CNN to Promote Radical Animal Rights Agenda
Please read this important message from Patti Strand of the National Animal Interest Alliance:


TIME-SENSITIVE ACTION ALERT
CNN poised to give animal rights radicals a platform


Dear Andrew

It is time to educate CNN about the radical animal rights agenda and their dangerous promotion of it!

CNN is set to air a full hour special tonight called Jane's Fight for Animal Rights. It features representatives from the hardcore animal rights fundraising groups, PETA, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Sea Shepherd, In Defense of Animals, Farm Sanctuary, and Mercy for Animals -- not one of which represents mainstream values. It also includes cameo appearances from celebrity spokespeople for animal rights, Bob Barker, Pierce Brosnan, and others used to legitimize extremist views.

Media depends on ratings to stay on the air, so it's understandable that TV networks sometimes select groups whose media-grabbing antics and out-of-the-mainstream views makes them newsworthy, at least as representing a minority point of view. What makes CNN's show so reprehensible is their lack of balance, their lack of providing people representing the majority view the opportunity to refute extremist claims with fact-based evidence.

The result is that CNN's show is providing radicals a platform to be seen as America's go-to resource when it comes to animal issues. Thus, PETA, a group that has refused to condemn violence committed in the names of animals, HSUS, a group with a spokesperson who said his goal is the abolition of agriculture, and Sea Shepherd whose leader, Paul Watson was recently placed on Interpol's International Wanted List all get free publicity and the CNN bully pulpit.

It's vitally important that you tell CNN how you feel about their program and about the groups they've selected to represent animal issues. CNN needs to understand that pandering to sensationalism not only hurts the people who actually care for animals, it hurts the animals themselves. Let's use this opportunity to educate CNN about the animal rights agenda and how it differs from true animal welfare.

Here are some resources you can use in composing your letter:
• Quotes from animal rights leaders showing how radical they are
• The animal rights agenda
• Description of animal rights versus animal welfare
• NAIA's value statement

Good luck!

Sincerely,

Patti Strand, national director NAIA

Sent my email telling how disgusted I am and why.
I predict the "interviews" will be nothing mroe than blatant PR media from their agendas, interpersed with more of the heart wrenchingly sad stories of abused pets that none of the AR groups ever helped, lots of praise from host to whoever they have on the show, and vague comments about how much animals suffer and how they will solve all the issues, without specific comments like "We'll make sure no one ever can consume eggs or milk or own a dog or cat again".

Bunch of complete low-life lying cheats from the AR campaign, I guess they're feeling a little bit of a pinch with all the people becoming aware that HSUS only gives over 1/2 of a percent of the millions to actual shelters? Or that PETA has become a laughingstock, but they don't really care, because they're just the clown to make everyone think all the AR crowd is ineffective whackos?

So disgusted right now, I need to go bang my head against a wall to calm down.

When is/was this on?

[MarkS]

Is there any kind of a write up on this at CNN's site? Like a teaser or a 'coming attractions' blurb? I checked their website and didn't see anything about it.

[rabernet]

It was already in progress when this post was started, it was on at 7 pm EST Monday evening. I received the e-mail 30 minutes into the show.

Perhaps the reason they chose to do a special on this subject is because there isn't much of a fight on the other side. The other side is so mainstream it would make for really boring t.v.

Personally, I am a vegetarian for AR and health reasons. I have nothing against Animal Rights but extremists take it too far, I think. Personally I would have liked to see this show. Of course, many extremist groups do not think we should have pets. That is one part of AR I do not agree with.

Exactly. If we can't get some folks together to start actually making some NOISE, then the public is going to listen to THESE people. After all, they are the only ones who are actually talking, aren't they?

I created this Squidoo page as an experiment: http://www.squidoo.com/reptilesmakegreatpets

Sadly, it's getting 0 attention. I guess Squidoo isn't popular enough. Does anyone know of a similar site that is? Keep in mind, it does no good for us to talk to each other, we have to talk to 'them'--the non-herper folks out there.

[nixer]

are they going to include all the federal and state charges these morons have been arrested and charged with also?
how about that nice fbi reports
