On WRKO this morning, I heard that an animal rights group is
planning a lawsuit in Mass. to make the board that oversees wildlife
management in the state, to put animal rights acivists on that board.
They are also planning a press conference for later today. 1/22/90

In the last two weeks, I have seen/heard three different shows
featuring animal rights activists. Is this year going to be the one
that a real push is put on to modify hunting/trapping laws??
Don't be suprised!

One tactic that should be used, when lawsuits are filed by various
"( )-rights" or other anti groups, is to look at their tax status.
The NRA itself does no political lobbying, it is the NRA-ILA that
does, hence the NRA is a non-profit organization and contributions
to them are tax-deductible, but not to the ILA.
If you notice one group or another lobbying, sponsoring lawsuits,
or engaging in other political activity ask your state Attorney General
to investigate and challenge their tax-free status.
Also, you
may be able to get the AG to investigate these groups who interfere
with legal hunts, etc., under the new anti-racketeering laws. Theirs
is certainly a conspiracy across interstate lines. It's used against
the anti-choice people successfully.
It would be interesting to sue Time and the various TV networks
for equal time under the provisions of the equal time/equal access
rules that the FCC has laid down for political campaigns. Challenge
them too when their FCC license comes up!

The equal time/equal access laws were repealed about two years ago.
Why do you think the media can get away with so much editorializing
disguised as news, without rebuttal?

Here in Springfield, Mass. a local fur dealer is suing
an animal-rights group for $10 million, for interfering
with his customers and business. I love it !
