U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Launches Assault On Animal-Rights Movement
The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) is preparing to launch two nationwide legislative campaigns that it says might prove to be “the largest steps yet taken to bring about the ultimate defeat of the animal-rights movement.”
The USSA says it will work on two fronts to defeat the anti’s. First, it will work with key legislators to introduce model bills to help states prosecute animal-rights terrorists and organizations. The USSA will also campaign for model legislation that will outlaw unproven birth control methods for wildlife.
The USSA prepared The Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act, draft legislation to combat animal-rights terrorism, and is promoting the bill to legislators in all 50 states. The model bill officially recognizes animal and eco-terrorism as a form of domestic terrorism; increases penalties for persons participating in politically motivated acts of animal or eco-terrorism and creates specific penalties for those who encourage, assist or finance these acts of terrorism.
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a bipartisan membership association for conservative state lawmakers, has agreed to review the bill for endorsement. The draft legislation was recently presented before ALEC’s Criminal Justice Task Force and the Homeland Security Working Group.
The USSA is working with legislators in Mississippi, New York, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin to have the bill introduced in 2003. For more information, visit www.ussportsmen.org.
