Here is another example of the growing radicalism that is sweeping the animal rights/liberation movement. Theft, threats of violence, intimidation—all to thwart medical progress in the name of saving the animals. What I find telling is this: Whenever I post an article such as this, the e-mail comes pouring in about how I am demonizing a peaceful movement. But when I ask my correspondents to condemn these tactics, they almost never will.
The only people who can reach the violent radicals are co-believers. But they are sitting on their hands. It seems to me that makes them complicit in the escalating criminality and terrorist threats.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
