Here's two money paragraphs....
HSUS and animal rights groups the Fund for Animals, Animal Welfare Institute, Born Free USA (formerly the Animal Protection Institute), the Wildlife Advocacy Project, the law firm of Meyer, Glitzenstein & Crystal, and several current and former attorneys of that firm, paid the settlement for their involvement in the case brought under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) that the U.S. District Court ruled was "frivolous," "vexatious," and "groundless and unreasonable from its inception." Today's settlement also covers the related Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) case that Feld Entertainment filed against the groups after discovering they had paid a plaintiff for his participation in the original lawsuit and then attempted to conceal those payments.
In December 2012, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), a former co-defendant in the case, settled its share of the lawsuits by paying Feld Entertainment $9.3 million. Today's settlement brings the total recovered by Feld Entertainment to more than $25 million in legal fees and expenses, which the company actually spent in defending the ESA case.
Of course....I never heard of this news!! Someone should have had criminal charges....filed. Bribing/paying a witness!!?? They play dirty....just like the DemocratSocialists!!
Wow is right...It’s really sad that the majority of the animal rights groups scam people that are unaware for many millions every year.
Most of them are anti-hunting, vegetarians, vegans or enviro groups using the Endangered Species Act to keep people off both public and private lands.
They try to associate themselves with honest animal shelters and recovery centers for their fund raising when in fact they’re ripoff artists.
