PCRM
"Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine "
A PCRM spokesman called for political assassinations. PCRM representatives frequently appear as featured speakers at animal-rights events. When Dr. Jerry Vlasak addressed the "Animal Rights 2003" convention as a PCRM spokesperson, he openly advocated murdering doctors whose research requires the use of animals. "I don't think you'd have to kill -- assassinate -- too many," Vlasak told the assembled activists. "I think for 5 lives, 10 lives, 15 human lives, we could save a million, 2 million, 10 million non-human lives."

Barnard is not a nutritionist, a registered dietician or an endocrinologist. He's a non-practicing psychiatrist. He is also PETA's "medical advisor" and president of the PETA Foundation.
PCRM is 95-percent medically untrained. PCRM boasts that its membership includes 5,000 doctors and 100,000 laypersons -- an admission that more than 95 percent of the "Physicians Committee" never went to medical school. But PCRM offers a free "membership" and magazine subscription to anyone claiming to be a doctor, so the "5,000" number may be artificially inflated by medical professionals who sign up for the free waiting-room literature.
Charity starts anywhere but with PCRM. PCRM discourages Americans from making donations to health charities like the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the American Foundation for AIDS Research, the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, and the American Red Cross -- solely because they support disease research that requires animals.
PCRM is an animal rights group disguised as a health organization. Its primary goal is to remove meat and dairy foods from our diet by demonizing them as "unhealthy." People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has already steered more than $1.3 million to PCRM. Animal People News wrote in 2002 that PETA and PCRM are so closely connected that they should be considered "a single fundraising unit."
