
happen to agree with item 9,
above, but if I send money
to the animal rights groups,
it may be used to support
items with which I disagree.
Breeders and pet owners who
cooperate with the animal
rights activist's requests
for change, always discover
that they are not satisfied
with those changes after
they are made. A few months,
or a few years later, the
animal rights activists ask
for yet another change. This
is a method that is used to
erode away at the current
rights we enjoy. As each
request for change is met,
the animal rights activist
gets closer to one of the
goals in the agenda above.
This method is called "incrementalism",
and it leaves the
cooperative person
confounded, because they
have believed the animal
rightist's contention that
the concern of those groups
is humane treatment.
Obviously, communication
between people who are
ethical hobby breeders of
various species of animals
is tantamount to our
continuation.
The public is being
deliberately hoodwinked by
the animal rights movement's
leaders. They receive
donation envelopes in the
mail, with a picture of a
sad puppy or kitten, or some
abused or starving dog or
cat. The donations received
by one group amount to over
40 million dollars annually.
However, very little of this
money goes to projects that
will affect the future of
abused, neglected, or
abandoned and surrendered
animals. Instead, this money
is used to approach
legislators, and ask for
carefully worded
legislation. Legislators
need to pay close attention
to the comments and letters
they receive from the few
members of the public who
are aware of the true agenda
of the AR. Otherwise, the
pet-owning public will be
the ones to suffer, and
finally wake up and vote
accordingly. This will
happen when the public
finally discovers that the
right of pet ownership is
being systematically chipped
away to meet the goal of
eliminating that right
altogether.
When animal rightists decide
to propose legislation, the
legislator is approached
with a problem that must be
solved. The need for this
solution is proven using
documentation provided by
other animal rights groups,
some more militant, and some
less militant, but all with
an apparent overlap in
membership. This legislation
is deliberately and covertly
intended to damage or thwart
the activities of the
breeders of show animals,
the trainers of animal
actors, farmers, etc. When
Animal Welfare Activists
(the people who truly want
humane treatment for
animals) investigate the
documentation and propaganda
that the Animal Rights
Community puts out, they
discover that the statistics
quoted are carefully
manipulated or stilted, to
reflect what is wanted for
the political agenda of the
movement.
The animal rights movement
presents simplistic
solutions to complicated
problems. They would have
you believe that all
deliberately bred animals
languish un-loved in cages,
and that their offspring
populate shelters and
rescues across this country.
When un-biased investigation
takes place, these
simplistic accusations and
solutions give way to a far
more complex and varied
truth. The fact is,
solutions that will solve
problems for dogs will
overlap in some areas, but
will not duplicate solutions
that will work for cats. The
fact is that the shelter
population is not the result
of breeding by ethical hobby
breeders, and this can be
demonstrated with un-biased
statistics, collected with
attention to some detail
that has not been previously
recorded.
Therefore, if you love
animals, it is important
that you understand the aims
and goals of the animal
rights activist. If you want
to retain the right to own
animals, it is important
that you do not cooperate
with these groups.
Investigate the activities
and budget of charitable
donations, before sending
them. If you are a
legislator who cares about
the public, it is important
that you decide to resist
the lure of the easy
statistics fed to you, and
the easy contributions that
are offered in exchange for
robbing the public of their
rights.
