The Conservative Fellah:
While I agree with you that extremist groups like SHAC and PETA are a problem, accusing the Humane Society of funding terrorism because one of their leaders once gave a speech with some people who used to belong to an organization linked to SHAC is a very large stretch.
SHAC has committed no murders, no suicide bombings - they've used extreme vandalism, invasion of privacy, arson, and other terrorist tactics - but linking to two websites which appear biased is no way to prove that. One of the sites, as pointed out, wasn't even an article, but a forum post, in which no one needs credentials or even has to give their real name.
If you want to prove a point, stick with more mainstream sources which have standards of factchecking and reliability. Fox News will do, even though they're not my cup of tea. But it's not hard. Five minutes of research led me to three articles: two from the New York Times and one from the Financial Times. (
Here,
here, and
here). They show pretty clearly that SHAC is a pretty nasty piece of work, as are the people they oppose - Huntington Life Sciences. On the whole, no good guys here, except for the countless and tireless scientists, doctors, and animal rights activists who work to protect human lives and prevent unnecessarily abusive treatment of animals.
