Episode 516: Ingrid Newkirk Round 2 Co-founder, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals; Advisory Board member, EarthSave International; Advisory Board member, United Poultry Concerns; Director, The Foundation to Support Animal Protection; animal rights activistIngrid Newkirk isn't just the President of PETA, she's also a militant activist. She's soaked herself in fake blood, of course, but she's also been arrested more than 20 times. And she's an avowed supporter of the terrorist Animal Liberation Front. Newkirk wrote a book called Free the Animals! The Untold Story of the U.S. Animal Liberation Front and Its Founder, ‘Valerie.' In it she writes that she has “become somewhat used to jumping on a plane with copies of freshly purloined documents and hurriedly calling news conferences to discuss the ALF's findings.” In 1993, Newkirk arranged an interview for TIME magazine with “Valerie.” Later, the animal-rights movement would be abuzz with speculations that Valerie was just one of Newkirk's PETA employees. The entire episode has suggested what many federal law enforcement officers have openly speculated: that ALF and PETA may be populated with identical personnel, the only difference being a setting sun and a ski mask. Newkirk gives interviews to ALF's publications, supports the legal defense efforts of ALF criminals (with PETA's money), has been subpoenaed in regard to her ALF connections, and has even been accused in court documents of participation in the ALF arson of a Michigan State University research lab. In the 1970s, Newkirk worked for Montgomery County (Maryland), and then for the District of Columbia, as an animal protection officer and deputy sheriff, before becoming DC's first female poundmaster in 1978. She co-founded PETA in 1980 with established animal rights activist Alex Pacheco. Since then, PETA and Newkirk have become synonymous. Former employees refer to PETA as “the cult of Newkirk.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michaeldecon/support

Gregg Schumacher's family started one of the first and most prestigious furrier companies in the Pacific Northwest, Portland's Schumacher Furs. Now it no longer exists as a business in the city of its birth, thanks to a targeted harassment campaign from mainstream activists like PeTA and their violently extremist cousins, the Animal Liberation Front. The city government refused to help. The police refused to help. The courts refused to help, and even demanded he and his wife pay tens of thousands of dollars in the activists' legal fees. Now, Schumacher has launched a new initiative, Restore Law & Order. Its purpose? To use the legal system to force municipal governments who fail to protect their citizens from groups like those common in the PNW who destroy property and threaten lives to send an extremist political message. Gregg Schumacher joins the program to talk about the organization & its strategy, and to discuss his personal experience with the fringe left and how it has caused the city he once called home to rapidly deteriorate. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/victoria-taft/support

I mean, we kind of carried on regardless, and we started trying to do as much damage as we could to inflict economic loss on these companies.” – Ronnie Lee    Ronnie Lee founded the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) in 1974. The Animal Liberation Front is a global movement dedicated to the liberation of animals from human oppression. They engage in and promote non-violent direct action in protest against incidents of animal cruelty.   Ronnie served three prison sentences in the 70s and 80s for actions he took against places like animal testing facilities and breeding facilities for testing.   He has been vegan for 51 years and is still out there every day fighting for animals.

From time to time Zoo Logic is approached by publishers, animal facilities, and individuals requesting to appear on this podcast. Recently, we were approached by a publisher in what can only be described as the most unexpected guest request ever! The publisher had re-issued an updated 30th anniversary edition of Free the Animals, written by none other than PeTA founder, Ingrid Newkirk. After sending a review copy and scheduling the interview, communications coming from the publisher and PeTA began to decline and eventually cease altogether. Apparently, the team representing Ms. Newkirk developed cold feet. Undaunted, we examine the book which describes the formation of the Animal Liberation Front in North America in the early 1980's. Given the advancements in the law, oversight, and public awareness of animal testing since the book's first release decades ago, the question for Ms Newkirk and the author of her foreword, actor Joaquin Phoenix, is whether their message of resorting to criminal acts and property destruction to achieve animal liberation is relevant today.

In less than 2 months, I go to trial, where I face more than 10 years in prison, for freeing animals from nightmarish abuse. It's for that reason I thought it was particularly important to have this conversation now. Ingrid Newkirk, among animal advocates, is a household name, one of two people (along with Animal Liberation author Peter Singer) most known for the founding of the animal rights movement in the 1970s. And she has learned some lessons in that nearly half century of work that would serve all activists – and people interested in change – to hear. Consider the lesson of her book Free the Animals: when systems are broken, it's important for us to take direct action. Whether it's monkeys trapped in a lab or human beings having their rights violated, when corrupt institutions are failing to do their job, it has always taken grassroots activists to create change. Sometimes, this even involves people who are deeply embedded in these institutions, as was the case with “Valerie,” the police officer who, after witnessing disturbing inaction by the authorities, took it upon herself to free the animals herself – and launch the Animal Liberation Front in the United States. (Valerie's story has just been republished, in Free the Animals' 30th Anniversary edition. Along with Peter Singer's Animal Liberation, it remains, in my view, one of the two foundational texts of the animal rights movement.) But perhaps the most important lesson from this conversation is less-obviously related to animal rights. It is the importance of remaining focused on a mission. Ingrid has been relentlessly focused on creating impact for animals for virtually her entire adult life. And while others are distracted and even defeated by various personal doubts and disagreements – e.g., one notable and fierce “disagreement” I had with Ingrid that became so heated for me that I ended up in a Chicago jail cell – Ingrid has always kept her eye on the prize. There's power in this sort of focus, the power to change the world.Music by Moby: Everything That Rises

I don't there has been a single day in the past 40 years that she has not fought against injustice toward animals. She is a hero for animals, for people, and for showing all of us how to make change happen.   Ingrid came on the show to talk about her book, Free the Animals. She wrote it in 1992 and it was just rereleased for its 30-year anniversary. It's about the beginnings of the Animal Liberation Front in America and it's about animal testing.   There is a chapter in the book that starts with a quote by Nicholas Chamfort, “Do you think that revolutions are made with rosewater?”   That quote makes me think about everything that Ingrid and PETA and the ALF have accomplished in the past 40 years. It also makes me think about what's happening in this country right now. The fight against injustice toward animals only becomes more difficult as people in this country lose more rights. It's all connected. We're all connected. How we treat animals is very much connected to how we treat humans and at the moment, we're not treating anyone very well.   So, please listen, share and then go start a revolution.   LINKS: Free the Animals: https://www.amazon.com/Free-Animals-Amazing-Liberation-Anniversary/dp/159056670X   PETA: https://www.peta.org/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peta/?hl=en   Twitter: https://twitter.com/peta/   FB: https://www.facebook.com/official.peta/

In just 9 days, one of the most important trials in animal rights history will begin. My friend Matt Johnson faces a felony charge for saving the life of a sick baby pig, and exposing one of the most disturbing episodes of animal torture in recent memory: ventilation shutdown (VSD) at Iowa Select Farms, or ISF. The practice of VSD, which involves shutting down the vents in a building and pumping in hot steam, leads to hours of torment before the animals die. And for working with an employee at ISF to blow the whistle on this practice, Matt is facing 8 years in prison. This is wrong on so many levels. But to understand why this is happening, we have to understand the deep and systemic roots of animal exploitation. And that's why this conversation I had with Matt and Jon Frohnmayer is so important. Matt and Jon, you see, are not your prototypical animal rights activists. Matt grew up in rural Iowa surrounded by pig farms, and still has family members in the industry. Jon's dad was the Republican Attorney General of Oregon, where he prosecuted a case involving the Animal Liberation Front. Both were deeply entrenched in the system – but they got out. This conversation will show you how and why. Now we have to try to help an Iowa jury understand that, too. This is the make or break year, not just for animal rights defendants, but for the movement. If we can show the world that even residents of rural Iowa won't stand for practices like VSD, it'll send shockwaves through the system. If, in contrast, Matt goes to prison for blowing the whistle on one of the most horrific cases of animal torture in history, it'll be a stark indication of a corrupt system. But no matter what happens in 9 days, making change will depend on a mass of people raising their voice together. Change, in other words, depends on you.

This week we are sharing a recording from a Stream of Solidarity discussion hosted by Animal Rebellion in the UK. The discussion is with Ronnie Lee who has been a vegan and campaigner for animal liberation for almost 50 years. In the early 1970s he was one of the founders of the Animal Liberation Front and served three prison sentences (a total of about 9 years in prison) for animal liberation activism. Since his last release from prison, in 1992, he has been involved in various animal protection campaigns and political activities. His main focus is now on vegan outreach and on the creation of a network of local activist groups to spread the vegan message. You can find a video recording of the stream here.

La puntata di oggi prende spunto dalle azioni portate avanti da quello che è probabilmente il più noto gruppo animalista radicale del mondo: l’Animal Liberation Front. A partire dalla fine degli anni ’70 questa sigla ha rivendicato centinaia di azioni di sabotaggio e danneggiamento a danno di aziende e centri di ricerca accusati di sfruttare in vario modo le sofferenze degli animali. Queste storie di conflitto ci danno lo spunto per parlare di un tema importante per le lotte ecologiste, ovvero la questione del rapporto tra uomini e animali, in particolare di come questo rapporto sia concepito nel sistema capitalista.

Grassroots disability organizations are demanding the resignation of Peter Singer after he advocated the killing of disabled infants for economic reasons on a radio talk show.   Singer is an important figure in the Animal Liberation Front and a tenured bio-ethics professor at Princeton, Eddie Ytuarte talks to Steven Drake of Not Dead Yet about Peter Singer's latest dangerous statements. The on-line petition protesting Singer's philosophy garnered 460 signatures in three days, many from people who live with major disabilities.  The petition cites Singer's long history of dismissing the lives of disabled people as well as his recent remarks. Singer … is advocating that both government run healthcare and private insurance can and should deny care to some people based on real or alleged cognitive and/or physical disabilities for economic reasons. Read the petition and add your name HERE. Peter Singer book, Animal Liberation: A New Ethics for Our Treatment of Animals (1975), is widely considered to be the founding philosophical statement of the animal liberation movement and his writing is popular among other environmentalists.  His thinking is based on the philosophy of Utilitarianism. Martha Nussbaum, author of  Frontiers of Justice: Disability, Nationality, Species Membership (2006), says the Capability Approach provides a more adequate foundation for justice than Utilitarianism can supply.  Utilitarianism, Nussbaum argues, ignores adaptive preferences, elides the separateness of distinct persons, misidentifies valuable human/non-human emotions such as grief, and calculates according to “sum-rankings” rather than inviolable protection of intrinsic entitlements.   The post Disability Organizations Demand Singer's Resignation appeared first on KPFA.
