Before you embrace the entire male left uncritically, you should investigate the Muslim approach to animal care. Find out how animals are treated in most Arab and Persian culture. Especially how animals are treated by the Palestinians. They are treated the same way women and children are treated. Be careful before you support the growing strength of Islam in the US. CAIR is the US front of the Muslim theocracies and has nothing to do with animal liberation. It is probably the best use of RICO to date.

Jim:
No, I’m not equating anything. But I do think it’s important to see how fluid these tactics are becoming, and learn from how the government is approaching these cases. Best, Will

CAIR itself recently was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in an alleged scheme to funnel $12 million to the terrorist group Hamas. In the Holy Land Foundation case, federal prosecutors also listed CAIR as a member of the U.S. branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide jihadist movement that gave rise to Hamas, al-Qaida and other terrorist groups. The government will retry the Holy Land case, which ended in a hung jury.
“I’m highlighting this on GreenIsTheNewRed.com because using RICO was one of the earlier waves of attacks against animal rights activists, before corporations and the government used ‘animal enterprise terrorism’ charges”
I do hope you are not equating CAIR with animal rights activists.
