Animal Rights Hall of Shame: Daniel Andreas San Diego

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

Meet Daniel Andreas San Diego, Vegan, Animal Rights Terrorist, Accused Bomber.

FBI's Most Wanted Fugitive Felon.

San Diego was the first domestic fugitive added to the FBI's most wanted terrorist list after he was tied to three homemade pipe bombs that were detonated in 2003 at Chiron Corp, a biotechnology firm in Emeryville, and Shaklee Corp., a nutritional products company in Pleasanton.

San Diego, currently on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” list, is presumed responsible for several bombs that detonated in 2003 at two California biomedical research companies. One of the two companies was linked to New Jersey firm, Huntingdon Life Sciences, a top animal rights target. These bombs were made up of the same materials used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.  

One of these bombs was accompanied by a “secondary” device, timed to detonate an hour later, after paramedics and firefighters arrived on the scene.  Like the majority of animal rights terrorists, human lives mean nothing to them. People like San Diego have no conscience and couldn't care less about innocent lives lost. 

San Diego is also believed to be connected to the criminals of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruetly (SHAC), who are opposed to all medical research using animals. Before the related bombings SHAC targeted HLS customer Chiron and its employees with a series of actions, accusing them of being "puppy killers."

Authorities allege San Diego bombed facilities in Emeryville and Pleasanton, California, because he believed the Chiron and Shaklee Corporations had ties to animal-testing labs.

The sophisticated homemade bombs had ammonium nitrate brand explosives and relied on "kitchen timer style mechanical timer devices," according to an FBI affidavit.

The blasts caused extensive damage to the office buildings but no one was killed. While the bombs were set to go off at night, remember, the bomber set at least one secondary device deliberately targeting first responders. That bomb WAS meant to take human life.  

San Diego was at the time attempting to start a business making vegan marshmallows.  If that doesn't scream privilege, I don't know what does. 

He was indicted in 2004 for four federal felonies and placed on the FBI's list in 2009.  

The bombing of the Chiron and Shaklee office buildings is what the eco-freak and animal rights movement call tertiary targeting. In order to shut down animal related businesses, these terrorists believe its perfectly acceptable to target other business and people with up to a 3rd degree relationship to the original business targeted. In this case, both companies were owned by a Japanese parent company who had a separate contract with Huntingdon.

Activists like to boast about their actions, here's one of their announcements:  

"On the night of September 25th volunteers from the Revolutionary Cells attacked a subsidiary of a notorious HLS client, Yamanouchi.  We left an approximately 10lb ammonium nitrate bomb strapped with nails outside of Shaklee Inc., whose CEO is both the CEO for Shaklee and Yamanouchi Consumer, Inc.  We gave all of the customers the chance, the choice, to withdraw their business from HLS.  Now you all will have to reap what you have sown.  All customers and their families are considered legitimate targets."

This could be YOU. All it takes is three degrees of separation between a target and you for the animal rights movement to come after you.

"He also has unusual tattoos, the FBI says, including a round image of burning hillsides on his chest with the words "It only takes a spark" written below. The sides of his abdomen and back have images of burning and collapsing buildings."

San Diego was under 24 hour surveillance in 2003 when he gave the FBI the slip in San Francisco. They have never found him since then.  Ariana Huemer, a Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) employee, may figure in the case.  An FBI evidence recovery log from the search of San Diego’s car describes a check Huemer wrote to him.   Ariana Huemer, besides being an HSUS employee, was the editor of a 2006 book on the history of the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) a sister to the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) both terrorist groups.  Additionally bomb making materials were found in the car he abandoned to give the FBI the slip and found at his home.  

Huemer was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in 2006 but she pleaded the Fifth and refused to testify. Prosecutors offered her immunity and she still refused to reveal what she knew. Ultimately Huemer was employed by HSUS for 17 years before she left to found her own California Chicken Sanctuary called Hen Harbor. 

Huemer may have been able to walk away from the California bombing cases scot-free, and spend 17 years at HSUS but she hasn't gotten a complete free pass.  

In 2020, animal control seized 300 birds from her after a Facebook page called Hen Harbor Uncensored surfaced to expose the massive animal cruelty they say is occurring at her property and is even being committed directly by her. 

In 2011, San Diego was featured on America's Most Wanted, the first of 5 times he has been featured on the show. Tips poured in pinpointing a location in Massachusetts. By the time the FBI arrived, San Diego was no where to be found. Again in 2013-2014, tips came in that he was hiding in Hawaii. The FBI searched and once again came up empty. There is no way he's on the run this long on his own. Someone must be hiding him and providing cash for him to live on.

His father, Edmund San Diego, a wealthy California city bureaucrat has always refused to talk about his son.  One that isn't so shy is convicted animal rights terrorist, Kevin Kjonaas aka Kevin Chase who sneaked onto the Tucker Carlson show in 2017.  

Prosecutors also presented testimony from an FBI agent who gathered records of Kjonaas’ telephone calls. Those showed a call from Kjonaas to a man later charged with setting off bombs outside a California pharmaceutical company, Daniel Andreas San Diego, several hours after the bombings.

Kevin Kjonaas aka Kevin Chase also has his own listing in the Animal Rights Hall of Shame. 

The FBI is still offering a quarter of a million dollar reward for San Diego who is known to be armed.

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.  

Animal Rights Hall of Shame: Nick Cooney

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

Meet convicted criminal and predator Nicholas Cooney.

Like all animal rights extremists, Nicholas Cooney has no demonstrated knowledge of animals.  Get this... he has a bachelors degree in "non-violence" studies.  Maybe he should go back to school and study underwater basket weaving this time as he doesn't seem to have learned much the first time.  

He first surfaced as one of the members of the Philadelphia chapter of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC). Activists like Cooney and his pals are opposed to all medical research.   Instead of just having an opinion on the subject like the rest of us, these domestic terrorists took things to extremes. For example, on September 7, 2005, the New York Stock Exchange temporarily suspending trading Huntingdon’s stock because animal rights activists sent out over 10,000 emails threatening employees of the stock exchange and publishing the direct dial numbers and personal email addresses of dozens of stock exchange employees. Three days earlier, activists poured paint stripper all over the car of an employee of a company linked to Huntingdon.  Numerous other suspicious fires and acts of vandalism occurred at various employees’ homes. Non-violence indeed. 

As part of these long vandalism sprees, Nicholas Cooney was arrested in July 2005 in New Jersey with paint on his hands that matched graffiti sprayed on a fence at the Hoffman-LaRoche Pharmaceuticals plant accusing employees of being “puppy killers.” When the police detained him along with activist Janice Angelillo, they gave fake names. Items found in their car linked them to a case of vandalizing a home and car in Long Branch by spray-painting graffiti and gluing the locks shut. The innocent victims living in the home had no connection to Huntingdon or the medical research field. SHAC is famous for six of its leaders being convicted of domestic terrorism charges. Like a chip off daddy’s shoulder, the Philadelphia chapter was just as violent as the main group. In an effort to cover their backgrounds they renamed themselves “Hugs For Puppies” in 2002. Sounds so cute.   So non-violent...

At the same time, Cooney founded another front group called “The Humane League” in 2005 to mask his activities. In 2006, Cooney was convicted of making terroristic threats, criminal conspiracy and harassment in a Pennsylvania court. According to court documents, Cooney threatened to kill the children of an employee of a drug company. 

During the sentencing hearing the prosecutor noted that Cooney had the audacity to wear a shirt with the message “I believe in the use of violence to achieve animal liberation” at protests and that Cooney also had “disorderly conduct” and “criminal trespass” convictions.

Since that time, Cooney has attempted to go after anyone who tries to reveal his true identity.  His Wikipedia page is sparkling clean.  He even tried to sue the Center for Consumer Freedom, a watchdog group that publishes dirt on animal rights terrorists. They ran an ad in 2008 revealing his background. Cooney sued. He lost. Courts have long ruled that leaders of non-profits are ‘public figures’ which raises that libel bar as high as the law allows.

The ad was captioned, “Why is [HSUS] Helping a Terrorist Group Raise Money?” Plaintiff alleges libel based on the ad’s statements that plaintiff, in its purported prior incarnation as SHAC Philly and Hugs For Puppies, had ties to SHAC USA (an animal rights organization whose leaders undisputedly were convicted of, among other things, conspiracy to violate the Animal Enterprise Protection Act); that plaintiff’s organizers have been involved in violence; and that the media had reported that plaintiff’s leader, Nicholas Cooney, threatened to kill the child of a pharmaceutical company that works with Huntingdon Life Sciences, an animal research lab targeted by SHAC USA for its animal testing practices. 

Cooney next surfaced working for five years at Mercy for Animals before he was forced to resign as executive vice president after multiple employees came forward to accuse him of workplace bullying and harassment.

“Nick Cooney’s history of abuse is an open secret, and sadly, a history with which I have firsthand experience.

Throughout the majority of last year, I experienced Nick’s gender-based bullying on a near-daily basis….His actions have dehumanized me, degraded my confidence, devastated my mental health, and made me question my sanity, worth, and competence for the better part of a year.” Christina Wilson. 

There there’s this testimony from ex-staffer Jaya Bhumitra, “He made me question my worth, ability, and sanity–an experience I have since learned is a pattern among numerous other women who have worked closely with Nick.  

Krista Hiddema, vice president at Mercy for Animals had this to say, “Sadly Christina and Jaya are in good company – there are many other women who have similar experiences with Nick.” 

In the years since his criminal convictions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Cooney has done a good job of scrubbing the Internet of his past.  The Humane League still exists and continues to get millions of dollars given to it by the Open Philanthropy Project. In August of 2018, The Humane League was given another ten-million-dollar grant.

These days Cooney promotes himself as a venture capitalist investing in plant based alternatives to real food when he's not lecturing at Harvard, Yale and other top educational conferences.   Just the man America needs educating their impressionable college kids.
