Why is the Humane Society of the United States Helping a Terrorist Group
Raise Money?
On Saturday, a Humane Society of the United Stats vice president will deliver a keynote speech at a fundraiser for an animal-rights terrorist grouop.
The Humane Society of the United States claims to oppose violence in the name of animal rights. But on Saturday it's helping raise money for the Humane League of Philadelphia, an organization allied with a vicious, violent gang of convicted animal rights terrorists.
The Humane League of Philadelphia was founded as "SHAC Philly," a chapter of
Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC).
The FBI calls SHAC a "terrorist" group. Its tactics have included death
threats, violent assaults, blackmail, and arson.
In 2006, SHAC was convicted on federal terrorism charges. Its national
leaders remain in federal prison.
Also in 2006, the Humane League of Philadelphia's president was convicted of
Making Terrorist Threats against an employee of a drug company.
According to media reports, he threatened to kill her children.
Judges have issued three different restraining orders against the Humane
League of Philadelphia and its president, in order to protect biomedical
research companies and their business associates from violence, vandalism,
stalking, and identity theft.
The Humane League of Philadelphia is required by law to post these
restraining orders on its own Internet home page.

advocate for animals. Why is it helping a terrorist group raise money?
