This is tertiary targeting, and it is now a felony thanks to the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. Thugs from the Animal Liberation Front are targeting employees of Wachovia, Corporation—a financial company—vandalizing their property and otherwise terrorizing them. Why is ALF targeting employees of a financial company? Wachovia owns stock in GlaxoSmithKline, which does business with Huntingdon Life Sciences, that the terrorists want to drive out of business for conducting animal research. Such is the fanaticism that is bred by animal rights/liberation when its primary leadership—Gary Francione excepted—generally refrain from the kind of vigorous criticism against violence and intimidation in the name of the animals that might influence their co-believers to remain peaceful and within the law. Indeed, PETA ludicrously extols these types of actions by likening them to the Underground Railroad’s liberating slaves. Let us just hope that some fanatic doesn’t decide to become John Brown.
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.
