College officials say support needed against animal rights protests

Officials with the Vermont college that was targeted by animal rights activists over its decision to slaughter two oxen say resources are needed to help farms and other businesses with online threats. Green Mountain College officials testified before the House Agriculture Committee Tuesday about the uproar over slaughtering the retired oxen and using the meat in its dining hall. Critics signed online petitions and sent millions of e-mails from around the world. School officials also said that area slaughterhouses were threatened.

It is so past time for the public to understand that the vegans of the animal rights movement want to end animal agrculture and endanger the health of our nation.  They have infiltrated schools to try to convert our children and the vegans at the top, Wayne Pacelle and his HSUS buds, Ingrid Newkirk and her PETA buds, ASPCA, all of them collect money with emotional appeals showing puppies and kittens when their money goes to work on the no agriculture, no animal use agenda.
