Last week, a senate committee held hearings on the terrorist war against Life Sciences Research (Huntingdon), by SHAC and other liberationists, which I have described in this blog and elsewhere. The New York Stock Exchange is the most recent apparent appeaser of SHAC, changing its mind at the last minute about listing Life Sciences on the Big Board, and refusing to explain itself to the senators. This story has been little reported here in the States, but was carried by the BBC, since SHAC has also been very active in the UK.
But even the BBC didn’t report that Jerry Vlasak, the spokesperson at the hearings for the terrorists, asserted that animals and humans are “morally equal,” and claimed that the “murder” of those “who hurt animals and will not stop after being told to stop” is “morally justified.”
And the reaction of PETA to such hate and overt threats of violence? Silence. Utter silence. But it did issue a press release critical of Jennifer Lopez for wearing fur. Good to know it has its moral priorities straight.
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.
