ABOUT THE A.S.P.C.A.
The
Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is an
ANIMAL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION!
It is
CAARE's opinion that the ASPCA
prefers that the average American not know that it
has a HIDDEN agenda and that we believe it is a
welfare organization. We believe the ASPCA
deliberately seeks
blur the line between animal welfare and animal rights
to the point that the public will come to support an agenda that
it
would not otherwise support! In point of fact, we are
unable to find a single place on the ASPCA website that disclaims
the animal rights agenda and/or movement. There are,
however, pages on its site that indicate its support
of
animal rights.
A known extremist
group, the Animal Liberation Front (ALF),
fully understands and appreciates the important role that
the ASPCA, and similar groups, play in promoting the
extremist animal rights agenda by soft-selling it.
This is evidenced by innumerable references to the ASPCA on
the ALF website. The ASPCA itself states,
"Become.
an Animal Activist.
Visit our lobby section to find
out everything you can do to raise awareness for
ANIMAL RIGHTS."
in paragraph 9. Another link on the ASPCA site clearly
indicates their support of animal rights:

Quoting
Americans for Medical Progress, "It’s sometimes
difficult to distinguish between animal welfare and animal
rights organizations. Animal rights groups often hide
their radical agendas behind language that emphasizes animal
welfare initiatives. This leads the unsuspecting to
join or contribute without realizing the extreme views held
by the leaders of these groups. One needs to be especially
cautious as sometimes organizations that are primarily
focused on animal welfare, such as the American Humane
Association or the
American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals will, with all apparent
good intentions to "help the animals," sign onto an animal
rights campaign without independently discerning whether the
claims are valid."
The ASPCA's true agenda is further is evidenced
by:
(1) Their opposition to
accepted animal husbandry practices as evidenced by a
careful reading of their
web pages relating to these practices. They oppose the
use of some animals, like bison, elk, emu and horses, for
emotional rather than logical reasons.
They claim to support (albeit grudgingly) certain practices
(debeaking of chickens, tail-docking of pigs, etc.) while
stating that they want to prevent the "stress" and
"distress" such animals may feel when confined or
transported to slaughter -- while opposing the use of drugs.
At first glance this may seem reasonable but they really is
to set impossible standards for factory famers.
Yes, the ASPCA's extremist leanings are sugar-coated but
those
leaning are patently obvious to anyone familiar with
accepted animal husbandry practices. If you are not
convinced yet,
Animal Liberation Front or
the No Compromise
websites to see how similar the ASPCA campaigns are to those of that extremist group!
(2) Their lawsuit against
Ringling Brothers Circus AND ongoing campaign to bring
financial ruin to that Circus, as evidenced by their
webpage that states:
- Don't go to the
circus-unless it's one
that doesn't feature any
animal performers. Tell
your friends, family and
coworkers not to attend
the circus, either.
- When Ringling
Bros. is in the area,
write a letter to the
editor of the local
paper explaining why the
circus should not be
supported.
- Contact the venue
that will be hosting
Ringling Bros.' show and
ask them to withdraw the
invitation or, at the
very least, not to
invite them back next
year.
- Talk to your kids
about why circuses are
cruel. Visit our
children's website,
ASPCA Animaland, for
information about
circuses that's written
especially for kids.
