Animal Rights Hall of Shame: Rodney Coronado

Criminals, Sex Predators and Drug Addicts. Welcome to the World of Animal Rights.

Meet Rodney Coronado.

Convicted Arsonist. Anarchist. 

Rodney Adam Coronado, like the majority of animal rights activists has no education in animals.  He's just an anarchist looking for fame and glory.   The animal rights field gives that in spades.  Coronado is a worldwide celebrity. 

He started out as a pirate joining the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society back in the mid-80's as a teenager.  The terrorists of Sea Shepherd are famous for ramming and sinking fishing ships.   Their boats are fitted with water cannons, a concrete filled bow to help them 'ram' other boats and an attachment labeled the 'can opener' to help them tear open ship hulls.  Sporting skull and cross bones flags, anarchists like Coronado and his pal Paul Watson have made a career out of terrorizing other nations because they disagree with fishing of whales.   There is nothing cruel or inhumane about fishing for whales.  Whales are nothing more than a really big fish.  Fishing for whale is no different than fishing for salmon.   Whales just feed a lot more people. 

With Watson's support Coronado executed an attack to ram and sink two fishing boats and destroy a processing facility causing $2 million in damages.  The operation was successful and on November 9, 1986 he and a fellow terrorist sank half of Iceland's whaling fleet.

In November 1986, Coronado and David Hewitt sabotaged a whaling station and sunk two whaling ships in Reykjavik, Iceland.

After boasting about the operation in the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) publication, No Compromise, he was arrested in Canada and jumped bail.  Coronado then turned to fire for fun and kicks, by burning down a university research lab in Michigan, a farm at Oregon State University and broke into more than one farm to steal animals and 'set them free.' 

From middle to late 1991, he attacked Oregon State University and five other sites, including private farms and other research facilities.   The attacks ranged from vandalism to firebombing.  One attack completely destroyed a farm in Yamhill, Oregon. 

In 1992 he firebombed a laboratory at Michigan State University.  The explosion and resulting blaze destroyed three decades of medical research turning it into ash, some of it previously unpublished and now lost forever.   The fire caused more than $1 million in damages.  The ALF immediately claimed credit for the fire.   Coronado was quickly suspected since the FBI already suspected he was behind a number of other arson attacks.   What Coronado didn't know is that the FBI had finally decided to go after these domestic terrorists and had launched "Operation Bite Back."

He wiggled his way through a first-floor window of Anthony Hall before kicking down the door to the office of Richard Aulerich. The MSU researcher spent decades studying nutrition and the decline of the natural mink population. Coronado believed Aulerich's research was funded by the commercial fur industry.

Inside Aulerich's office, Coronado built a pyre using wooden desk drawers, research papers and a makeshift firebomb. He recorded his actions on video, donning a mask to protect his identity.

Coronado set the timer on his makeshift bomb before walking out. He had confidence in his work; he'd perfected the technique while carrying out half a dozen prior attacks against other universities and fur farms on behalf of the Animal Liberation Front.

At the time his bomb went off, the building was filled with students.  Luckily they all managed to get out and no one was harmed.  While firefighters were attempting to put the blaze out, Coronado and other terrorists were overwhelming University fax lines by sending an avalanche of animal rights propaganda to University machines, clogging and shutting down the phone lines. 

He went on the run and spent two years hiding on a series of Indian reservations under aliases such as 'Leonard Robideau.'  First at Standing Rock Sioux in South Dakota before ending up in Arizona while the FBI searched for him.  Finally caught, he plead guilty to arson in a deal to have other charges against him dropped and was sentenced to almost five years in prison.    Even then, at one point, he attempted to flee while handcuffed. 

During the fight, his support committee received a check for over $70,000 from PETA while he played one victim card after another.  He claimed he was innocent.  He claimed to have simply been in the area.  He claimed his First Amendment rights and stated he was just a 'spokesman' for ALF.    

Like many convicted felons in the animal rights field, he's now a sought after public speaker and author.   From at least 2002 until his arrest in 2006, under the guise of the First Amendment, he advocated violence against various targets including during a 60 minutes interview. 

In 2002 in one of his public speaking events, he bragged that he was responsible for at least six other arsons.   In January 2003 during a speech at Washington, DC's American University, he demonstrated how to built a firebomb to university students.    During an August speech in San Diego held 15 hours after a $50 million dollar eco-terrorist caused arson fire at a condominium project nearby, he stated that fire is a cleansing force.  When an audience member asked him about it, Coronado stated, “I wouldn’t be surprised if investigators found a device similar to this at the fire scene last night."  While the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) took credit for the fire, authorities have wondered of Coronado was involved.  For a time he was an editor at their Earth First! publication.

He served eight months in jail for interfering with and trying to kill U.S. Forest Service employees who were trying to capture two to four mountain lions in 2004.   Officials had closed Sabino Canyon to capture and relocate several mountain lions who had attacked humans and were stalking pedestrians near an elementary school.   Coronado and his friends laid traps for the agents and laid false scent trails.  He was indicted on a felony charge of trying to injure an officer of the United States.  To terrorists like Coronado, the life of a mountain lion is more important than the lives of children engaging in everyday activities like going to school. 

After 10 days of protests, Game and Fish decided to try to tranquilize, capture and move the lions to a wildlife rehabilitation center in north Scottsdale, more than 120 miles away.

But in the next six days, a state-hired trapper using dogs found only scattered lion tracks. The only dramatic moment came March 24, when authorities arrested Rod Coronado, an EarthFirst! activist who was dropping lion scent liquid into the canyon to mislead the dogs.

Coronado was arrested in February 2006 and charged for teaching and promoting terrorism during his numerous public speeches and interviews over the past several years.   He hid behind the First Amendment and claimed victim status.   He plead guilty and was sentenced to serve a year in prison.  After being released in 2008 he reconnected with his terrorist network and was sent back to jail for violating the terms of his probation. 

It shouldn't shock you that he eventually figured out that he could make a living running a non-profit scam.   In 2013 he founded "Great Lakes Wolf Patrol," a non-profit that promotes protecting wolves from legal controlled hunts.

In a 2017 interview he admitted that he regularly goes into the woods to track and confront hunters in Wisconsin and Minnesota and waits 'outside their homes' so he can stalk them.  He drives a camouflaged truck with a fake 'hound box' in the bed to help him blend in with the hunters he's stalking and setting cyber lynch mobs online.   Hunters have faced online death threats because of his harassment.   He also admitted that he'd continue his criminal ways if he could get away with it and admitted that he frequently lied about his criminal past.  He was responsible for all of the attacks the FBI said he was.   

“This is another over-the-top move by a convicted violent animal rights activist,” said Nick Pinizzotto, USSA president and CEO. “Coronado is known for his extremism and I encourage all sportsmen to be very aware when they enter the field in Wisconsin. Hunter harassment is illegal and should be reported immediately.”

Coronado today. 

Animal Rights Hall of Shame: Scotlund Haisley

Criminals, Sex Predators and Drug Addicts. Welcome to the World of Animal Rights.

Meet Scotlund Haisley.

High School Dropout. Drug Addict. Sex Predator. Armed Robber. Private Vigilante.

Scotlund Haisley like the majority of animal rights activists has no documented education in animals. Besides dropping out of high school, this heroin junkie couldn't even read until he was an adult. Like many criminals, he went to work in the 'animal rescue' field for a living.   He started working in animal shelters in Washington, DC, New York City, California and even took a turn with PETA. He had aspirations of stardom that working for a living just wasn't providing him.  He didn't want to clean up after and take care of animals, he wanted stardom, money, prostitutes and drugs.   Cocaine and heroin were his favorites.  

He was quickly hired by pal and fellow sex predator Wayne Pacelle to join the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) running an illegal private SWAT team. HSUS calls it "Emergency Services." Fine words from a vegan lobbyist group that doesn't run any pet shelters in America. After numerous raids of law abiding animal owners, the lawsuits started piling up. The first was Normal Pang of Hawaii. Falsely accused of animal abuse and labeled a hoarder by the media, Pang sued HSUS and Haisley in 2009. The Pang lawsuit exposed that Haisley was the one who developed the fake law enforcement looking badges that Haisley had the HSUS raid teams wearing.
  

“I want the scum to think we are law enforcement,” Graves said Haisley told them.  Graves and Schwartz then took their concern to then-Humane Society of the U.S. president Wayne Pacelle.  “I like the cowboy ways that Scotlund brings to the team,” Graves said Pacelle responded.

The problem is.  HSUS is not law enforcement.  They are a private Washington, DC vegan charity.  They have absolutely no law enforcement authority. 

“HHS [the Hawaiian Humane Society] and HSUS both launched a

media campaign of vilification against [Pang], accusing him of animal

abuse and neglect and other unsupportable acts of criminal conduct."

 Next Haisley led the illegal HSUS raid of Dan Christensen in South Dakota. His goal was to shut down and destroy a highly regarded hunting dog kennel. Dan Christensen fought back and proved that the search warrant was illegal and he had done nothing wrong. As is typical in these cases, the 'rescuers' actually killed 28 of Christensen's dogs through their inept and incompetent care. Christensen sued HSUS and Scotlund Haisley for $5 million dollars.

As part of the Christensen lawsuit an email from Meredith Shields resigning from HSUS came to light in which she stated, “Mr. Haisley told an employee of the Department to wear an HSUS t-shirt to a strip club while on deployment because “you’ll get better lap dances.”” The Christensen case was so egregious that Forrest Lucas of Lucas Oil financed a movie about the case and others like it where innocent American dog breeders have been targeted and framed.

In September of 2010, one year from the date of the illegal raid

that changed his life forever and destroyed his hunting dog kennel, Dan filed a $5 million dollar federal lawsuit against Second Chance Rescue, HSUS, Scotlund Haisley, Turner County, and the County Sheriff for going along with it all. Dan sued for the deprivation of his Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights, malicious prosecution, emotional distress, criminal trespass, and intentional damage to private property. The Art of Terror: Inside the Animal Rights Movement.

Here's a picture from the illegal Christensen raid.  Look how clean and healthy the dog looks.  The white parts of its coat are almost spotless.  The lawsuit revealed a number of hidden facts about the HSUS raid team from the mass resignations from those who didn't want to work for a drug addict to discoveries of his sex pervert ways.    After the lawsuits and controversies started piling up over HSUS's raids, he moved over to leading In Defense of Animals (IDA), lasting there less than a year.

Haisley then capitalized on his base of cult followers to form his own private vigilante force known as the Animal Rescue Corps (ARC). ARC was initially financed by Ady Gil, the same animal rights activist who gave a pile of money to the Sea Shepherd Society.  Haisley specialized in targeting the poor and the elderly for destruction. The media couldn't get enough of this dirt bag. He was labeled a hero and reporters fawned at his every word.   

Even when his drug use was front and center, reporters lapped it up.  When this heroin junkie was violently sick in front of a reporter in Nashville, Tennessee, he played a victim card and claimed the 'ammonia fumes' were slowing killing him. 

Conditions on a breeder's property during an animal rescue operation near Nashville were so toxic that the leader of the rescue team nearly died from ammonia poisoning.  ABC News 5, April 19, 2018. 

Local reporters gushed that he was suffering from these toxic environments these elderly animal abusers were living in and gee whiz!  This hero almost died and had to have a blood transfusion to live!   Let's think about this shall we?  Not one reporter in Nashville spent one moment asking why their vulnerable elderly were living in a supposedly toxic environment that almost killed a man 30 years their junior.   Why is that?  Why was an out of town junkie's word taken over that of their local residents?   Why didn't anyone spend 30 seconds on Doctor Google to find out that a blood transfusion is not any recognized treatment for breathing in ammonia fumes.  

After terrorizing Americans across this nation in many southern states, South Dakota, Iowa, Hawaii and others, he was finally ousted at ARC in September 2018. Not because he was a drug addict and criminal. Oh no! He was thrown out for embezzling money from what already is a con to start with. He wasn't sharing the wealth but was taking too much for himself!  His $100,000 salary just wasn't enough to support a wife and three kids with prostitutes and drugs on the side.  

In typical Haisley style he told an unquestioning media and his tens of thousands of cult followers that he was retiring 'for his health' because raiding animal breeders had put him in liver failure.  Dozens of sob stories followed along with GoFundMe campaigns to put more money in Haisley's pocket.

Funny enough, I don't know a single animal breeder who has ever died from liver failure - caused by their breeding animals.  

After leaving ARC, he was quickly arrested in Maryland for domestic battery. Turns out besides being an adrenaline junkie who terrorizes the elderly for kicks, he likes to beat up his wife!   Who's shocked by this?

According to the arrest report, complainant Lynne Haisley, wife of Scotlund Haisley for 16 years and mother of their three minor children, told responding police officers that Haisley “struck her approximately five times with a closed fist. Then he grabbed her by the neck, and began choking her. Ms. Haisley could not recall if he used one or two hands to choke her. Ms. Haisley estimated that her husband choked her for 30-60 seconds.

His arrests in Maryland for domestic battery and violating the subsequent protective orders were quickly followed by an arrest in Washington, DC for two armed robberies of the same Subway store. Yep, armed robbery!  He held a gun to the back of an employee's head to steal $300. 

His past decades of being a sheriff's darling and leading private vigilante SWAT teams is over.  At the end of 2019 he was sentenced to 46 months in prison for armed robbery.  I'm sure once he's released he'll start a new career as a misunderstood 'artist' like convicted university bomber Rodney Coronado.   Why not?  After all, when it comes to animals, Americans have proven they are pretty gullible.   As for the media, 'animal abuse' stories are a proven money maker.  They could care less that most of their stories are lies from start to finish. 

Wayne Pacelle and Scotlund Haisley, HSUS.

Animal Rights Hall of Shame: Nasim Aghdam

Criminals, Sex Predators and Drug Addicts. Welcome to the World of Animal Rights.

Meet Nasim Aghdam, aka  'Nasim VeganBreeze.' 

Attempted Serial Killer. 

Aghdam at 2009 PETA protest.
 (Charlie Neuman / Union-Tribune). 

When reading her name, the common reaction is WHO? When you say, "YouTube Shooter" you get more nods. Nasim Aghdam is the Iranian born San Diego vegan animal rights activist who opened fired at the YouTube headquarters in 2018. She shot and wounded three people before killing herself. 

The mainstream media has focused on her grievance that she wasn't getting enough views on her videos and YouTube had stopped paying her. What they selectively hide or downplay was the content of the videos.

San Bruno police said that "the investigation is now looking into a website that appears to show the same woman complaining about YouTube stifling traffic and suppressing videos.

Censorship on all social media platforms is alive and well but animal rights terrorists get a free pass on just about all of them. Aghdam wasn't getting the attention she felt she deserved because she just wasn't very good. Like many people today, she was trying to make a living making videos of herself.  She was literally a cult of her own personality.   Trouble was, not enough people were buying her fantasy.   She made video after video ranting against YouTube and comparing her make-believe talents to Miley Cyrus or Nicki Minaj. She made such a good living at promoting herself on social media that at 38 years old she lived with her grandmother instead of working at a real day job. 

Besides taking part in PETA protests over the years and making numerous vegan videos, she started a non-profit animal rights group called 'Peace Thunder' in 2011.  She appeared at numerous animal rights protests in California from anti-hunting and anti-fur to protesting at Sea World. 

Her family became concerned when she suddenly left the family home, refused all contact with them and started apparently driving to YouTube headquarters. They reported her to the police as a possible threat. They told the police they were afraid she was going there to cause harm. San Bruno police had a chance to stop the shooting. They spoke to her just hours before she opened fire. But like most of law enforcement these days, they also give animal rights activists a free pass to commit whatever crimes they want. 

They deemed this killer wasn't a threat. A woman who posted pictures of herself in ninja gear and camouflage clothing and spent years filming and posting threats against YouTube just wasn't a threat folks!

It gets even better. The media tried to white wash her background from the start. News outlets reported the shooting as nothing more than a domestic violence incident from a scorned lover instead of the animal rights terror attack it was.

Besides constant ranting against YouTube she posted many disturbing pictures and videos showing her unhealthy obsession with a rabbit. It died shortly before the shooting which may have led to her meltdown.

'From a very young age I used to care about the animals and their welfare, and think about the source of meat and where it came from and I knew that the fried chicken on my dinner plate once was a beautiful yellow chick,' she told Vegan Idea World. 

She even tried to make money off her rabbit's death by posting about it extensively and filming its 'funeral.' 

It's highly ironic that the car she drove to YouTube headquarters sported a 'meat is murder' bumper sticker on it. Like many animal rights activists she believed the lives of animals matter more than the humans she went there to kill. PETA has also distanced themselves from Aghdam claiming she only participated in 2-3 protests.  Right.

When challenged with the truth about her violet threats and bizarre behavior, law enforcement tried to blame her family. They claimed that when she went missing, her father and brother didn't tell them anything about her plans.  The family disputes this. 

A woman who identified herself as a family member but would not give her name said Aghdam had been angry with YouTube for nearly a year because she felt the company was keeping her from spreading a message promoting a vegan lifestyle. Relatives called police to warn them about her frustrations.“They said she was angry at YouTube, so be careful,” the woman said, adding that police promised they would monitor Aghdam, “but they didn’t.”

Animal Rights Hall of Shame: Paul Shapiro

Criminals, Sex Predators and Drug Addicts. Welcome to the World of Animal Rights.

Meet Paul Shapiro.

Shapiro started his career as an animal rights extremist in prep-school (paid for by his lawyer daddy) by founding a group he called Compassion Over Killing promoting a vegan diet. COK made a name for itself by framing farmers with highly edited and exploitative ‘undercover’ videos that activists would sit on for months or years until just the right political time came.   As with most of these activists, Shapiro has no documented education in animals. Just an ideological opposition to eating them based upon becoming a vegan at age 13.  Like many today, his feelings matter more than science.   His actual college degree is in "peace studies."  Another useless liberal degree. 

While at COK, Shapiro was fond of protesting outside of fast food restaurants and on occasion, climbing up on their roofs.  Yeah, that's him below on the right protesting 'McMurder.'   

Shapiro has also volunteered with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). At a PETA protest outside one fast food restaurant, he carried a sign that said “The Meat Industry Equals Systematic Murder,” according to the Washington Post. As of 2003, he admitted to having been arrested a half-dozen times and having had to perform 40 hours of community service.

That's not all, COK, remember founded and run by Shapiro, used to frequently promote the Animal Liberation front (ALF) an domestic terrorism group under long term investigation by the FBI.   Besides promoting ALF activities, COK offered several ALF propaganda videos for sale.  By mailing money to COK, activists could get their own copies of these promotional ALF movies.  

After 10 years at COK making a name for himself along with Josh Balk and Miyun Park, he was hired by the Humane Society for the United States (HSUS) to launch a new campaign aimed at putting farmers out of business. Joining them in 2005, as the senior director for their so-called 'factory farming' campaign eventually rising to Vice President.  

In 2008, he was inducted into the Animal Rights Hall of Fame.  Instead like all of these activists, he belongs in the Hall of Shame.

By 2010, the complaints were piling up. Such as HSUS volunteer Ashley Rhinehart. Rhinehart met Shapiro at a talk he gave at Arizona State University, near where she was living. Shapiro made passes at her over the course of a couple of days, Rhinehart told POLITICO, “and filled me in on the fact he’s in an open relationship and that he was free to have sex with other people.”

Two days later, after she happened to see him at another vegan event, Shapiro asked Rhinehart, a 25-year-old registered nurse, to come to his car to examine a bottle of pain pills that had expired. He tried to kiss her, she said, and she turned her cheek. Shapiro went on to pressure Rhinehart to have sex for over a year. Starting in 2012 she was hired to work at the HSUS headquarters and almost immediately was targeted by predator Wayne Pacelle who kept trying to corner her alone in his office. When she reported his behavior Shapiro told her that Pacelle was also in an open relationship.

Every former employee who spoke with POLITICO said Shapiro had a habit of making sexual jokes in the office, and several remembered how he kept on his bookshelf a book called Sex at Dawn, about the flaws of monogamy. He openly discussed his philosophy of having many sexual partners with colleagues.

Still HSUS leadership covered it up. In 2015, Shapiro also emailed four male employees from his personal account a pornographic image of a man and woman having sex, according to a copy obtained by POLITICO. In another email, also from his personal account, he sent male employees an article about spider bites being a natural form of Viagra, the erectile dysfunction drug.

In September 2016 he was accused of sexually harassing a female HSUS staffer on a business trip to Boston. He told lewd jokes and walked around naked with a piece of clothing held in front of his penis. When she returned to the office she joined five other women in reporting him to human resources for sexual harassment.

“The women said Shapiro, the vice president of Farm Animal Protection, asked them to have sex and told lewd jokes in the office, according to a POLITICO investigation based on new interviews with seven current and former employees, including four of the women who filed the complaint. According to interviews, emails and an internal document reviewed by POLITICO, Shapiro suggested a female employee should “take one for the team” by having sex with a donor, sent pornography and lewd emails to male employees and discussed with colleagues his sexual philosophies, such as having as many sexual partners as possible. His alleged behavior, staffers say, led to the resignations of no fewer than five employees from 2015 to late 2017.”

Instead of being disciplined, the good ol’ boys at HSUS gave him a lateral promotion. Shapiro denies it and claims the new position had less responsibility but, in either case, his behavior was covered up and he was allowed to remain on the payroll for another 16 months until head honcho Wayne Pacelle was caught in a sexual harassment scandal of his own revealing that objectifying women is pretty much institutionalized at HSUS. Nothing shows this more than when Pacelle hired Scotlund Haisley, a long time heroin junkie who only worked in the animal rescue field in his words, because it gave him better lap dances from strippers.

HSUS VP Paul Shapiro resigned in January 2018. He was allowed to leave on his own terms despite numerous women having accused him of toxic behavior.  It appears he didn't learn anything in college when he was studying 'peace studies.'

Today Shapiro has reinvented his image yet again as the author of a book promoting plant based alternatives to meat, giving TEDx speeches and founding The Better Meat Co.

Animal Rights Hall of Shame: Kevin Kjonaas aka Kevin Chase

Criminals, Sex Predators and Drug Addicts. Welcome to the World of Animal Rights.

Meet Kevin Kjonaas aka Kevin Chase aka Kevin Jonas aka Steve Shore aka Jim Fareer (Kevin gets around). 

A convicted felon. Buddies with Lara Trump, President Trump’s daughter-in-law. A former member of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). The animal rights movement has made it their goal to subvert the Trump White House and sadly they have made huge inroads in their goal.

“She really wants to be the first First Family member that champions an animal issue,” said Kevin Chase, the Beagle Freedom Project’s head of operations. “Usually it’s military stuff, veterans, children, eating healthy. She’s like, ‘I want to finally be the voice of some animal stuff.’”

The problem is, all of the ‘animal stuff’ that Lara Trump promotes comes straight out of the mouths of criminals, perverts and sex predators. People who know nothing about animals.

People like Kevin Chase.

Chase likes to downplay and/or cover up his extensive criminal background. Like it’s no big deal. You tell me if it’s no big deal that Chase’s Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) campaign was exaggerating the harassment he subjected his victims too. The Huntingdon Life Sciences medical research laboratory with locations in both England and America was targeted for destruction by extremists from the dog killers of PETA because the animal rights movement is ideologically opposed to medical research. Chase was the leader of the American branch of SHAC. In 2006, Kjonaas (aka Chase) with six others was charged with conspiracy to violate the Animal Enterprise Protection Act (AEPA) in the first case testing the 1992 law.

Victims of the SHAC campaign, several of whom testified at trial, often endured vandalism of their homes in the dark of night, including rocks being thrown through windows, cars being overturned, messages in red paint plastered on their homes and property, unrelenting bullhorn protests in front of their homes and harassment of neighbors.

Chase and his cohorts targeted the employees of companies that he disagreed with. In order to shut down medical research and send us all back to the stone age, Chase and his pals targeted individual employees one by one to harass using his declared “top 20 terror tactics.” Chase and his criminal circle took their terror one step further by targeting the employees of insurers, financial services and investment firms that provided benefits to the employees of the company that Chase was trying to put out of business.

The “top 20 terror tactics” implicitly encouraged the invading of offices, vandalizing property and stealing documents; physical assault, including spraying cleaning fluid into someone’s eyes; smashing windows of a target’s home or flooding the home while the individual was away; vandalizing or firebombing cars and bomb hoaxes; and threatening telephone calls or letters, including threats to kill or injure someone’s partner or children.

SHAC wasn’t his first criminal campaign. Chase started his career back in the 90’s as a spokesman for the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) a group that the FBI named the #1 domestic terrorist threat in America. ALF was originally founded in England in 1976 by a convicted criminal. Bomber Ronnie Lee. Here in America, the FBI estimated that ALF and their associates were behind over 1,100 criminal acts causing over $100 million dollars in damages.

After serving six years in prison for his terror campaigns as part of the “SHAC 7,” Chase has reinvented his past by launching a new animal rights group called the Beagle Freedom Project to try and white wash his history. Nothing says cover-up like posing for pictures with cute puppies. Puppies he claims to have saved from horrific medical research labs that are torturing and killing dogs and cats. Except they aren’t. 

In 2014, one of Chase’s blinded followers who called herself “Katie Johnson” in the paperwork she filed adopted a beagle named Jerry from University of California Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Less than 24 hours later, Jerry the beagle was being paraded around as a poster child for being ‘liberated’ from cruel and sadistic medical researchers who were going to kill him. Except they weren’t.

“Jerry spent the entirety of his short life as a test subject, never getting the chance to play or even smell fresh air. “ Beagle Freedom Project.

All lies. Jerry the beagle was not a medical research subject. Jerry was at UC Davis for just a few weeks for students to observe him being examined and neutered. He was one of exactly TWO DOGS used each year for this demonstration, dogs who are always adopted out afterwards and not killed.

According to his 2015 IRS filings, Chase is pulling in $1.6 million a year from gullible donors who either don’t know his criminal history or don’t care. Donors such as Microsoft’s Bill Gates who gave Kevin Chase $500,000.

On behalf of the National Association for Biomedical Research (NABR) and our more than 360 university and corporate members nationwide, I write to express our concern with your selection of the Beagle Freedom Project (BFP) to receive $500,000 from Microsoft’s Upgrade Your World contest. While it may appear your contribution will go toward improving the lives of animals, the facts tell a different story.

It’s a sad day in America when criminals and sex predators make more money than their victims do. What is worse is that Kevin Chase has been a featured speaker on Fox News and at Washington DC’s George Washington University Law School Animal Law Program in 2018. Teaching his twisted criminal views to the next generation of America's lawyers.  Views that terrorize human beings and don't save the lives of a single animal.  

Dead Animals Follow PETA Around

There are only two things that the misnamed People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are really good at.  Bamboozling the public and killing animals.   Recently PETA has agreed to pay $49,000 to Wilber Zarate, the owner of Maya, a dog that PETA operatives were recently caught stealing and killing in Virginia.   The complicit mainstream media has gone along with PETA to rewrite Maya’s history by portraying Maya as some sort of unowned stray that they picked up out of the goodness of their heart and then accidently killed.   The media used such words as “unattended” and “unleashed” in their stories to make it look like Maya was some sort of abandoned stray but in fact, PETA stole Maya off her owner’s porch.   Of course she wasn’t leashed, she was at home!   To add insult to injury, PETA tried to give the Zarate family a vegan fruit basket in place of their dead dog.  This isn’t the first time PETA has been caught stealing and killing animals.   Back in 2005, the Piggly Wiggly Dumpster trial in North Carolina was front page news.  

"In 2005, two PETA employees were caught in North Carolina operating a mobile death van.  These activists were driving around collecting up animals to kill inside the van and dumping their bodies behind a Piggly Wiggly grocery store dumpster before heading back home to the Norfolk headquarters.  The two employees, Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook, were caught after police set up surveillance on a dumpster behind a grocery store after regularly finding trash bags filled with the bodies of dead dogs and cats in them."   Staring the Dragon in the Eye:  The Hidden Victims of Animal Extremists.

So much for PETA’s unfortunate accidents.   PETA claimed that Mr. Zarate sued them simply because “no kill” activists encouraged him to do so because they are upset that PETA kills almost every animal they get their hands on.    The complicit media helped them neatly side step the fact they were caught stealing someone’s dog. 

“Zarate had alleged that PETA operates under a broad policy of euthanizing animals, including healthy ones, because it "considers pet ownership to be a form of involuntary bondage."

Killing innocent cats and dogs aren’t the only animals that activists harm.  I've written extensively in my book, The Art of Terror:  Inside the Animal Rights Movement about the animal rights infiltration into the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).    As I wrote in my book, their head elephant expert knows nothing about elephants and their horse expert hates horses.   Activists cozy up to government in order to shut down businesses they are ideologically opposed too.   If you want proof, just look at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Regarding the 2014, USDA exotic animal symposium for tiger owners, “[S]even of the 18 subject presenters were people whose personal philosophy is hostile toward keeping exotics in captivity, against captive breeding of exotics, against hand raising of any wild animals, and who have strong ties with animal rights groups activity lobbying for laws and regulations banning exotic animal ownership completely.”    Kurtis B. Reeg, counsel for The Cavalry Group.

In an effort to shut down all of America’s zoos, PETA has sued or threatened to sue one zoo after another.    After targeting the DeYoung Zoo and others, the animal abolitionists from PETA are now targeting Cathy Stearn’s 22-acre Dale City’s Wild Things animal rehabilitation and zoological facility in Florida.   Surprising no one in the animal industry, PETA sent two activists in to work undercover at Wild Things to find abuse of animals.   PETA’s subsequent animal abuse video has caused a social media firestorm among young Americans.   Blogs and petitions wallpaper the Internet claiming Wild Things abuses baby tigers with no proof other than the word of a 20 year old brainwashed high school dropout.   Wild Things has now sued PETA operatives Jenna Jordan and Delena Pennington.   

“The suit states that the video contained false statements from an eyewitness and portrayed abusive behavior toward the animals.”

At the same time, Wild Things is fighting against a PETA/USDA lawsuit.   Of the USDA lawsuit, "On Monday, Stearn's called the USDA lawsuit unfounded and said the agency has piled on violations for minor infractions like having a nail sticking out of a wood plank. They are throwing the book at me," Stearns said. "I have some of the fattest and healthiest tigers people have seen, so tell me I'm doing something wrong."     Wild Things owner Cathy Stearns was forced to do an emergency evacuation of her tigers to save them.   Stearn's 19 tigers were transported to a private zoo in Oklahoma.   Tragically 3 tiger cubs died during the emergency evacuation.   Not willing to give up, the vegan lawyers of PETA convinced a Judge that they are somehow some sort of animal experts and demanded and were given the right to inspect a private business. 

“WIld Things' owner Cathy Stearns was forced to let PETA inside her zoo under order by a federal judge. PETA was escorted inside by U.S. Marshals.”

Let that one sink in.  The U.S. Marshalls escorted a vegan extremist group with a sordid history of killing animals into a private business and gave the extremist group protection while these private activists searched through private property.    One of the activists who accompanied PETA on their inspection was Jay Pratt, who spoke at the 2014 USDA anti-exotic animal conference. 

Once Stearns and about 20 Wild Things supporters in shirts reading "PETA kills" moved aside, the group followed PETA experts throughout the two-hour inspection, "making abusive remarks" and doing "everything they could kind of physically getting in our way," said PETA legal counsel Jenni James.

Stearns' husband, Kenneth, and son, Randy, were also armed, "touching their holsters and posturing, following us every step of the way," James said.

The court filing from PETA reads like their typical side show circus.   PETA objects to the fact that the Oklahoma Zoo sedated the tigers to safely remove them from the transport trailer then they claim the unloading was highly stressful to the animals.

“The unloading process is literally being handled like a rodeo,” Pratt said.  “People with firearms manhandling large carnivores… the cacophonous sideshow is highly stressful to the animals.”

Really?   I thought the animals were sedated?   How can they be so highly stressed if they are asleep?  Meanwhile, in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, one of PETA’s mobile slaughterhouse vans, euphemistically called the “Community Animal Project” was allegedly spotted in Houston, Texas.   

To prevent animal looting in the aftermath of natural disasters, state legislatures need to pass laws outlawing animals from being exported across state lines by anyone but their owners.   I’ve written extensively in the past about shady rescues that steal animals out of their owner’s backyards and ship them out of state to resell as tornado/hurricane rescues.  Now activists are swooping in to simply kill them on the spot while businesses such as Wild Things struggle to recover from a natural disaster.    

Sex, Violence, and Animal Rights

In the eight months since President Trump entered the White House the radical left has engulfed America in one long protest after another.   Like a two year old melting down in an epic temper tantrum, the left is unable to grasp the fact that they lost the 2016 elections.   From Pussy Marches, to accusations of Russia hiding behind every door, panic stories about Junior Zippersuit over in North Korea; to black shirted Antifa protesters attacking inert stone statutes and conservative speakers, the left seems determined to sink America into a second civil war.    These mask wearing street brawlers are attacking American citizens with clubs, baseball bats, knives, bricks, urine, feces, mace, and bottles filled with concrete and rocks.

After all, everyone knows the best way to make your point about racism is to throw bottles of urine at people.   Right?   Boston has the right start, publicly name and shame every single one of these violent extremists.   Portland and other cities should follow Boston’s example. 

“Portland, Oregon Police Chief Michael Marshman revealed on Friday that riot cops forced Antifa protesters out of local parks during a Jun. 4 protest after the anti-fascist group began launching balloons filled with feces, urine and chemicals at law enforcement.”

In San Francisco residents are outraged that some American’s have been granted a permit to pray in public.   To protest against this horrific activity they threatened to layer a public beach in dog poop and celebrate with a parade of drag queens.   Nothing says ‘save the earth’ like deliberately infecting a beach with feces while perverts dance in the streets.   Meanwhile city authorities degenerating into a hysterical quivering mass at the thought of mass prayer have asked law enforcement to deploy every available cop in the city and leftist propaganda masters like The Southern Poverty Law Center are screaming that a permit for public prayer will attract ‘hate groups.’    Don’t worry, San Francisco police are promising “over-whelming” force at this rally. 

“Hundreds of San Franciscans plan to prepare Crissy Field, the picturesque beach in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge where rightwing protest group Patriot Prayer will gather, with a generous carpeting of excrement.”

Violence from the left is nothing new.   You need look no further than at the violent extremists from the environmental and animal rights movement that the mainstream media has constantly white washed.    In the past 40 years, animal rights activists have stolen dead bodies and held them hostage, murdered animals and framed their owners for false charges of animal abuse, stolen little girl's dogs and killed them, burglarized and vandalized homes, conducted cyber-attacks, liberated and murdered tens of thousands of animals, fire bombed research labs, and on the list of crimes goes.  

Yet in 2017 just like their fellow alt-left Antifa cousins, animal rights activists are now saying their past crimes are not enough!   At this year's annual Animal Rights Conference attendees were repeatedly encouraged to commit more violent crimes.   This year’s conference was a who’s who of convicted criminals and violence supporting agitators hosted by the Farm Animal Rights Movement, Compassion over Killing, Mercy for Animals and the dog killers of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).   Joining in the fun were the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act violators of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), and other offshoots all gathered together to discuss their campaigns to rid America of hamburgers and the farmers who produce them, household pets, and fun family entertainment like zoos. 

“Activists in attendance were encouraged to be as extreme as possible to advance their goals, including breaking the law when necessary.  Attendees were also told to pressure restaurants, retail and foodservice brands to adopt certain policies with the end goal of forcing them to stop selling animal products.”

During the conference, these agitators made it crystal clear that their targets are all American farms.   For the first time activists openly boasted that organic farms and free-range farms are now all open targets for destruction.   Every animal business is a target to be shut down.   Every zoo, every pet breeder, every research lab.  They are all targets until these fanatics get their way and remove all animals from human lives and to achieve their goal of ‘total animal liberation.’  

“Jeffrey Cohan, Jewish Veg, stated that “we know animal agriculture is the leading cause of pollution on our planet.” Lisa Kemmerer, author, Sister Species and Eating Earth, said “eating hamburgers is like driving a bulldozer over the rainforest” and “being an environmentalist who is not vegan is nonsense on stilts.”

Another conference speaker was convicted criminal Nick Cooney, founder of The Humane League, a conference sponsor, who in the past threatened to kill the children of a drug company’s employees.   At last year’s conference, one of his employees stated, “When it is time to launch the campaign, find a vulnerable target, prepare everything for at least a few weeks and then assemble an overwhelming force to utilize from day one. The crueler it is, the quicker the fight is over.””   If anything Cooney and company are tame compared to fellow speaker and former PETA alumnae Bruce Friedrich, who has remarked that “blowing things up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation.”

“Krista Hiddema, Mercy for Animals (Canada), hinted at no animal products being sold as the end goal, stating “we’re never going away.” Hiddema also stated that “we [the animal rights movement] are winning against the largest organizations in the world,” and “they are terrified of us.”

 “Breaking the law can often be a good thing to do,” said Zach Groff with the Animal Liberation Collective. He talked about “confrontational activism” such protests, vigils and open animal rescues from farms without permission. “This is a type of activism that can often upset people, it can rile people up.” 

At last year’s conference, Groff advocated, ““All of these events [agricultural fairs, eating contests, political rallies] need to be interrupted and shut down.” – Zach Groff of Direct Action Everywhere (a group that has seen run-ins with the Secret Service).”    Another one of the players at the conference was a front group calling itself the Beagle Freedom Project (BFP) run by convicted felon Kevin Kjonass aka Kevin Chase who has bamboozled the daughter-in-law of President Trump.   Lara Trump, wife of Eric, appeared via video at a fundraiser for this felon shocking everyone since HSUS’s legislative arm spent $200,000 attacking President Trump.    These extremists think they’ve trumped Trump by co-opting his daughter-in-law. 

“Kjonaas got a six-year sentence in federal prison for a sustained campaign terrorizing employees of a medical research company.  BFP’s president, meanwhile, has also produced a propaganda film trying to boost the reputation of an FBI-designed terrorist group, the Animal Liberation Front.   The FBI has estimated that the Animal Liberation Front and associated groups are behind 1,100 criminal acts causing over $100 million in damage.”

You can look no further than the plight of a small business owner in Berkeley, California who had to deal with terrorists from the newly reincarnated Animal Liberation Front, now calling themselves “Direct Action Everywhere” picketing his shop for four months in a row.

“The animal rights group, Direct Action Everywhere, held protests in front of the Local Butcher Shop in Berkeley, Calif., for four months. The Washington Post reports that protesters would be “dripping with fake blood, tightly bound in plastic wrap as if they were cuts of meat. Singing, shouting, lecturing customers.””

 Local law enforcement did nothing to protect this small business owner from a sustained terrorist attack, ultimately forcing the shop owner to give in to the extremist’s demands.  Just as was shown in the recent Charlottesville, Virginia protests, law enforcement today routinely stands by and allows these violent thugs to get away with destroying American lives. 

In Part 2 of this continuing series I will uncover the sordid history of rapists and pedophiles that fill the upper leadership of animal rights organizations and your local rescues and animal shelters.
