Consumer Group Says Atkins Lawsuit Pushed by Meat-Hating Animal Rights Radicals

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine Connected to Yesterday's Five-Count Animal Rights Terror Indictments

WASHINGTON, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), the organization promoting today's lawsuit against the estate of the late Dr. Robert Atkins, has an undeniable animal- rights motive for attacking a wildly popular diet plan that features meat and dairy foods. And PCRM has clear connections to an animal-rights terror group whose seven leaders were arrested yesterday by the FBI.


Today the Center for Consumer Freedom outlined the connections between PCRM and Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC), a subset of the terrorist Animal Liberation Front. SHAC members have bombed cars and office buildings, threatened the lives of innocent Americans, and beaten at least one medical researcher while his family watched in horror.


A February 23, 2004 Newsweek article reported that PCRM president Neal Barnard co-signed a series of intimidating letters in 2001 with SHAC president Kevin Jonas, who was among those indicted yesterday for acts of terrorism. Newsweek reported that less than 5 percent of PCRM's members are physicians, that Barnard also chairs the animal-rights cult PETA Foundation, and that SHAC is considered a "domestic terrorist threat" by the U.S. Department of Justice. And PCRM spokesperson Jerry Vlasak recently encouraged activists to murder doctors whose clinical disease research puts them at odds with the animal rights movement.


David Martosko, Director of Research for the Center for Consumer Freedom, said: "In today's climate, I'm astonished that anyone who works with violent domestic terrorists would be taken seriously on any subject, including dietary health. How would we feel if Hamas announced a lawsuit against the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)? We'd call it what it is: politically-motivated showboating by people with a violent streak."

So they're not just a bunch of wing-nuts. They're dangerous wing-nuts. Wonderful.

All right, let me get this straight...It's ok to kill a doctor who is using animals for research, but it's morally wrong to eat a chicken?

Dangerous wing-nuts, indeed.

At least this lawsuit is exposing the PCRM for what it is - not concerned doctors, but extremists willing to use violence and defamation as a means to an end.

The PCRM is destroying its own cloak of credibility with this lawsuit. It could be far worse if they were more subtle in their tactics.

I don't know whether to laugh or be afraid???

Thank you for that article...now THAT's scary.

P.S. Sharron, where can I find your first cookbook? I have the second one but can't find the first.

Pookie, there are only a few copies left at Wisdom Herbs. http://store.wellsfargoestore.com/st...&l=SharronLong There is a link. Click the cookbooks link on the left side.

Oooo... They are having a special on my book and stevia sold as a package deal. Kewl

Anyway, if they run out I might be able to help locate one for you. Let me know if you have any troubles. Thanks for asking

Good grief!!! What happened to live and let live? If those type people spent quality time with their families and minding their own business, they would not have time to worry about what other people want to do. I have a set of moral/religious rules for myself, but it is certainly not up to me to enforce these same rules in the lives of other people. I don't judge, lest I be judged...sound familiar? This world is full of people who are way out there and determined to bring alot of people along with them. This stuff really makes me want to scream. Trina, your getting it straight question is right-on!
