Remember our friends PETA, who decided to have a pop at us anglers a few years back? Well, you?ll be delighted to know that in the US, thanks to a robust attempt to counter the animal rights movement by a pressure group called the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), PETA are coming under some serious pressure following revelations that they?ve been killing many of the unwanted or uncared for animals donated to them. PETA as we know have a multi million dollar annual budget some of which could have been spent on caring for these creatures, but they chose to euthanase them. See the story at www.petakillsanimals.com and /or the CCF website at

For those of you who are interested in the phenomenon of animal rights, and what drives the fanatical supporters of this cause, can I recommend a US website/blog called Animal Crackers, that is updated on an almost daily basis by its author, Brian O?Connor. Brian is a retired Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology who is fascinated by the whole animal rights business. He?s always very thoughtful in his posts (which include commentary on developments in the UK).
Brian?s site/blog is at http://brianoconnor.typepad.com/animal_crackers/2005/06/alf_attempts_to.html. Previous posts are accessible via the column on the left.
