I suspect many people, thanks to current economic times, have realized that the savings that were supposed to be there are not and change must happen. Such is the case with my mother. It’s sure to be an emotional time, one which both of us had hoped to avoid. For her, she will be moving from the region of her childhood, her college, her marriage, her first home, her dream home, her caldron of first-grade student graduates and her dearest friends. For me, I will miss our spontaneous visits, morning coffee conversations, trips to the local restaurant in the town of my childhood, her gentle smile, and her helpful advice. But th...

From the story:Suspected radical animal welfare activists raided a poultry farm in Narpio in the southwest of Finland Thursday night. The raiders broke eggs, and destroyed electric equipment, causing the ventilation system to break down. Up to 5,000 of the 26,000 chickens are believed to have died for lack of air.Graffiti left on the wall of the farm contained the letters EVR, the Finnish abbreviation of the Animal Liberation Front.Of course, they won't care that the chickens died. In other similar situations, animal rightists claimed that death was better than lives lived in torture.On a more macro level, we are seeing increased viciousness in political activism from the Left, in ani...

They want to be able to coerce, intimidate, threaten, bomb, vandalize, scare children, terrorize families, trespass, and commit other acts of bullying--and they presume themselves to be walking in the shoes of Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Ludicrous, I know.Now, when ALF-style attacks on medical researchers in the UC system necessitated a protective law to try and control the fanatics, they whine that they are being oppressed. From a press release put out by the Animal Rights Liberation Front Press Office: In separate anonymous communiqués received today by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, three underground attacks on animal researchers were claimed in reaction to the passing of AB 2296 and a police r...

From an interview he gave: It’s about changing people's attitudes and it’s about changing the way that people behave. People only ever change their behaviour for 2 reasons. One reason is because they want to and the other reason is because they are too frightened not to. We have to educate people, so that they want to change, but we also have to make it so they have got to, or else.Nice. I am nearing the end of my European soujourn. When I get back I'll read the whole interview and perhaps write about it some more.

Of course, that will make no difference to the fanatics. From the story:"Two of the groups (the Animal Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Brigade) are clandestine organizations that regularly break the law," Dr. Jerry Vlasak, a trauma surgeon and press officer for the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, told City News Service. "The Animal Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Brigade neither care nor know about the restraining order."Vlasak is only half right: They do know but they do not care. Why? In my view ALF-type animal rights fanaticism is not about animals ...

One commentator thought I might have jumped to a conclusion. But the despicable ALF has now bragged about their felonious conduct. From the anonymous press release: After promising to return if she continued torturing non-human primates in her UCLA laboratory, animal liberationists have again targeted the home of notorious primate vivisector Edythe London. According to the Los Angeles Times, an incendiary device damaged her home today; no one was home at the time. London was targeted by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) last October for her role in torturing non-human animals to death in outdated and unnecessary experiments; in that incident, tens of thousands of dollars in damage was reported after...

Jen will train and run in the marathon while wearing Grace & Meghan's names on her back.Last year, the American Liver Foundation raised over 1.2 million dollars in the Run for Research. I'm just so excited and honored that she is running for my girls. It makes me feel so good to know that an almost stranger can care so much, and do so much good for herself and others.Jen, we will be cheering for you on April 21st. Thank you so much for your dedication to raising money for liver research. We appreciate it more than you'll ever know.Please consider contributing to Jen's goal of raising funds for research, here is her online donation page: http://www.active.com/donate/...
