The quotes seemed designed to show them as extremists and/or insincere liars. They had a page with quotes from animal rights activists, but as I was reading, I noticed that they were very unfavorable quotes from such activists as Wayne Pacelle and Ingrid Newkirk. So, I'm like, waaaaaait a minute. Who are these guys? And here's the answer.

The line about using Tylenol was like setting a pack of firecrackers off beneath the extremists at Alley Cat Allies, who are pretty notorious for claiming that feral cats are “a natural part of the landscape” and “play important roles in the ecosystem.” ” Wait, what?

Lanthier, a veterinarian and walrus researcher who took the helm in Calgary two years ago, says the cancellation of the polar bears exhibit might please some animal-rights extremists, but the reality is a blow to Canada's white bears.

I think they are clever cowards who use extremists to hide their work and to obfuscate the truth about what they do to animals and whether it is truly necessary. I do believe they want prestige, tenure, royalties and patent rights. I believe they want to be gods in the laboratory. I would never advocate violence against a researcher.

Incidents like this one, led by far-right militant, anti-government extremists, should be a concern of all Americans, especially birders, hunters, environmentalists, conservationists, and anyone else concerned with keeping public lands public. www.youtube.com/watch?v=flLFQnW7CUc. v=flLFQnW7CUc.

I hate it when someone refuses to denounce extremists. Everyone who cares about animals must emphatically denounce (as well as renounce ) the use of force, coercion, or manipulation to improve the lot of animals. Why would someone even hesitate to denounce those who use violent means, other than misplaced solidarity?

The word ‘extremist’ runs a close second. Extremist’ connotes a fanatical whacko incapable of being reasoned with. Their concerns can’t be legitimate if they are “fanatical extremist terrorist whackos.” If one’s opponent is irrational, it's pointless to try to engage her in a rational dialogue.
