These folks keep getting more and more weird and filled with spite.

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than
luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not
respectable, and wealthy, not rich;to listen to stars and birds, babes
and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act
frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let
the spritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common-
this is my symphony." -- William Henry Channing 1839

After recent attacks against vivisectors who abuse, torture and kill
animals inside laboratories in Santa Cruz, California, the Humane
Society of the United States (HSUS) offered $2500 of donor's money to
add to the reward offered for the arrest of those liberationists who
participated in the actions. Only last year People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA) was discovered regularly killing healthy,
homeless dogs and cats and tossing their bodies in trash dumpsters.
Yet millions of people who purport to care about animals send these
two organizations tens of millions of dollars every year. Tens of
millions of dollars wasted on expensive office buildings, six-figure
salaries, millions of trinkets mailed with fundraising letters and
ridiculous lettuce costumes; tens of millions of dollars that could be
funding a serious struggle for animal liberation.

Alternatively, despite its persistent and growing success, the North
American Animal Liberation Press Office operates on a few thousand
dollars a year, donated by individuals who know every dime of their
donation is used by unpaid volunteers to spread the message that
animal liberation is an attainable goal, but a goal that requires the
complete commitment of increasing numbers of animal liberationists. A
vitally important message of the Press Office, that is now being heard
by millions, is that animal liberationists have noble goals and a long
history of fighting for animal liberation. Furthermore, these animal
liberationists use the very same tactics that have been successfully
used in all the important liberation struggles throughout history.

More and more animal liberationists are stepping forward to directly
save the lives of animals by removing them from conditions of immense
suffering and pain. They're also making it increasingly difficult for
humans to exploit, torture, and murder innocent animals and continue
doing business as usual. POM Wonderful Juice company no longer cuts
the penile arteries of rabbits and force feeds them their juice, 30
fewer non-human primates are being tortured and then experiencing
miserable deaths at the hands of UCLA vivisector Dario Ringach, who
quit animal experimentation after his colleagues were attacked by
liberationists; and hundreds of suppliers and customers have stopped
funding Huntingdon Life Sciences as a direct result of liberationists'
actions. Tell the animals still imprisoned and being brutalized that
another hundred years of polite protests and letter writing campaigns
might one day alleviate their suffering. Or, as liberationists have
said, get busy out there and make a real difference for the animals.

And go ahead, send that $20 every month to PETA so their mortgage
payment gets made on time, or that $40 to HSUS so Wayne Pacelle can
cash his six-figure paycheck. Or find a way to really help the animals
languishing in laboratory cages, waiting for a human to grab them,
strap them into a metal device, insert electrodes into their brain or
poison them with nicotine or methamphetamines. Help that chained dog
get a new lease on life with someone who has the compassion to really
care for her. Cut the fences that condemn millions of mink and foxes
to anal electrocution and skinning so some rich white woman can make
her sadistic fashion statement.

If you truly cannot do what needs to be done, then consider supporting
the Press Office and other serious, liberation organizations. To find
out how you can donate once or monthly, drop as an email or give us a
