Animal Rights 2003 West
By Greg Lawson - ParkStRanger@aol.com
Animal Rights 2003, a conference presented by the Farm Animal
Reform Movement, took place in Los Angeles between August 1 and 6. Alex
Hershaft and his staff did a great job of running this event. Steve Best and I
were two of the more than one hundred speakers. Also in attendance were three
other friends from El Paso. We were referred to as the delegation from Texas.
We met several other vegans and activists from the lone star state. Texas was
well represented.
It was a wonderful week of workshops, speeches and vegan food during which we
shared our experiences with newcomers to the movement, learned from others,
made new friendships, renewed old ones, recharged our batteries and gained a
few pounds. When it's an all you can eat vegan buffet for breakfast, lunch and
dinner, you tend to go back for seconds.
Every day, from 9am until 5pm, we had to select which workshops we wanted to
attend of four different ones presented every hour. After dinner, the evening
speeches went until 10pm, then there was a party with a band and the late night
all you could eat free buffet. It's a good thing I dieted for a couple of weeks
before this conference.
I was really impressed by a workshop in which Carol Adams discussed some concepts
from her book Living Among Meat Eaters, which I highly recommend. One of the
basic ideas from the book, which she shared with the workshop attendees, is
that meateaters are just blocked vegetarians. Once you realize that, it becomes
much easier to deal with the teasing we vegans and vegetarians often face.
Blocked vegetarians are operating from a sense of guilt, and joking about our
eating habits is a way for them to avoid dealing with the fact that they eat
animals. If you are provoked by meateaters, read Carol's book, it has many
insights.
Steve Best gave a very good evening talk. Several people told me what a great
speaker he was and someone specifically quoted to me the best lines from that
speech: "What we owe to the animals is this....that we restore their
habitat and then leave them the (expletive deleted) alone." It was obvious
from the audience's applause and cheering that they agreed with him.
I was fortunate to give four talks, two about the annual slaughter of the bison
of Yellowstone, and how, as a National Park Service Ranger, I am very concerned
about this issue. One of my talks was about the Vegetarian Society of El Paso
in a workshop called Running a Local Group. My fourth talk was about Animal
Rights Online, my work as a journalist for ARO, and the program ACT Radio,
Animal Concerns of Texas that Steve Best and I do. That workshop also featured
Bob Linden who has been doing Go Vegan Radio in Los Angeles for the last two
and a half years.
Three of the most enjoyed speakers were Bill Maher of Politically Incorrect and
Real Time on HBO, actress Linda Blair, and the first vegan democratic candidate
for President of the United States, Dennis Kucinich. It is said that Dennis is
the only vegan member of congress. It's difficult to believe that there is only
one vegan member of congress. Dennis delivered a fiery speech and was granted
more than two standing ovations. It was an incredible experience for all who
attended. It is a thrilling idea that such a progressive thinker (and a vegan)
is so close to becoming the leader of our country. I am also sure that it was
an incredible experience for Dennis, to be so enthusiastically received by a
roomful of hundreds of people who share his concern for animals and so
overwhelmingly support him.
It's hard to describe the depth of emotions I felt, being with 700 other
vegans, vegetarians and animal advocates for a week. It was something I will
remember forever, sharing the stage with leaders of the animal rights movement.
I laughed a lot, I smiled most of the time.
I only cried three times, once for joy at arriving there, once during a slide
show of the bile extraction from black bears in China for Chinese medicine, and
once again, when it was over, when I landed at the El Paso airport.
............................
I wanted to share a bit of Dennis Kucinich's speech with you which I
transcribed from a tape. You can learn more about Dennis at Dennis Kucinich for President Campaign, 2004 -
Official Website http://www.kucinich.us/
From his speech at Animal Rights 2003 West...
"We recognize that we are in a world which truly needs compassion, that we
need to extend compassion to one another and to everything living. And that our
cause can truly be to lift up this world from a condition of suffering and
cruelty to all the creatures of this planet, and through elevating the cause of
every creature, we elevate our own humanity.
We lift up the cause of humanity by reaching out and connecting with all things
living. It is our sense of interconnection with all living things that brings
us to respect the rights of animals, that we understand that animals are not to
be lower than, that animals should not have less of a claim to existence, less
of a claim to the possibility of survival, less of a claim to dignity.
And your commitment translates into specific action, in raising the questions
that must be raised about the use of animals in research, in raising the
questions that must be raised about the use of animals in testing, in looking
at the conditions in which animals are placed on farms, in challenging a
corporate ethic which sees animals as things to be exploited and not beings
which in and of themselves have some basic rights.
Your presence here serves as a reminder to this country that our presence on
this planet has a higher calling. That we can through our activism, make light
in this world, that we can through our activism, lift up the cause of the
humblest beings, that we can through our activism, open up not only our own
hearts, but the hearts of people everywhere so that our society can become more
compassionate, so that our society can be more loving, so that our society can
create policies which are caring for animals.
Everyone of us knows a story of animal cruelty, everyone of us knows how in one
way or another official policies have sanctioned cruelty to animals. I will
work with you, to put compassion into action in our policies with respect to
animals in this country and I will work with you to have America set a higher
standard, not only for this country, but for the world, to make sure that all
of God's creatures, that all animals are given a chance to have dignity in our
society and are given a chance to experience the appreciation they should have
as living beings."

Tiger Fleet
Over the last two and a half years that it has crisscrossed the
United States, SHARK's Tiger video truck has proven itself to be the most effective
weapon of compassionate and nonviolent direct action in the animal protection
movement. The Tiger has graphically exposed a long and still growing list of
animal abuses, including but not limited to rodeos, bullfighting,
slaughterhouses, the fur industry, Korean dog torture/slaughter, dolphin
slaughter, circuses and most recently, shoemaker Adidas' support of the
mass-murder of kangaroos in Australia.
The Tiger followed the Olympic torch across the country, educating hundreds of
thousands of people about the cruelty of rodeos. The Tiger has sent fur wearers
literally running to escape responsibility for their theft of the skins of
others. The Tiger has already created enough public pressure to force uncaring
administrators at Baylor University in Waco, Texas to make certain improvements
in the way the school cares for its live bear "mascots," and the
truck will go on to make more changes in this area, where animals have been
typically considered mere possessions to be used, abused and discarded.
The beauty of the Tiger is that it can expose any type of abuse in a way that
is highly targeted, completely unedited, and very, very hard-hitting. People do
not have to visit a Website or come to a meeting. The Tiger goes to people
where they work, play, shop, worship or whatever. Unless someone is hidden
within a windowless cell, they are likely in Tiger territory. Unfortunately,
there is only one Tiger truck.
It is a mystery to me why the animal protection movement has not jumped on the
effort to bring the message of compassion out to the uninformed masses. Only
one other truck close to the scale of the Tiger has been built, and
interestingly it was again by a small organization run by lawyer Lori Peterson
in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Although SHARK applauds the use of smaller vans as
display vehicles by smaller organizations, the movement needs the "heavy
weaponry" represented by a large Tiger-type vehicle.
I find the lack of forward momentum in this area to be indicative of a lack of
leadership, dedication and commitment. Hundreds of millions of dollars come
into this movement every year. Yet, a tiny fraction of that money at best goes
to bring our message from the animal rights conferences and meetings, out to
the masses. This is unacceptable. There should be no higher priority than
getting the issues and images of animal abuse out to the public. SHARK can wait
no longer for others to pick up the ball. Therefore, I am proud and excited to
announce SHARK's intent to build two more Tiger trucks, with completion expected
before the end of the year. We also intend to upgrade the original Tiger to an
even more effective and invincible weapon of nonviolence.
In making this announcement we are putting two different groups on notice:
animal abusers and animal advocacy organizations. Animal abusers like Adidas,
Baylor University, the Rodeo Mafia, etc., already know who we are and what the
Tiger is, and now they can expect to see a lot more of both. However, every
major animal protection group now must consider the following questions: if a
small group like SHARK can build a fleet of these compassionate war machines,
why haven't the (much) larger organizations already done so, and when will they
start? Why doesn't this movement already have at least one video truck in each
state?
We have somewhat jokingly named this building project the "Terminator
Fleet" - T1, T2, and T3. One truck will be stationed on the West Coast,
another will be kept on the East Coast, and one will be in the midsection of
the country. We also anticipate excursions into Canada, and very likely Mexico.
This Terminator Fleet will strategically target, expose, and terminate various
animal cruelty issues across North America. Nonviolent "Seek and
Destroy" by way of public education is our battle plan. Additionally,
we'll lead by example to expose and terminate the inefficiency and waste within
the movement. We are going to make it very difficult for any sizable
organization to NOT have a fleet of mobile display vehicles.
We know that the animal abusers will dig their own graves in the court of
public opinion if we can just get the message out. Perhaps a greater lesson to
teach now is to animal protectors, to show that we can nonviolently kick ass.
If you aren't convinced, just watch us; SHARK is going to lead the way.
Now we must raise funds to build this Terminator Fleet. We also need a secure
base of operations for the West Coast and East Coast Tigers, and good, mature,
dedicated people to crew them. So many times I hear people talking about how
they would do ANYTHING to help the animals. Really? Well, here is your chance!
We hope to have the new Tigers paid off within a couple years, and we then
intend to build three more as quickly as possible -- for a total of six. In
this effort, I am looking for very real support, as opposed to mere kind words.
Money is what will pay for these trucks, not words. I am asking for the support
of every person who understands the importance of bringing animal issues out to
the public. I believe it is the only hope the animals have.
In closing, I encourage the leadership of the animal protection to take some
real action. There are too many "talkers," and far too few
"walkers" in this movement. I also encourage those who speak of the
use of violence in what is supposed to be a compassionate, nonviolent movement
to back off the rhetoric, and get to the real world, hard work of taking our
message to the mean streets. That is where change is to be made.
If you really want to help animals, join in the effort to build the Terminator
Fleet. Millions of lives are at stake. Failure is not an option.

Steve Hindi

Once again, we wish to thank all of our generous donors. There is no such thing
as a small contribution so please keep sending those checks; every dollar you
send puts us closer to a new fleet. In the last couple of years, some very generous
donors have earmarked contributions for the second Terminator. Consequently, we
have saved about 2/3 of the money for the construction of the next war machine.
But we know this movement has very deep pockets. In fact, we could have already
built a video truck in each state. The technology exists. The money certainly
exists. Now it's time to make it happen. Help us finance T2 and T3 so we can
order three more Terminators next time.

Animal Protection Organizations Worldwide
Unite To Stop Slaughter of Canadian Seals
WASHINGTON (August 15, 2003) – Animal protection and environmental
conservation groups from around the world - led by The Humane Society of the United
States (HSUS) - today joined in unified worldwide opposition to the Canadian
commercial seal hunt.
As one of its first actions, the international coalition of animal protection
groups signed a full-page advertisement in today’s New York Times asking readers
to contact the Canadian government and voice their opposition to the seal
slaughter. Over the next three years, The HSUS and its supporters will attempt
to raise $3 million or more to finance additional advertising to galvanize
public opinion and end the seal hunt. Canada has announced it will allow the
legal slaughter of almost 1,000,000 seals, most aged 12 days to 12 weeks over
the next three years.
In addition to The HSUS, the groups include, the Animal Protection Institute
(API), the Bellerive Foundation, the Born Free Foundation, the International
Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), the International Wildlife Coalition (IWC), The
Fund for Animals, Respect for Animals, the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), the World Society for the Protection of Animals
(WSPA) and three branches of Humane Society International. Collectively the
groups represent tens of millions of members and constituents worldwide.
“This unites the global animal welfare community in the strongest possible
opposition to the needless and inhumane killing of Canadian seals,” said John
W. Grandy, Ph.D., HSUS senior vice president for wildlife and habitat
protection. “We intend to use the power of our collective voice to expose the
Canadian government’s callous disregard for the lives of these innocent
creatures. The slaughter must end.”
The HSUS launched the new “Protect Seals: Do Something” campaign in June
following a decision by the Canadian government to increase the annual seal
killing quote to 350,000 seals. The campaign includes a major advertising
blitz, a letter and e-mail writing effort targeted at the Canadian government
to express opposition to the seal hunt, and a web site, www.protectseals.org,
to educate consumers on the seal hunt and facilitate campaign activities.
According To Rebecca Aldworth of the International Fund for Animal Welfare
(IFAW), first hand observer of the hunt this past spring, “It is an
unbelievably cruel massacre. An independent veterinary panel, including two
participants from the United States, concluded that up to 42 percent of the
seals they studied at the 2001 seal hunt were likely skinned alive. In
addition, a significant number of seals are shot in open water and escape to
die slowly under the ice, and these seals are not recovered or counted in
official kill statistics – not a pretty picture.”
And, these are young seals. The Canadian government’s own statistics show that
95% of the animals killed in Canada’s seal hunt are “babies” aged less than
three months. “What happens on the ice is nothing short of shocking,” said Dan
Morast of the International Wildlife Coalition. “This is the largest hunt of
marine mammals anywhere in the world and it simply cannot be justified or
defended.”
Even more disturbing is the fact that the Canadian government provides millions
of dollars of subsidies to the sealing industry. “In fact, there is little
about the sealing industry that is self-sustaining,” said David Phillips,
executive director of Earth Island Institute’s Marine Mammal Project.
“Subsidizing an industry that only operates for a few weeks a year and creates
only the equivalent of 100-150 full-time jobs is simply a bad investment on the
part of the Canadian government and, frankly does a tremendous disservice to
the sealers. Canada owes them a better future.”
“This travesty is of major concern to all of us who seek a better world for
animals,” said Michael Kennedy, director, Humane Society International –
Australia.” Most of the world believed this hunt was a thing of the past and
when Canada announced last spring that it would kill over one million seals
over the next three years, the world community of animal protection
organizations was stunned.”
“For a country of Canada’s stature and reputation to be associated with this
cruelty is truly monumental. Does Canada really expect people to vacation there
if this hunt continues?” asked Michael Markarian, president of The Fund for
Animals.
The HSUS is the nation's largest animal protection organization with over seven
million members and constituents. The HSUS is a mainstream voice for animals,
with active programs in companion animals, wildlife, animals in research and
farm animals and sustainable agriculture. For nearly 50 years, The HSUS has
worked to protect all animals through legislation, litigation, investigation,
education, advocacy and field work. The non-profit organization is based in
Washington, DC and has 10 regional offices across the country. For more
information, visit The HSUS’ Web site – www.hsus.org. Humane Society
International is the international arm of The Humane Society of the United
States. It is represented by three principal affiliates: Humane Society
International- Australia, Humane Society International-Asia, and Humane Society
International-U.K.

Memorable Quote
“We use a method (vivisection) which continues to lead to terrible mistakes,
which kills thousands of people...none of which can be predicted under animal
laboratory conditions...I have had talks with many doctors and scientists, who
are perfectly
convinced that animal testing is dangerous, not only for the animals, but also,
and most of all, for human beings...It is only, I believe, by consolidating the
link-up of doctors against animal experiments with lawyers and politicians that
we have a fair chance of achieving real progress.”
